TIL there is no island of Kokomo. There is a Kokomo, Indiana, but I’m guessing that’s not what The Beach Boys were singing about. I’m so disillusioned.

Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act now to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards #DefectiveByDesign

Went to a pump track this morning for the first time. Absolutely brilliant! Great fun. #surfskate #skateboarding

I've been helping @zemarmot with porting plug-ins to the new 3.0 parameter format, which sets the stage for macros and other cool things. We're down to one more left!
Since that's not very visual though, here's a new oddball file format that can be imported (requested by a user): Esm Software PIX files! Essentially a JPEG with a custom header added, these were used by a Canadian screensaver company. The sample images I've found were of actor Leo DiCaprio and low resolution swimsuit photos. :)

It feels really weird using environment variables that are not even 1 day old yet.

Sometimes it's easy to forget how much the community innovates so quickly and it really is person to person where things get done.

The dev version of #GIMP now supports importing Adobe Color Book (.acb) palettes! This is how Adobe stores the various Pantone, Trumatch, Toyo, HKS, and other print color palettes.
The files can't be included in GIMP directly, but now if you have them you can load them in for use with the other CMYK features.
In the future I'd like to add support for CxF as well as some FOSS palette formats like .kpl, .soc, and Scribus .xml.

Working on the last three plug-ins needed to finish @zemarmot's API port for #GIMP 3.0. We're also taking the opportunity to resolve a few 21+ year old request, like making sure all the PDB parameters are available in the GUI. In this case, Map Object now lets you set the radius of the sphere and the Viewpoint, 1st and 2nd Axis values in both. (GUI design still in progress!)

A year from now, you will wish you had started today.

Save yourself the regrets, and start now.

Also the work in the phone dialer seemed interesting. I'm sure many people out there would be happy to use the device over those WIFI services. I look foreward to seeing how they develop in time.

@purism last poke for the night, if you want to release the STL file for the back of the Librem 5 I would love to 3d print a new back cover or have one made out of solid copper or aluminum.

The plasticy feel of the back doesn't have the expensive premium feel you would expect from the device like the sleek aluminum feel of the side frame.

I would hapilly order a clear case jacket for it too however so far I haven't been impressed with them in the space -- the outer shell case for example felt pretty terrible and below average.

I do think releasing the STL or cad files would encourage the community to "make the device their own" and maybe do custom color backplates which encourages the development of brand culture and loyal fanbase.
