That's great, I just hope there is a way to opt in and opt out based on language or emonis in a profiles description someday to help optimize the user's feed.

Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing #ActivityPub! 🙌

gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-

The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send an MR to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’.

Smart move by GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer.

I tried to get it up and published but it wasn't starting at all in the container -- silently failing.

After fiddling with permissions, it was changing the working directory in the Dockerfile that finally did it.

It's now available for you to try out at gemini://se.gemtext.foo! 🎉

If you want to see CMYK support, my friend Martin Owens @doctormo is working on Inkscape via Patreon donations.

Please boost for visibility. Having functional CMYK is vital for printed works made with #Inkscape.

Decided to try writing a Wayland compositor for fun. Took me a few days to get things going to a video-able state.

This is scrollable tiling, heavily inspired by PaperWM (which I'm still using and very much enjoying). You've got an infinite strip of windows that you can scroll through.

It's also got dynamic workspaces which work like in GNOME Shell (the Correct™ way to do workspaces), but all monitors have workspaces.

The repo is github.com/YaLTeR/niri if you want to peek at the code

`Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “There is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”`

So I guess on island is on and the winds have been a factor.

I talked with residents years ago when I was there of a prior fire years back.

Very sad, wonderful people live there.

I could imagine having the default options "no scale" "cover" and "contain" similar to CSS property `background-size` would be useful.

In a ideal world I wouldn't mind any of the 3 was default if nondestructive editing was already piped in. Because it's not, I typically have to keep copies of layers prior to rescale if I want to change any details and keep it looking crisp and good.

I think it's also noteworthy that Krita has `File Layers`, `Raster Layers`, `Text Layers`, in addition to `Bitmap Layers` -- I wouldn't mind loading imported layers as a kind of File Layer that can be scaled up or down and then rasterized either.

By default if I recall correctly imported layers default to having the scale/transform tool activated at a suggested size and the user can then scale up or down the layer prior to completing import so that the source image doesn't loose quality in the process.

Food for thought.

An attempt to implement a user-requested feature. This adds a configuration to have imported layers automatically scale to the size of the existing canvas (keeping their original aspect ratio of course). Apparently this is the default behavior in Photoshop. I'm curious how many people prefer it?
