@tristan957 Wow! An Android version of Inkscape in the future would be amazing🀞🀞

@tristan957 hey @federicomena, looks like the contributor is having some issues with modern librsvg versions, I smell rust toolchain issues

@tristan957 if there are Android GTK apps, they'll be more popular than mobile Linux apps so more developers will be interested and the year of The Linux phone will get closer which is good because Android is pretty terrible nowadays.

A new rule for journalists.

End the interview on the first egregious lie.

Turn the lights out, switch off the recorder, get up and leave.

And your report should state clearly that this is why the interview was terminated.

It never should have been tolerated in the first place.

@davew Bravo!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ€˜

@davew An exception to this rule: if you can counter their lies with factual information then you may stick around and ask further questions. Gotta be good at this though, if someone's willing to tell a lie then they're going to be slippery and try to evade.

Yes, I know, this is just gotcha journalism you might think but no, just regular investigative journalism here, sorry that the questions aren't going easy on you. Stop lying and they'll stop.

It is worth remembering that Google cancelled JPEG XL because they're little bitches who can't accept someone is just an actual order of magnitude better at something they tried doing.

@catraxx I haven't looked too closely at image formats in a long time, what was an order of magnitude better than what?

beans within, beans without
@catraxx no the fucking freaky part is that google was actually a major contributor to jxl

like, they didnt lose in anything, as far as i can tell this was literally just a case of some google exec chosing to side with the aom over jpeg even though google had no stake in the matter and both can easily coexist

@kaia @twinspin6 @xarvos And in some countries it's even worse. In france, bachelor in psychology basically doesnt exist, so it's master or nothing. Except to go from M1 to M2 there is a competitive exam where approx 5% only of people are taken. If you fail the exam, you're only allowed to take it a second time. But you have to _actively_ fail, as in having less than 10/20 on a course during the exam. If you go all in and do not fail the exam, but are not selected at the end, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PASS THE EXAM A SECOND TIME.

So people can lose 4 years of their time for a bachelor's degree that isn't even recognized by the country.

And of course none of this is said to new students/potential students.

The number of people wasting years in this thing is insane.

Remember in 3rd grade when I didn't get an A on my art project because it was "Too creative"?
Because this still sums up my experience with society 15 years later

@nixCraft 1980 for me was a lot closer to 1Mhz/1Kb where did they get all that ram from? Even Bill Gates didn’t need more than 640K

@nixCraft

For me it greatly depends on how much I care about what I'm doing.

If I don't care too much, I prefer GUI.

If I care, I prefer CLI.

Martin Uecker

@nixCraft It is because the command line is stable and does not change all the time. GUIs also generally lack consistency and modularity. It could be different in theory. i don't know why GUIs arre so bad and need to be change all time.

As an Apple user, technology enthusiast and quasi-fan… it is incredibly disheartening to witness the number of rakes that Apple leadership has stepped on over the last 5 years.
