guess elon musk has enough money to rival the economic activity of an entire tri state area

the philidelphia one more specifically, possibly a few others

he'd need another trillion to get the new york one so that seems safe... for now

anyway he's most certainly not as funny or charming as the other tri state area mad cartoon supervillain

Do you also have a specific row in the parking lot for the stores you frequent most? I used to forget where I parked all the time. This revelation was a game changer.

In some chunks of the world, it’s Father’s Day in just one week! I’ve just updated https://rad.dad with a fresh coat of paint, but it’s the same rock-solid service: a rad.dad email address and domain name (with DNS management) for just $10/year. Makes a great gift for the rad dad in your life.

(And we do gift links! Buy the service in advance, share the link, and the recipient can choose their own name and complete the sign-up process. It’s rad!)

Also, allegedly he's reached out to social media companies to stop them from posting this image of him doing exactly what you think he's doing.

So to Elon, I hope you get what you so richly deserve.

Update: headache frequency is reducing so I'm hopeful. Though, last week it also went down and Thursday came back with a vengeance.

I'm well rested. Slept until 11. 🙂 Gonna try to get some work down and write.

Thank you all for the support. It really does help to know I have folks sending good vibes.

@baldur We're trying to change that - we now have a UX design site where we track UX issues, request user feedback, and try to make more thoughtful design decisions after discussion and testing.

If you're interested in contributing your thoughts (or just want to see the reported issues thus far), more information is here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/work%5Fitems

We're also starting to document design decisions for future review: https://testing.developer.gimp.org/core/specifications/

Hi internet friends. I have a bit of a weird request.

I am looking for a German technical writer/translator who knows their Web Development basics and would be able to translate @bw 's excellent https://htmlforpeople.com into German (casual edition). Here are some of the facts:

• All the markdown files are ~31k words in total.
• I will pay for your time, I don't expect free labor. However, that also means you need to be able to send me an actual invoice ("me" being a German legal entity with a business license who just so happened to get frequently audited by the tax office).
• The contents will be available publicly to everyone under the same original license. My goal is just to make that content available to German speakers. I'm not entirely sure if getting paid for a translation is a violation of the CC's Non-Commercial clause, so I checked with Blake before posting this and he's fine with me doing this (thanks again!)
• I will host the contents, you don't need to worry about any of that.

If that's something you can help out with, please say hi via email to sky@overengineer.dev. And if you know someone who you think would be a great fit, feel free to forward this post!

:8bitheart:

Oh, and also: This post is only applicable to you if you are a human and you will use human translation skills and your human brain to translate the text with the love and attention it deserves. If you want to pitch me using an LLM for the translation, I will block you. Sadly, this also means I can only consider working with you if you have a public website or profile or anything that demonstrates me you actually do technical writing stuff, because I really don't want to pay someone just to throw the text into an LLM. If you think you could scam me into paying you to then just use an LLM, you will learn that I have a less-friendly personality, too. Don't be a jerk, please.

if anyone comes here to swear that gimp’s better now, here’s a thought:

fucking rebrand the piece of shit like a normal person. when the Mozilla suite got a redesign to not have a trash UI anymore we got Firefox. that’s how normal people do a successful rebrand.

RE: https://mas.to/@zzt/116748965255528053

GIMP‘s hostility to users actually being able to productively use it is legendary as is its disdain for people showing concern about its name. It’s genuinely poisoned the well for the adoption of OSS creativity software.

(I need to try out Krita, though, which looks much more solid.)

one time I recommended Krita to a graphic designer friend and I had to swear to her that I wasn’t trying to trick her into “trying that gimp bullshit again”

I was not in fact the one who got her to try gimp in the first place, that’s just how bad her experience with gimp was

it’s not me the FOSS special boy who’s wrong, it’s:

- the trained graphic designers who tried gimp and hated it
- wikipedia
- people who prefer “corporate fascist slop” or uhhhh checks notes, other FOSS apps like krita that give a shit about design and didn’t name their app after the rape scene in pulp fiction

“nothing we can do about our reputation for being hard to use” says the only major FOSS graphic design app with a reputation for being hard to use
