If you're not able to find an adequate solution for Obsidian, you may want to investigate TriliumNext Notes.

As always, Rollie busting out another comedic gem.

I'd actually never used Photoshop until yesterday (CS6 to be exact. Yarr! 🏴‍☠️ ), out of curiosity to see how it compared to this modded GIMP, so I don't really have a good frame of reference on how they truly compare beyond what I messed around with briefly.

On a side note, I've seen on youtube that it's possible to get the latest version of Photoshop working in WINE on Linux Mint, which could be an option if you decide to fully switch to Linux. I managed to get CS6 working in WINE, though it seemed to be a little slowish when making brush strokes (unsure if that was normal or not), and there was a couple minor visual bugs (a tooltip not going away), but nothing that would've fully prevented me from using it.

Woah! Had no idea. Considering that, I'm amazed this ability for GIMP isn't more well known (or maybe it is, and I'm just unusually late hearing about 😅)

3 Days of The Condor is the best political movie, IMHO.

Best Apolitical? Picking one of my favorites, Where Eagles Dare.

Both are watchable for free on Archive.org :D

This is no different from saying "The child slaves working the cobalt mines have it worse, so buck up and be grateful!", which isn't terribly useful. Things could always be worse, but that doesn't delegitimize or negate other issues. Instead of saying you could have it worse, why not instead ask how we can improve things, or even propose something?

There's very good reasons that app developers focus on flatpaks, which mostly revolves around how incredibly terrible the experience is creating native packages for each distro and each release version of those various distros.

Flatpak used to be problematic, but even a loud hater of Flatpak, Richard Brown of openSUSE, now lauds Flatpak as an excellent solution after his criticisms were addressed.

1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

I figured I'd recommend the OG since it's easily available from flathub, and even in maintainence mode, was likely feature complete for most needs. But cheers for mentioning TriliumNext as well, which hopefully will come to flathub as well soon!

Voyager thankfully does also have this feature. If you go to a community and press on the little icon at the top right, next to the 3 little dots, you'll open the 'sort by' menu. If you press the 'Top' option, it will then let you choose between those different time options.

Don't we already have that feature? I can choose to see the top posts of a community by hour, six hours, 12 hours, day, week, month, and so on, up to a year by clicking the sort type drop down menu on any community.

Do you mean be able to see the top posts between two different times, like top posts between 2022 and 2023?

Giving us eggs would just be used to make the current administration look better.

"See? We brought egg prices down just like we promised! Take that, biden!"

In the meantime, you could try alternative plant based eggs, like Just Egg.

I think it's okay to not be a fan of religion in general, as while it's possible to cherry-pick the good bits, almost all religions have a lot of bad bits that are often readily taken up by the uneducated portions of society, such as Christians using the bible to demonize LGBTQ+, evolution, science, etc. That's not to say uneducated people can't be tricked into bigotry or suppression of women's rights using other means, but in my experience, religion makes it much easier for those views to spread and take hold, as well as quell critical thinking in general (since doubting the teachings is oftentimes seen as a sin itself).

The context of the article is mostly about how islamaphobia allows for passivity from other nations as Islamic people are slaughtered in genocide, such as in the case of Gaza. This is a pretty indisputable fact, and one I've seen first hand in my own family, where with one member there was ready sympathy for the people of Ukraine, but very little for the people of Palestine, and quick acceptance of the narratives against the Palestinians (though how much of that was due to Islam vs. just plain old xenophopia of middle eastern cultures or racism is difficult to ascertain).

Personally I think it's possible stand up for human rights everywhere while also not being particularly psyched to see religion of any kind growing its influence. Regardless, it shouldn't stop the help and solidarity you give to people of any religion who are being subjugated to an unjust death machine.

It'd be quite nice if the USPS integrated GNU Taler as its banking system, were that to ever happen.

Ah, it's showing up for me now. Must not of federated out yet when I responded.

Good luck with your new community.

If someone attacks you first, and you slip on the brass knuckles before defending yourself, then surely that would be a defensive use?

Sorry, I meant the one in your post body, so !ccw@discuss.online instead of ccw@discuss.online.

Quick heads up, your link needs to start with an exclamation mark ! to have it link to your community.

Otherwise browsers will think it's an email.

The spat with the OBS devs was due to a fedora package maintainer refusing to package OBS with an older library for their own Fedora Flatpak repo, despite the newer library causing severe breakage with OBS (which is why the OBS devs held it back in the flathub release).

The Qt foundation tried to get fucky once already, and KDE and some other major companies that rely on it were about ready to fork it if they persisted. Qt seemed to calm down after that.

Not a great relationship to be in though, constantly suspecting that your toolkit might do a rugpull at some point if the shareholders demand it. But I think they could pull off a fork if they ever did.
