I was idly listening to a libreoffice impress presentation for wagie related stuff last week and was really distracted by how someone's phone's screen was on the entire time and she didn't seem to care.
I just learned that iToddlers got this new feature called "always on display" where... you have a display that's always on to display useless information :senkohm:
what an amazing innovation, sasuga steve jobs tensai!
and when I read the comments on this, the crapple herd loved this feature because... "I don't have to touch my phone to look at the time while I'm working or studying." :mito_laugh:

thank you for reading my blog post

Mort de Jean Pormanove : la bonne et la mauvaise censure
contre-attaque.net/2025/08/21/…

"Les publications sociales et anti-racistes réprimées, la torture en direct de Jean Pormanove impunie. Décryptage
L’article Mort de Jean Pormanove : la bonne et la mauvaise censure est apparu en premier sur Contre Attaque."

MET police say they will have their dedicated area for girls and women who get sexually assaulted at this years Notting Hill carnival

What kind of lunacy is this?
Along with the stabbings, shootings, and massive drug use!
If there is going to be so many women sexually abused that there's a need for a dedicated area for them, then I would argue that this event is a danger to the safety of women and shouldn't go ahead.

I ask you, what other event would be allowed to go ahead if it had the potential to be a rape fest?

[SOLVED] on debian 13 xfce, what appearance style do I need so the title bar doubles its width?


I use a small notebook so it comes in handy to double the title bar to have space to increase the title font to 16 or 18

On debian 12.11 this was the case, but I don't remember how I configured it or what style I used. The style I now use on debian 13 is adwaita

This made me think of something only slightly related. When my son was 10 he we were in the attic and found a box with computers in it. One was a dos machine, the other an ancient and clunky windows 3.1 laptop.
To him they were archeological relics. I was skeptical that they would boot after 10+ years in the attic, but they did.
He thought the dos machine was broken, til I ran lotus 123 and wordstar. He thought W3.1 was better. Played with them for hours, then took them apart.

I vibe-coded an idea that I'm really curious to get feedback on! objective-create-a-singlepage-…

The idea was to create a way to encrypt, timestamp, distribute and record info, both for personal and public uses. The website is nowhere near true production, but I can't afford to continue working on it until I know it's actually a good idea with a use case. As such, the website and tool is a work-in-progress.

Treballadors i ex-treballadors de Microsoft, juntament amb membres de la comunitat, han establert un campament de “Zona Alliberada” a la seu central de l’East Campus de l’empresa, rebatejant-la com a Plaça dels Infants Palestins Màrtirs.
L’acció, organitzada per No Azure for Apartheid, arriba després de 22 mesos de protestes contra el paper de Microsoft en el genocidi sionista de Gaza, incloent-hi el compartir informació d’IA i vigilància amb el règim israelià.

I tried to read the details given in that article a few times or search others. All just share the promo text with its (intentional?) shortcomings. It seems they are ground based, not giving distances - but at the same time they claim a more focused area, higher speed and lower latency. I tried to find on what satellite or so they intend to mount the antenna. They mention meshes, so probably drone-to-drone with some relays as needed. Probably good product, but buzzword marketing. 🥲

GIMP

It's an amazing piece of software, that I personally use for all my design needs, for mockups at my freelance job, for youtube thumbnails, or for quick photo edits.

github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP

Krita

If you're more into digital painting, Krita is what you're looking for. It's super flexible, again, with panels you can move around to suit your workflow, it has tons of brushes, and you can further extend that by downloading new ones.

Inkscape

For vector graphics, the go-to open source app is Inkscape. Whether you want to mockup an application or a website, or design an icon, or just draw something, Inkscape can do it all!

Blender

For 3D modelling, your probably already know about Blender. One might argue it's THE best tool for the job, used by animators, VFX artists and modelers all around the world.

Darktable

Darktable lets you edit your photos non destructively, and your original images are preserved.

VLC

For video playback, you can't find something as versatile as VLC. It's not the prettiest, but it will play virtually anything, even badly damaged files, that it can even repair.

Audacity

Another example of an app that doesn't look good at all, but that lets you do a TON of stuff. It's a powerful audio recording and editing station. It can digitize anything, import and export virtually any format, and even combine audio files.

LibreOffice

LibreOffice: if you've ever used OpenOffice, forget all about it, because LibreOffice is where it's at. It's faster, it looks better, it's more stable, and it's extremely customizable to let you work with either a toolbar and menubar, or with a more modern ribbon.

OnlyOffice

Another solution is OnlyOffice. Its compatibility is better than LibreOffice, and I've been using it for a year or so, now, trading files back and forth with people using MS Office, without any issues whatsoever.

Kdenlive

For video editing, Kdenlive will probably be your go-to. It's a wonderful non linear video editor, with very powerful features to organize your media, edit your project, and render it in a format of your choosing.

Handbrake

For converting video into other formats, handbrake is what you need. It can rip DVDs into a single file, convert any format to any other, using any codec you might want for audio, and for video, and any container format you prefer.
