  • Circles ≠ Vectors. Sometimes I want to edit images by drawing circles around things. I'm actually serious, e.g., indicating locations where there is a leak and such. Freehand circles look ridiculous and unprofessional without a drawing tablet.

  • GIMP is meant more for retouching photos, not drawing shapes.

    Then why is there a brush tool which has stars and sparkles? Even the screenshot software Spectacle and Flameshot can draw circles effortlessly. Something this trivial is downright silly not to have as a feature. Every year I have a moment where I decide "okay, I'm gonna do this in GIMP", but then get so pissed off that something that should take less than five seconds takes ten minutes and tutorial to boot, whereafter I go back to Photopea.

    Edit: I just discovered Pixelitor which now obviates my need for Photopea/GIMP. My review on AlternativeTo:

    “Impressive. Basically has every basic functionality what I looked for in GIMP, straightforward to boot, but which isn't in GIMP or too inconveniently so. Installing Pixelitor on every machine from now on.”

  • They literally created an entire separate series about Bush called That's My Bush. This is even mentioned in your own source.

  • Yeah no doubt.

  • Hence the existence of the word "synergy". LOTR is one of my all time favourite films exactly because the music matches the environment so well.

  • Tinder, but not for profit.

  • Legend.

  • Also, your mind is like a muscle. It'll take a while to get adjusted and be creative or find inspiration. Compare only to yourself.

  • Don't expect anything. Just go out. Feed the crows.

  • @rimu@piefed.social I don't know if it's a bug, but when I click the link in a mobile client it works, but on piefed.social the link resolves to https://piefed.social/post/www.nihilore.com, which obviously doesn't work.

  • That's awesome. It even has post-rock. Bookmarking this one.

  • I choose major wealth redistribution by taxing the ultrarich out of existence.

    PS I had a liquid-shooting-out-of-nose-chuckle moment. Thanks.

  • As multiple users have already pointed out: 🌲 in the forest everything makes sense again. It resuscitated my photography—🦋 smetterling.eu—which you could do as well. To boot you can document your process, good and bad, on a small web blog:🌐 Where's your website?

    “How to have a proper small web website within minutes; free, lightweight, easy.”

    Staying inside while feeling empty/aimless/uncertain is nearly always fruitless. When you have to stay in, at least do something with intent. Draw. Dance. Stretch. Calisthenics. Whatever. If you can, force yourself out and go to the nearest greenery avoiding the ruckus of people and the frustrating sound of cars.

    All that and sports, running, rollerskating, et cetera. Get your blood flowing and muscles aching. Good luck.

  • Would be the ultimate irony if a robotaxi mows down Elon Muskuito.

  • PieFed dev Rimu answered at https://piefed.social/comment/12376368:

    The posts in that community will be deleted after that many days. For remote communities this only affects the local copy of each post and the post will still exist on the source instance and other instances (unless they too delete their copies). For local communities the deletion federates so the post is removed everywhere.

    PieFed is intended to run for decades and storage costs money so admins can set how long they want to retain content for, on a per-community basis. It’s up to them to decide what is worth keeping forever and what should be trimmed.

    AFAIK piefed.social has ‘forever’ for the retention of all local communities and only trims remote communities. In some communities piefed.social only keeps posts for very short periods, like 28 days, because it’s the kind of content people look at once and has no lasting value beyond that.

  • The one thing Reddit has is over a decade of archived posts that answer even the stupidest question.

    Exactly, which is what I want to see with the Fediverse. Could be a PieFed thing yes.

  • But I do think we’re in a data hoarding mentality and wish to preserve everything. I think it is important to let things go.

    In general I'd agree, but I'd like to see a Web where search engines show more answers on the Fediverse/Lemmy instead of Reddit. If the default is removal after 365 days, this won't happen.

  • Are you certain? Because to me it instantly removes the incentive to contribute since it won't be retrievable/helpful to anyone beyond 1 year.

    It makes sense in communities made to share picture and such, but not where high quality answers are frequent.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What does "Posts older than 365 days will be removed." mean exactly?
