Vector graphics editor Inkscape 1.2 is officially out now
17 May 2022 at 1:07 pm UTC
I recently found out about this new SVG editor: https://boxy-svg.com/ [External Link]
It's an electron app ... that's a bit disappointing, of course (?!) though I think the interface is pretty clearly laid out, & they've put the browser console to very good use by turning it into a live svg editor.
I wouldn't know about the needs of pro users; though as an amateur who frequently needs to put together svgs, I really like this program.
note -- because it's available on Flathub, I just assumed that it's FOSS; but it's not. So that's an important caveat.

Quoting: Luca_PioThey can do all the versions they want, but as long as it remains an alternative to that crap CorelDRAW it won't go anywhere, because the interfaces of both software are anti-intuitive and not comparable to those of Adobe or Affinity.Absolutely, & the recent changes made the interface even more inconsistent. Parts of it look like a hobby project with panes changing size every time you click an option.

Fedora Linux 36 is officially out now

Quoting: rcritBut if you're game you could try https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/introduction-convert2rhel-now-officially-supported-convert-rhel-systems-rhel [External Link]The linked program doesn't convert to/from Fedora; I've checked since converting/'downgrading' Fedora to RHEL clones would be pretty useful to me. (I have an old Mac mini with a 32 bit bootloader, & I use it as my router with an extra ethernet dongle. The Fedora installer works out of the box with it, since it comes with the correct boot image & directory layout, which is a huge convenience -- because the alternative is to do manual partitioning, not forgetting to create an exotic 'Linux HFS+ ESP' partition, getting the right grubia32.efi, 'blessing' it with a Mac utility, bootstrapping a minimal system with dnf, then doing a chroot install). This being a router, I'd like to put something 'slow moving' on it; but RHEL clones don't play so well with a chroot installs; so, there.
Quoting: slaapliedjeTo be fair, with RHEL, you can upgrade. With CentOS, they purposefully broke it. It is one of the key differences. Granted CentOS is basically dead at this point.Yeah it's only CentOS Stream that has lost that ability. As to 'being dead', though; I'm not sure that it's right. The old CentOS got resurrected into not one but two distros, AlmaLinux & Rocky Linux; & the 'new CentOS' looks like it's doing very useful work for Red Hat. If Alma & Rocky weren't able to come out so quickly, it would've been quite the disaster; but things worked out pretty well in the end.

Spoiler, click me
Even Metallica fans generally admit that Lars Ulrich is a colossal asshole, though.

What do you mean, 'mini'? That's not a 'mini'; this is a mini:

I also use Fedora, btw.
(I've been a total convert to the RHEL 'ecosystem' for a while now; my router & VPS are on AlmaLinux, & I'm perfectly happy with all of them.)

Quoting: PhiladelphusThe human eye can't see more than one manuscript page a day anyhow.Quoting: scaineYes, yes, I know, the ink was still fresh on Gutenberg's type and you were lucky if you were able to illuminate one manuscript page a day… :tongue:Quoting: PhiladelphusYou whippersnapper you! Back in my day...Quoting: GuestTime to get a faster printer so I can see my game being printed in real time.I dunno, I find about 6–12 sheets per day gives me that classic "newspaper" feel. Back with life was more relaxed and people were less hurried, y'know? Why, back in my day…
At least 25 sheets per second!!!

Don't expect GOG to support the Steam Deck

Quoting: kerossinWas this even a surprise?I've seen the latest version of Galaxy recently, and tbh I really was taken aback by how messy it looked & was to use. I believe its original promise was to be simple, functional, optional/'out of the way', etc. Pretty disappointing on that front as well.
GOG doesn't care about Linux and they only care about DRM for marketing purposes.
Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

Quoting: Malubisoft fought pretty hard recently to avoid being bought out by the French conglomerate Vivendi (link [External Link] -- ironically, to 'maintain their independence'. 'Ironic', because they're at the vanguard of most of the 'industry's nonsense (from microtransactions, to 'live services', to even 'nfts' nowadays) entirely willingly anyway.Quoting: GuestNext up Ubisoft?Nah. Microsoft is highly opportunistic with its aquisitions. Unless it explodes in its hands -some angry Activision shareholders being able to fight this- this is obiously them getting Activision at discount price thanks to the recent exploits of the Bobby Kotick charming persona. Culture aside, Activision is a money printing machine.
