Colombian here - as you might know, most people here are catholic.

A bit of story.

My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn't a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.

So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly "the spirits" ("las almas") came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how "the spirits" lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those "spirits".

A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.

Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.

Now I'm atheist and don't believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that "the souls" do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson's incident is true (and if "the souls" exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.

Last time I talked about Thunderbird here on Lemmy (and was downvoted because, allegedly, Thunderbird and K-9 are the exact same app, according to [email protected]), I seem to recall it was however mentioned one of the differences between the two is that Thunderbird was going to include setup for Google play subscriptions (whatever that is)...

To be fair E always had great potential (I recall reading somewhere some car makers use it in their infotainment UIs), but alas doesn't have the manpower to keep it at the same pace as some other DEs, even much newer than it. If I were Xfce and got the last straw of the GNOME-ization of GTK I'd rewrite all my shit with the E libraries - hell, it would be awesome if those two merged together.

It's been a while since I used to use Gimp una daily basis (well, since I graduated from uni, now more than 10 years ago) - and even then there was talk about Gimp 3.0 "in the works and soon to be released". That's why the 3.0 release has become like a meme.

I don't use it anymore and it's been a while too since I cared about it. But still if they're getting more developers involved it's the best improvement they can make imho, even better than any feature they can cram on it. It's not the lack of resources or the few time their devs have to work on it - it's their tribalism and ultradefensiveness to even the mildest constructive criticism.

It's utterly ridiculous they get so defensive when someone asks them about the reason you can't draw a circle or a rectangle in Gimp as easily as you can with frigging Microsoft Paint. I am yet to know the reason about that.

Last time I tried to express my views about the Gimp's UX issues at r/linux one of its devs answered almost immediately and tried to lecture me about how everything is in the source code and that they're not hiding anything and that I was trying to do FUD stuff with them. On top of that absolute nonsense, Reddit being Reddit, I ended downvoted to oblivion just because. What has that to do with being humble and accepting Gimp has plenty of room to improve? Who knows.

Hope that absurd panorama changes with new brains involved in it and Gimp can do that giant leap and keeps improving for the better because, seriously, the biggest issue with Gimp is not its lack of manpower. If you don't believe me just look at what Krita was when it was "Krayon" and shipped with Koffice, and what it is now.

I know, I don't have smartwatches whatsoever but I'd like it had an Android app and if it could integrate with Wahoo. Otherwise it seems great and even more that there is at least one completely FOSS alternative to Strava/whatever in the making.

Ain't that what edgelord "comedy" is all about, tho?

Once I read somewhere it was because it made possible for them to make phones thinner.

I remember one time at r/peloton one of those tribalistic mildly-xenophobic nutcases told me, after sharing an article in spanish which had some ambiguous word, something to the effect that "spanish is the most confusing language in the world".

Yes, that genius told that. In english.

Yes I am completely sure... Though I updated repos again and there it is now so maybe a cache thing or something like that.

Now that you're here, can I ask you how to import notes from notally? I just tried but after importing them it crashes

Can't find it on f-droid (and yes, I have the IzzyOnDroid repo enabled)

Usually such things have a simple explanation. systemd does a lot ~~with time and date, for example scheduling tasks. It's quite obvious that it has this capabilities, when you think about it.~~

Krita 5.2.5 is here, bringing over 50 bugfixes since 5.2.3 (5.2.4 was a Windows-specific hotfix). Major fixes have been done to audio playback, transform mask calculation and more!

 

The KDE community has charted its course for the coming years, focusing on three interconnected paths that converge on a single point: community. These paths aim to improve user experience, support developers, and foster community growth.

 

Just a few moments ago learned about phtn.app, as I was using photon.lemmy.world. I'm trying to use it with KDE's Falkon web browser, my daily web browser in desktop, which is based on chromium (though as far as I know it's not cutting edge chromium).

photon.lemmy.world works just fine, but I don't get to pick spanish from the available languages - while in phtn.app is there (I used Firefox's web browser to check it and learn there's quite a few differences between phtn.app and photon.lemmy.world).

The thing is that phtn.app stucks on the loading screen (the circle spinner) with Falkon. Not sure if it's Falkon being funky or there's something that could be done on phtn.app. All I can see in the web inspector is the following:

Not wanting to pull Firefox/Chrome/whatever and all their dependencies just for this, so I'd like to know if this can be addressed in phtn.app's side.

 

Sony Xperia smartphones look so good on paper. So why is it that we don't recommend them? Here's our answer to that and a brief 2023 review of the Sony Xperia 1 IV.

 

Calligra is the office and graphics suite developed by KDE and is the successor to KOffice. With some traditional parts like Kexi and Plan having an independent release schedule, this release only contains the four following components: Calligra Words: Word Processor Calligra Sheets: Spreadsheet Application Calligra Stage: Presentation Application Karbon: Vector Graphics Editor The most significant updates are that Calligra has been fully transitioned to Qt6 and KF6, along with a major overhaul of its user interface.
