But it's Linus so everybody likes to think everything he says is blunt and crass.

GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release by xoggy in c/foss@beehaw.org

Do you have evidence of that? That's not what I saw: https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html#i-dont-like-the-name-gimp-will-you-change-it

I don’t like the name GIMP. Will you change it?

With all due respect, no. We’ve been using the name GIMP for more than 20 years and it’s widely known. The name was originally (and remains) an acronym; although the word “gimp” can be used offensively in some cultures, that is not our intent. On top of that, we feel that in the long run, sterilization of language will do more harm than good. GIMP has been quite popular for a long time in search engine results compared to the use of the word “gimp”. So we think we are on the right track to make a positive change and make “gimp” something people actually feel good about. Especially if we add all the features we’ve been meaning to implement and fix the user interface. Finally, if you still have strong feelings about the name “GIMP”, you should feel free to promote the use of the long form GNU Image Manipulation Program or exercise your software freedom to fork and rebrand GIMP.

Help transplanting burr oak saplings (programming.dev)

submitted 6 months ago by xoggy@programming.dev to c/greenspace@beehaw.org

Last autumn I stored several acorns in a 5-inch pot that was filled with potting soil and covered. I took the cover off 2 days ago to discover 7 saplings between 3 and 7 inches long. They are too big for the pot I was storing them in. Are they safe to transplant at this stage? What size pot should I transplant them in? How do I safely move them without damaging them?

It's about the journey not the destination.

It's Official: Oxygen Has Been Directly Detected in Venus' Dayside Atmosphere by xoggy in c/space@beehaw.org

TLDR sunlight hits the carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere and splits it into carbon-monoxide and oxygen then on the night side it recombines.

YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world by xoggy in c/technology@beehaw.org

It's all good just make sure you have an up-to-date ublock-based extension: https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17j6ygs/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_29_2023_mega/

As of writing this Adblock Plus isn't working with Youtube but no reason you should be using that over ublock origin anyways.

Martin Goetz, Who Received the First Software Patent, Dies at 93 by xoggy in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

This is what happens when you patent software, folks. You die. Let this be a lesson.

Alternative to Google Photos with similar UI for local use by xoggy in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Have you tried Immich? It has a very similar feel to Google Photos but with the advantage of owning your storage.

Configuring Xfce4 keybindings (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by xoggy@programming.dev to c/nix@programming.dev

I found no documentation on how to do this but found this option in the home-manager source code that I might not be using correctly:

home-manager.users.my_username.xfconf = {
  enable = true;
  settings."xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" = {
    "&lt;Super&gt;space" = "rofi -show drun";
    "<Super>space" = "rofi -show drun";
  };
};

Any ideas?

Here is my full configuration.nix file for full context if that helps. I just started with Nix and NixOS this week so I the config is a bit haphazard at the moment.

Some people just can't pace themselves by xoggy in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

[-] xoggy@programming.dev 58 points 1 year ago

Think about it though. When people say they want to "code AI" what they typically mean is they want to play with prompts and waste electricity on garbage models, not actually write any of the underlying models that power AI.
