Ladies, gentlemen, none of the above. We have come full circle. The mainframe + Terminal combination is back

Is this the one with the competing standards? Are we having a meta meme now?

Oh, snapdrop is back? The site has been unreachable for years to me

I guess, the browser is kind of the replacement for the OS in OP’s case, which is again, a nonfree OS/browser.

AFAIK macOS doesn’t care if you add another partition in diskutil and install Linux on that through the usual live ISO’s. But please make sure you:

• Don’t delete your main OS (make a Backup!)
• Install Linux with (U)EFI compatibility
• Don’t touch any recovery partitions
  • Don’t mess with the Mac’s EFI/ESP partition

to be fair, the first colour picker isn’t too bad, it it?

Answering the question you meant to ask, blueray is a physica… just kidding.

LocalSend is basically like bluetooth file sharing over WiFi. Bluetooth, especially the fallback 2.0 is notoriously slow and short ranged. The situation got better with BLE, 5.0 and Long Range. Still, both devices need to speak BT. Ap*le’s iOS is well known to ignore BT file sharing capabilities while implementing own proprietary solutions. On desktop, the situation is still bad. I once tried to send a file between two Windows machines via BT, and it was a horrible user experience. LocalSend (and similar) fix this by implementing cross platform apps and using readily available API’s to share files with few clicks and reasonably high speed between a plethora of devices. I guess, if you don’t have the aforementioned problems, you won’t need LocalSend et al.

Really great software. Works like a charm most of the time, the apps are quite okay, sends files locally. The first low-barrier solution to share stuff between wildly different devices since e-mail.

Did you try Adobe InDesign, and how did it fail you? I believe it’s the absolute industry standard for doing any layout stuff, which creating presentations essentially is.

EDIT: Alright, I see. No linux counterpart.

more like intentionally installed malware but yes, 100 % this

wait, what? I’ve had a GIMP 2.x for at least 15 years now. they can’t just… increase the number?? it’s part of the program’s name now

[Completely unrelated to the content] How the heck is this post managing to crash two out of my three lemmy clients?

Libertinus Serif (much nicer Times New Roman-ish serif text font. Huge amount of glyphs, open source font license, great to read on display and on print)

Lato (Sans font which imo compliments Libertinus Serif really good. More for short texts, headlines etc. I wouldn’t recommend it as a UI font. Also permissive font license.)

I knew it was exactly this scene before even clicking the link. Iconic and a classic

more like 6 dollars on the BOM, would sell for 30 doll hairs to the consumer, tho

Apple standing on the side: 👀

AFAIK if you buy any computer from within the last 20 years, there’s a good chance you can get a 6.X Kernel running on it. 32-bit support is fading out, though. If you buy a 64-bit computer, you’ll be able (with sufficient RAM and hard disk space) to install any modern distro on it.

Semms like damn good news in a way

There’s a hackable smart watch. It’s got a screen and might not be usable for you for any productivity. Completely open source, as it seems. Called bangle.js 2, not too expensive so you might give it a shot?
