You heard . Deep down you knew this was coming. Now all your art are belong to them. Time to move on to better things...

Kreative Suite

  • Krita is your new design/painting app
  • Kdenlive will give you video-editing powers
  • glaxnimate adds 2D vector animations to you videos
  • digiKam organises your collection images

https://kde.org/for/creators/
Also:

  • Inkscape - create sophisticated vector-graphic designs
  • Scribus - layout like a pro
  • GIMP - need we say more
  • Blender - ditto

@kde

rolandixor,

@kde @kde Glaxnimate really needs some love, though it's pretty powerful.

We just held our 2023 sprint and worked hard on improving KDE's video editor Kdenlive for three days straight.

We tackled bugs affecting grouped clips, the #effects workflow, the organization of menu items, and much more.

rolandixor,

@JshKlsn @kdenlive @kde What hardware are you using in on? I had this problem on older hardware, so I can relate, but not so much on my more modern laptop (11th Gen intel, RTX 3060 graphics).

As you might have noticed earlier today, I accidentally reset the poll from yesterday 😳

So, here's a warning for poll creators:

If you edit a Mastodon poll, changing the options at all will reset the poll to zero, even if people have already voted on it. It will do this automatically without warning, so only edit options if you're okay with resetting the poll.

rolandixor,

@dansup @feditips @Gargron It can be argued that you should be able to edit a poll and keep the voting data, although this can create some other tricky issues.

Here's the argument:

Let's suppose you've made a typo or an oversight, but you don't want to now go back and collect the votes you've already gathered (because even here, without the algorithm driven timeline, people keep it moving). What do you do then? Creating a new poll for this seems a bit much.

An early preview of the redesigned @pixelfed UI

It's about time we stepped out of the "federated instagram" shadow

While it will remain familiar, I'm eager to build on our Collections (think Pinterest), Exif data (flickr, 500px) and Portfolios (deviantart) features

We are not abandoning the social photo sharing aspects of IG

Rather we will be extending beyond them to provide new and exciting ways to share photos + videos, more details soon!

rolandixor,

@dansup @pixelfed Improved UX will be the biggest deal for me. Excited to see a more streamlined posting experience, for instance.

If recent events have proven anything, it's that Open Source software has always been capable.

No, not the individual applications themselves. Of course, if a certain software lacks features or functionality available in a comparable software "competitor", then it's not yet capable.

No, what I mean is - Open Source software as a model, has always been capable.

Open Source has a stigma problem. Not an ability problem. Not even a funding problem. If you assume it can't, simply it won't.

rolandixor,

@doctormo I expanded on this a bit further in the thread. I agree - it is expensive! And I would love to see greater funding (I also am aiming to participate and put my actual money where my mouth is).

The challenge I see is that our societal perception is that open source development isn't worth our time and therefore our money, hence, talk of funding what's free seems like an affront to many. Likewise, devs rightfully feel it's unreasonable.

We need to change one to achieve the other.

All the more reason I think Godot is a great engine for a career mode open source FPS/3PS. I've got ideas for a story, just no time lol.

I think it's a bit of a shame that with engines like this, the open source gaming landscape is still so abysmal.

I want an æthernet port on my computer.

@btp Not an öethernet port?

Don't underestimate Open Source Software! I just undid 100s of changes to a design in @inkscape (), with no crashing, and no issue.

Not only that, but I was able to save a copy of the file first (File > Save A Copy...) and then revert and save the original. This is different from a simple "Save As" that you might find in other software, because it doesn't change the file your actively working on.

How cool is that?!

I know I just started writing this yesterday and shouldn't show such an early/unpolished prototype but check this out:

  • full oauth auth/pinia state
  • basic skeleton layout
  • basic feeds
  • basic profile layout
  • modals

All using the vue3 composition API and existing backend pixelfed apis (with some slight config tweaking)

Super exciting times for @pixelfed

rolandixor,

@dansup @pixelfed Sweet! I've been longing for simplified UX on Pixelfed, so glad to see this.

Some people assumed the hashtag follow bug was an indication of a switch to an algorithmic home feed and let me just say, I would never do that without some form of warning and community consensus.

It's a bug.

rolandixor,

@dansup it's only a true bug if it's in the order hemiptera

Otherwise, it's a creature, not a bug 🤣

Small update: couldn't do a stream last month due to some pressing work taking up time. However, I'll be back on this month, should all go as planned!

Also, planning on new CSS + design + open source content! What would you like to see?

rolandixor, to random

Sincerely, I don't think people realize just how powerful of a tool Inkscape is after 20 years of existence and development.

We're talking amazing tools, extensive extensions, path effects, filters, multiple different formats supported... it's the Blender of SVG! And that's just scratching the surface!

Shout out to the developers, seriously. Don't sleep on this app!

I miss the days when Ubuntu was inspiring, an ideal to aspire to. We need a new distro that captures the essence of this again.

Does open source have a systemic UX problem YES. BUT, is that why most people tend to think open source software is "bad"? NO.

I'm increasingly realizing that the problem is many-fold, but boils down to a couple major sources:

  1. TERRIBLE bias, fed by thought leaders who are too lazy to do their homework, or literally paid to shill for their sponsors.

  2. Familiarity combined with general laziness. So many folks literally don't want to learn something new: they want exactly what they've known.

I miss the good old days of solo games that we're actually fun to play because you actually stood a chance of winning and letting off steam. Now, games are designed to frustrate you and make you angry for no reason at all.

It's not even for profit. I don't get it.

rolandixor,

@dansup Probably the wrong place to ask, but are there any plans to improve/simplify the process for adding new posts on the web app?

I can design a workflow for this if that'd be helpful.

Does anyone know of an #OpenSource #email #server that works well with Ubuntu and can be installed on a server with ease?

(Preferably, with low system requirements)
