I give shoutouts to software. Big whoop. Once more, lets talk #inkscape

I basically got some new shapes by installing the inkscape-open-symbols into my user share folder, which would have been cool to have inside the actual application. But the symbol sets need to be properly formatted, so there you go.

I need to draw up some easy to understand illustrations, and I think: symmetry is akin to accessibility. Shout out to my OCD fam. I used simple snapping to expedite concept stages and it's ez.

Maybe I need to qualify that all these screenshots are in #Norwegian lol But still, I've written the alt texts of the screenshots in English if you want some translation.

My job now is cajiggering in #Inkscape to my workflow and to create ways to easily deliver graphics, assets and illustrations.

It's going to take a bit more exploring before I get to a point where I can consider myself afluent in the ways of Inkscape.

How am I doing so far, @inkscape @doctormo ?

also, still learning how to make threads... apparently I'm all over the place, but it's more or less a "blogging" of my learning process and I share my experiences as I go along.

Feel free to correct me if I've made any logical errors, language errors, etc. I'm only human, tryng to hume the best I can.

For future reference, I might try to make one long thread instead of branching ones. But I feel like some asides deserve their own branch.

Again: I'm learning as I go.

@bara what works on your machine? I don't get the context. Is it that you're jokingly promoting Photoshop? Because I don't talk to trell.

@bara what, that you're schizophrenic?

Can we just gush a little about #gimp - particularly the one situated in the #flathub #flatpak beta repo.
This whole window is unintrusive. The title and window controls are just sort of there, at the top of the window. A standard titlebar, toolbar in a single column to the left, and on the right grouping toolkit dialogues on the top and project management dialogues on the bottom, all surrounding the canvas.
It's more cohesive, more compact, and gives focus to the actual image itself... one sec

@tk the gauntlet cursor is still the OG.

Is there a "Browser Choice" like website, but instead of browsers, it's user friendly Linux distributions? And I'm talking about something that caters to normal users, rather than power users and/or developers.

Here's the best advertisment for Jitsi I can think of. Why yes, Zoom will now use your data to train AI.. and you can't opt out.

I think it's time for me to find a new daily driver. Silverblue was awesome, what with it's immutable system image, virtualized environments using podman and Flatpaks ftw. But since RedHat is RedHat I have to switch. Any suggestions?
