That sounds way more expensive than getting fresh pizza with a good flavorful crust recipe.

On a good pizza, the crust is basically fresh bread. Fresh bread is delicious.

And there’s a huge difference between fifty degrees below zero and absolute zero. But both are lethal to humans if exposed to it for a night.

The First Council of Nicaea (325) established common Paschal observance by all Christians on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.[18] Even if calculated on the basis of the Gregorian calendar, the date of that full moon sometimes differs from that of the astronomical first full moon after the March equinox.[19]

They wanted “first Sunday of Spring” but defined using their calendar, but that calendar doesn’t mesh perfectly with our calendar (and has leap months every few years), so converting to Gregorian makes it appear to move around.

The UI was overhauled in the 3.0 update on March. The new documentation says changing brush size is fairly easy: https://testing.docs.gimp.org/3.0/tr/gimp-using-variable-size-brush.html

All brushes have a variable size that can be changed.

You can change the brush size in several ways:

• By using the default shortcut keys for changing a tool’s size:

  • Decrease size by 1: [

  • Increase size by 1: ]

  • Decrease size by 10: {

  • Increase size by 10: }

• By using the default mouse scrollwheel actions for changing a tool’s size:

  • Decrease size by 1: Ctrl+Alt+Scrollwheel Down

  • Increase size by 1: Ctrl+Alt+Scrollwheel Up

I get where you’re coming from, but maybe you haven’t heard the news! GIMP 3.0 just got released in March including an overhaul of the UI. While I haven’t checked it out myself, reviewers are saying it’s now really good.

This is correct, for at least the scope of my life - business likes to treat other non-business organizations as simply inferior businesses.

Large language models (LLM) are the product of neural networks, a relatively recent innovation in the field of computer intelligence.

Since these systems are surprisingly adept at producing natural sounding language, and is good at create answers that sound correct (and sometimes actually happen to be) marketers have seized on this as an innovation, called it AI (a term with a complicated history), and have started slapping it onto every product.

That’s what they’re saying - it’s not true, but it is what they’re saying.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Think of it of getting in at the ground floor, where we’ll create topics and in-jokes that will be repeated ad nauseum for decades!

Yep, that’s the idea

I have a few friends that are fed up with Microsoft and Google and other big tech. We’ve been degoogling and trying Linux together (errr, they have - I’m the grizzled Linux junkie they all reached out to for advice).

Most of them have tried all the different fediverse products and they’ve found homes here and there.

Some of them have graduated into self-hosting even. I find this bit wonderful, if it’s unfortunate how far the industry had to rot before they considered the move.

Seems difficult to build it as a social media if it’s inherently unsocial.

Heli-board (available via f-droid, be sure to apply the .lib fix)

Either. Heck “follows written instructions” qualifies. I’ll give ya a bonus point for “requesting clarification of ambiguities”, nerd.

Correct, nerd.

Its secret ending has a secret ending. The secret ending within the secret ending also has a secret ending.

To reach each of them you have to recontextualize what you thought the basic assumptions of game were to do something that’s almost impossible.

Can we all at least agree that counting numbers are a joke? Sometimes they start at zero … sometimes they start at one …

I could be mistaken, but since it’s a Mozilla base code and F-Droid distribution chain, I’m not sure where Google can stick it’s thumb in the pie.

(currently scrolling from the throne) Fixed that for you
