@omglinux do we know if its fully open source or if there are binary blobs on it?

@prokoudine @GIMP @Krita That snapping layers to other layers is such a great timesaver.

The colored guides look interesting.

So much cool stuff in the pipeline

New weekly recap is out. Highlights: new features in @GIMP and HDRview (by @wkjarosz), new releases of Armory 3D, VCV Rack, and plugdata

@schumaml suggested adding the ability to hide the on-canvas text editor in a discussion thread. It turned out to be very simple to implement (referencing the existing "Use editor window" toggle), so I put it together and submitted it for review. Hopefully it will be helpful if added to #GIMP!

New feature coming to
@GIMP v2.99: snapping to layer boundaries and on-canvas equal distribution of objects (just like in @inkscape 1.2!). Warning: this is early preview, more work to be done. Available in a merge request, patch by mr.fanstastic

@thunderbird I hope it's still compact enough or has a compact mode toggle switch so my 5 accounts with dozens of folders are still easily navigatable on a 4k 43" screen without scaling.

I am highly anticipating this update, will look forward to being another space monkey when it makes its way into the -- its been so encouraging to see all the work the last few years.

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.

See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t

@gmic glad to include GMIC in my 2022 -- thanks for all the cool work you all do -- I was confused though from the website ( libreart.info/en/projects/gmic ) -- is PayPal the only way to digitally contribute still?

It would be cool if people could donate using or any of the other FOSS-friendly services on a one-time or monthly basis.

@Ruth_Mottram @pixelfed I just realized has a I can install on from their website. store should pick it up, I don't see it on either yet -- I've been anticipating this for a while and first impressions are quite good. Its hard to believe its been 2 1/2 years since I joined pixelfed & the already.

@BrodieOnLinux Yes, if it contained the source code for the included packages and was large format like

Oddly enough my list would be Gentoo, Arch, Fedora/Silverblue and maybe others.

Just thinking about this is bringing back memories of buying boxes of & in box in stores 20 years ago.

Everything happening right now with Twitter will happen with GitHub.

@gmic to reiterate, 100% agree these tools need to be offline usable

@gmic to go along with that, now that these technologies are here -- they are here to stay and will either be developed transparently or underground. Banning these technologies in the west will just mean that they are pushed to the east.

I think the term "AI" is misleading as other tech terms like "The Cloud" and "Neural Network" are in that they are euphemisms to drum up investment money and mimics of actual things.

If anything the goal should be to keep as much development in open source and the public domain as possible. GMic does a great job at pushing the abilities of open source effects.

I've been very careful in how I approach pixelfed development in regards to Instagram and their ToS/trademarks.

This is why you can't crosspost, or otherwise access IG apis via Pixelfed.

They are grasping at straws at this point, along with banning Pixelfed urls, this behavior is desperate.

We must be doing something right 😉
