Sure, everything costs effort and money. But not $400 per image download like what some commercial sites want to charge.

There’s two comments mentioning AI, and people happily and cordially correcting them. What the fuck are you on about?
You are the only angst comment here, calling people stupid.
There’s also maintenance blindness. It is easy to see how something lasted forever, when you weren’t the one doing the maintenance and repair work everyday. Also, many “good ol’ immortal appliances” neglect to mention how most of the parts are actually brand new or it wouldn’t be functional otherwise.
We tend to forget that the design on the left was the corporate ux language for a long time. Open source is just slower to fall for the trends, but they fall eventually.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Fred TV 2.0: Ultra-Fast Open-Source IPTV app, now will full Android TV support and much more!
3·2 months agoJust to be clear. The flatpak is free but the mobile one is $3,62?
Not judging, nothing wrong with FOSS getting sources of income to keep the work up. But I’m just trying to make sure I understand the rationale. What does the app exposes on users? because pay usually demands google play’s most privacy invasive services.
While desperately trying to stay relevant in a game genre that died 6 years ago. The golden goose is dead and they are still trying to crush golden eggs out of its dead carcass. They will never realize that the egg crushing machine they invented is the one responsible for it’s death.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Gimp 3.2 is officially released. The game has changed. Adobe just got punched in the face.
3·6 months agoThe update announcement is precisely about adding this one feature. But reading is hard, I know.
Wild concept here. Raster as background and marking up as vector graphics on an overlay. Or use gwenview which is designed exactly for that.
Inkscape? Maybe.
Gimp is not a drawing software, so it makes sense it doesn’t have a dedicated “draw complex geometric figures” tool by default. It does have a shape selection tool. Anyways, it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Krita is for painting, gimp is for image manipulation, inkskape is for vector graphics. Paint.net is a weirdo that does everything but doesn’t do any of those things well enough.
But if your roommate says he isn’t a thief, however he always hangs around with the local gang and continuously brings used stuff that he has no way of legally acquiring since he doesn’t even have a job. I don’t know man, you have to start asking questions.
Mike is not a nazi, he just goes to the nazi bar because he likes the beer.
Yeah, because thieves go around making public statements of “we are thieves!”
No, but they are forever beta. They still lack a ton of features I use.
The only thing I dislike of heliboard is their swipe function requires Google binaries. Most FOSS keyboards either lack some feature I use or are immersed in wild controversies.
Why does every mobile keyboard developer have some controversial shit? I just want to text in peace.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Audacity 4 will be a full UI overhaul apparently.
9·1 year agoBecause then you’re just describing Audacity. The concerning feature has to be intentionally activated by the user. And if you download and build it yourself then that part of the code isn’t even accessible. You hace to modify the code to activate it before you build it. I’m actually glad with the way they handled it. They listen to the user base and if you follow tantacrul he regularly consults changes with the users.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Chat Control is back & we've got only a few weeks to stop the EU CSAM scanning plans.
21·1 year agoOk listen. That is the way governments want you to think in order to get away with erasing your right to privacy. It’s the old “I have nothing to hide” argument.
But here’s the thing. You have a butthole. I have a butthole. Everyone in the planet has a butthole. Having a butthole is nothing to be ashamed of, it is not a crime to have a butthole. No one will prosecute you for having a butthole. But that doesn’t mean it is ok for the government to see everyone’s butthole. That’s your right to privacy.
If you want to protect children, you turn to social scientists to understand the problems and identify the ways in which to catch and prosecute offenders. Weaponizing surveillance on everyone in order to catch a very tiny percentage of population who might be committing a crime is hurting everyone.
Privacy is not about empowering pedos, it is about protecting everyone’s rights. Erode one right and you erode all rights. Once the system is in place, then political surveillance to destroy democracy and install fascism is what follows.
Ironically, the global fascism is currently run by pedophiles.
Neat project, shame on the basic premise. Just remember to delete your second brain once in a while, for the health of your first one, and actually use it for something creative once in a while.


DRM has existed since the DVD era. I think there were even several attempts with VHS before that.
