Non-destructive filter layers caught my eye, and has been something I've missed since moving off Windows/Photoshop to Linux. Looking around it seems like they introduced this in V3, which is great to see.

Should be made into a motion picture I think. I remember being there and chatting to the engineer who was trying to keep the machine running. As I talked to him, Colossus crashed. It was apparently a full-time job maintaining all the merc

Unless I'm reading the numbers wrong, we're having a bigger issues here in the UK[1], with 2091 cases in 2024, though that dropped to more than half last year. We have already lost our measles elimination status. [1] https:/

Loved my N900 also, it was peak phone for me. But more importantly, we need an alternative to two big tech companies who are cranking the enshittification dial right up while also remaining under a particular country's laws.

We need this, an alternative to Apple and Google. I guess this is a descendent of my 16 year old Nokia N900, and probably the best phone I had. It ran the Maemo operating system, and its UI was a forerunner to a lot of what is current. It

Given how well windows games now run on linux through proton, it just made me think - surely, Outlook/Word etc should run easily? That would be strange firing up Word from Steam though. Companies seem completely dependent on the Word&#

Dplyr is quite happy with data.frame. R is built around tabular data. Other statistical languages are too, such as Stata.

The release day is meant to be today, the out-of-stock just means they haven't opened yet. They've asked people to purchase a voucher on the C47/R47 site for an early-bird discount which will send some money towards the devel

This is a project to imagine what HP would have made today had they still been making calculators. It is unusual for a newly designed RPN calculator to be released, although there have been several re-releases of older HP models, such as th

Goodness the file save dialog(s) on Windows - it makes it so hard to save a file into my personal space. It's unintuitive and you need to click through, I think a couple of dialog boxes before you get to 'Your Documents'.

Yes, another MATE user here (UbuntuMATE). I like how efficient and boring it is. It's also very consistent. But I'm worried we're being left behind with the shift to Wayland. Maybe that is unfounded.
