To be honest with you, I didn't even know that was a feature. (Unless I'm misunderstanding you.) Sounds cool!

If I need to search a website, I use either Ctrl+F or the site: search engine operator.

Ohhh you know that makes sense. So, basically, what you're saying is this?

[Files] = [Files]

[Compressed Archive] = [Files] + [Archive Metadata]

This is good news. There are a lot of great FOSS alternatives on Linux, but raster editing is one of the last few blind spots, I've found.

  • Krita is designed more for painting,
  • MyPaint also seems designed more for digital artwork (and, perhaps just in my experience, but it also seemed rather unstable and kept crashing)
  • KolourPaint is very barebones (seems to be much more a replacement to MS Paint than anything else, so can't really blame it for that)
  • Inkscape is a vector editor. 'Nuff said.
  • Pinta is the closest to Paint.\NET you're gonna get on Linux, except it's based on before the latter went closed-source (bastard...) and as such it's not as feature-complete as Paint.\NET is.

GIMP, meanwhile, doesn't even have nondestructive editing and also can't draw basic shapes (like squares, cylinders, etc.), can't seemingly rotate layers without opening the [floating RMB menu] > Layer > Transform > Arbitrary Rotation dialog window, and good GOD the floating menus can go fuck themselves. How I hate the floating menus. Did I mention the floating menus suck? Not sure if I mentioned that.

Anyway, this switch to 3.0 is really needed and I'm genuinely excited to see the changes it brings, to the UI and the UX in particular.

Just a shame that they're switching over to GTK3 when most other developers seem to be transitioning to GTK4.

Why does it get bigger? I've wondered that for a while now.

I would think that compressing something that's already compressed would still compress it further but at diminishing returns.

His goal.

A VP could have the goal to increase profits by 500% over the next 6 months but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

It might happen, but just because someone says it's their goal is no confirmation that it will happen.

I see from the "View source" option that your comment has everything in a neat, line-by-line fashion, though the final markup is decidedly not.

So, a pro-tip I've noticed from my own commenting experience: even if you have a line break, Lemmy (for some stupid reason) won't apply one when rendering; so if you want it to show, you have to use two line breaks, though then there will be an extra half-line or so that you probably never wanted.

For example, don't do

Line Item 1
Line Item 2

but rather do

Line Item 1

Line Item 2

Yes, I agree it's rather stupid.

US, specifically southeast Michigan: Ramen, bread, and spaghetti, though as other commenters have said everything has gone up, so even these.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

...........Oh, sorry.

Hell no. If anything, it's gotten worse.

In their defense, however, it's probably largely not their fault. In my admittedly one-person-sample-size experience, 90% of the searchable Web is either Reddit threads or articles, and with Reddit going officially with Google (meaning DDG doesn't catch as many Reddit threads as they used to), that leaves most of the searchable Web being articles. Because SEO has to ruin everything.

So, it's not really that DDG is shitty (mostly), but that all searches are shitty. Though, with the whole Google-and-Reddit thing, I find Google's results are noticeably less shitty (though still shitty).

Oof.

 
  • In the Megathread, section 3-12 (Unsafe Sites), under "All Purpose", the first entry is 1377x-to, reason listed as

    Fake clone: (Crafted with cunning intent to ensnare unsuspecting users through deliberate deception).

  • However, in the Megathread, section 3-1 (All Purpose), under "Torrents", likewise the first entry is 1377x-to.

 


Edit:

Lol, got the characters mixed up, I guess. Whoops. Well, to all the people being nice about it and kindly letting me know, thank you very much!

To all the people being dicks about it (concerningly a lot of you it seems ಠ_ಠ), maybe learn a bit of humility. Some people mix up similar-looking characters in their heads. It's a thing that happens.

I'm well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.

I've heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I'm unsure how well it'd run under Wine.

I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it's not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.

Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I'm still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I'm not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)
