OH MY GOD I've had this mouse for months and I've only just noticed the "please remove" film

Gah my younger brother has become such a rightist. It actually makes me sad, because I've looked up to him for most of my life. He's really impressive and gifted, but god damn he has some awful takes.

He's not like, directly fascist, but he's adamently defending capitalism. This is something I have a lot of trouble arguing against. I don't know what to tell him to show that capitalism sucks and we should at least try to help our community somewhat, he seems incapable of understanding my point. (Low-key, I wish I brought someone with me who had the same political views)

@Paradox@raru.re He seems to believe that capitalism is mostly fair and doesn't really care about inequality

I complain a lot about Inkscape vs. Adobe Illustrator when it comes to print design. Do you want to do something about it? Do you want us to have nice free software tools for print?

Well Martin Owens @doctormo@floss.social is making things better, he's the one working on CMYK and revamped PDF export for Inkscape. It seems like a massive endeavour, and it looks very promising!

This would open up Inkscape to a whole new sector. Inkscape is pretty good for digital work, but it lacks crucial features for print. CMYK would be a massive step in the right direction.

You can support his work on Liberapay and Patreon. Personally, I would do so, if I had an income

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo Scribus is publishing software, not design software. It's meant to be used to edit documents.

At least we have that for print publishing, it is very nice. I just wish we had anything for print designs...

My designs make use of a lot of features I wouldn't expect publishing software to have, like masks and layer effects. But I have to admit I haven't tried it. I'd expect the experience to be pretty bad though, no fault of their own since that's not what the software was built for.

Still at least you could make use of the fact that it has spot colours to add your own cutlines on a design made with Inkscape, so at least you might be able to struggle your way into getting something printable.

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo I might use Codeberg actually!

Inkscape is completely unsuitable for publishing because it doesn't support CMYK, spot colours, proper PDF output, and maybe some more stuff down the line, I wouldn't know as I've given up on it.

But CMYK support is being worked on and I will re-evaluate is once it has it. Currently there is no free software suitable for creating printed designs. Yes, it's a total embarrassment

After I receive them, I wanna publish the stickers I made to GitHub so anyone can get them made. It'll be a PDF that can be edited in Illustrator but that's also ready to be sent to any sticker printer.

It'll be under CC BY-SA 4.0, so go wild but remember to credit and use the same licence.

Might print a few of those too

How about this

Looking pretty good, there will be a foil effect on the text and face by the way

What if I got that sticker printed?

HAHAHA the french government have an ad campaign to tell people that buying drugs finances crime. WHY DO YOU THINK WE HAVE TO BUY IT FROM CRIMINALS, HUH? I'll give you a guess: I doubt dispenciaries finance anywhere near as much crime in countries where they are legal.

They're changing the default font on GNOME to a custom version of Inter :O https://discourse.gnome.org/t/185-adwaita-sans/26597

No one should use a phone that is end of life. That is super insecure. Sadly, many can't afford to switch to a newer phone, manufacturer are to blame for dropping support so quickly, often without providing an on-device notification for it.

Putting a custom ROM on it helps a little, but ideally no one should be using an unsupported phone because these devices aren't secure.

I kinda like Nothing products, how they aren't afraid to try new things

The attachment system on the CMF Phone 1 looks so cool

Is anyone here going to BornHack?
