Today marks the 29th anniversary of the beta release of @GIMP 🥳 🎉
#GIMP #OpenSource #FOSS

Geeky excitement here! Only a subset of linux apps serve small touch-screens. That set increased, because supposedly keyboard shortcuts will now work; like 'shift'-'command'-'s' for 'save as'. Isn't that exciting?! ;-)

Linux mobile phones, using squeekboard keyboard, now have a real shift-key; the kind that not only shifts letters, but also shifts command-key, and alt-key combinations and more.

Oh my. Is emacs org-mode really going to work now!?

In light of the recent #Omnivore acquisition, I recently published a brief overview of the various #selfhosted bookmark and read later apps that can easily replace popular hosted services. As usual, they're all fantastic and should be considered based on individual preferences and needs!

Happy Transgender Day of Remembrance to anyone who celebrates it. Made this in GIMP real quick. I don't speak for the Linux community as a whole, but I feel like Tux would be really supportive, and I hope the rest of the Linux community can follow such an example.

You're all loved and valid!

No pushiness, or advice, just existing positively in non #Foss spaces.

"Come to the dark side, load Linux" we say.

Consumers: "No, no, we prefer the adware loaded OS, really. We only trust large corporations, Microsoft loves us. Please give us AI, and I like the advertising in my Start Menu. It will even be better occupying my screen! How dare you suggest a non-corporate OS!!"

What a refreshing story! I imagine many of us here owe a great deal to @libreoffice a software suite that has freed us from the grip of the document monopoly, thus broken our dependency on the fate of a single company.
If you're curious about how LibreOffice became what it is today, I highly recommend watching this in your spare time: https://youtu.be/9M468Krlawo

FreeCAD 1.0 is out, and the binaries for various platforms are now available for download too (yesterday they released the source, but today binaries are available too). After 22 years of development, it's now a very robust app that competes head to head with heavyweights in the CAD space.

Para o #TerSoftware cujo tema é "Organização de Área de Trabalho", trago para Android o SmartDock. Indicado para quem gosta de chegar ao ícone de algum app de forma rápida, sem muitos toques e sem ter que sair do app atual.

Ele é acionado na parte inferior, mostra os apps mais recentes e / ou apps que você fixar. Se a lista não couber, vira um "carrossel", ou seja: você pode deslizar horizontalmente por 10 ou 50 apps, tanto faz. Se quiser, é possível abrir uma bandeja com todos apps.

É indicado também para quem gosta de usar Android em monitores e TV, simulando a experiência de um Desktop, pois ele aceita atalhos pelo teclado. No vídeo abaixo, onde o conheci, mostra rapidamente o app nos 30 segundos iniciais:

I’m in the market for a new e-ink ebook reader not from Amazon or any other book reseller.

I found Boox, and they look slick. But I’m having a hard time finding anything helpful in identifying what other options there are.

So help me out, #FOSS and non-proprietary #ebook fans. What should I look at?

Very happy to see PhotoGimp, which turns Gimp into Photoshop-like, still works fine with Gimp 3.0-RC1. I use it to edit my watercolor paintings (mostly contrast and colors, since my scanner is not accurate). You'd be surprised how much digital editors are used by traditional painters these days. Especially for commissions and book illustrations where clients want changes all the time.

The #mntpocket makes for a nice little machine for using at #olf . However, I may have answered more questions about it than I did at my tmux talk.

Estoy investigando el impacto del Software Libre en la economía y soberanía tecnológica en la América hispanohablante*. ¿Hay estadísticas, eventos, leyes, opiniones o proyectos que debería saber?

Ya he investigado FLISoL y las leyes que hicieron obligatorio el SL del sector público.

*(menos los EEUU, y no me permiten incluir países que no hablan español como Brasil - lo siento)

Very impressed and very surprised, one of my service providers sent me a spreadsheet in '.ods' today. 👏👏. #SouthAfrica #LibreOffice #OpenOffice #Collabora #OpenSource #FOSS
