I’ve tried to use scribus, but the interface is pretty clunky and it doesnt react well to high-dpi screens in my experience.

I’m curious about what you think is missing from Inkscape. I use it and illustrator for design work all the time, and I’ve never run into issues with something missing from Inkscape.

At least according to Wikipedia, small amounts of carbon (< 2.14%) in the final alloy are an important component in controlling the ductility, which agrees with what I thought I remembered from materials classes (although I am not a materials scientist). Obviously not using the Bessemer process drastically reduces the amount of carbon necessary, but trace carbon is important.

Hmm I hope it lives up to the hype. I wonder what this new display tech is.

Yeah, the headline writer. The actual information (and indeed the entire article) doesn’t say anything about breaking a covenant, its just that Canonical is changing how they treat updates.

It looks like the photographer sadly passed away two years ago, so checking if he’d be OK with that would be challenging. Most OS’s let you cycle among a set of background images if you want, I dont think you’d need to write a script.

It’s not commercial use, so I think it’s reasonable to download the photos and use them as backgrounds as a memorial to his work.

Open board is unmaintained, heliboard is the fork, and has added some great features IMO.

Do you really think you could build a tower without tensile reinforcement? The hoop stress on the base of a cylindrical tower is no joke, especially when made from something as dense as concrete…

No, I forget where exactly it was, but at some point last year I was deep in Rakuten’s documentation and it referenced that the Clara HD’s OS is based on a modified Android 8 kernel.

That’s true, but I get easily more than that on my current kobo, which has a similar advertised battery life. I can get easily 5-6 days of reading 8h a day on it.

All kobos use a custom OS built on Android…8 (lol). Its not recognizable as Android, but it is the base.

It’s a nightly build, I don’t really see that as an issue. The stable build is available in every format I can imagine.

Oh it should be roughly equivalent. But really, what besides a slab can you build without worrying about tension?

I can only assume they’re trying to talk about concrete 3D printing, but oh boy is that not ready for anything which needs strength.

It’s possible that there’s a reason it requires lossless audio, in that it requires uncompressed signal to work. For instance, if the ML model is trained on uncompressed data, it may need audio which has never been compressed.

Just a comment – for InDesign-type work, I find something like Inkscape (or Scribus) easier to work with than LaTeX. I usually only use LaTeX for things where the layout needs to be pretty but not customized. Its possible to use it for design, but not a good use of time.

Man, I tried to learn FreeCAD, but coming from the Inventor/Solidworks paradigm it was hard.

Yeah I remember that conspiracy theory. Iirc, the claim was basically that any company which had any relationship with any US institution must be a honeypot. It was pretty out there, and as far as I’m aware it was very much debunked.

I’m pretty sure that the Google libraries F-droid are things like the push notification service, which afaik almost anything with notifications uses, even signal.

I’ve never actually compiled from source, but AFAIK they are open source. Its been convenient to use for me, just make very sure you don’t lose your password!

…and neovim. For a more IDE-like environment there’s also LunarVim.

More like a feline-y…
