Theizestooke··on Writing a Gimp 3.0 Plugin
They could start with a name change.
Theizestooke··on Bacteria (and Their Metabolites) and Depression
That's interesting. I always get a bout of depression when the weather changes drastically (increase in temp, drop in pressure). I noticed that when I'm able to poop again, afterwards it starts to get better. Maybe I need to take stuff to speed up digestion?
Theizestooke··on The KDE desktop gets an overhaul with Plasma 6
I don't know, I'm not really impressed by their mail-client or their calendar software. Lots of room for improvement, but then again there's already Thunderbird.
Theizestooke··on On the dimensionality of spacetime (1997) [pdf]
Bartini the aircraft designer? I'd like to read more about that, but most of the Bartini-related stuff is about airplanes.
Theizestooke··on Sounds of Cologne – The WDR Studio for Electronic Music
Yes, it was a way for western powers to show their support of free speech and liberal values. Now that the communist block is gone, there is less incentive to support the arts and claim cultural victory.
Theizestooke··on Fracking for Europe [video]
They're fine with subsidies when it suits them.
Theizestooke··on German Autobahn speed limit would bring €1bn in benefits
Back in the 90s, I went for 215 KM/h with a Audi 100, but found it too exhausting. Everything goes so fast, and you have to be super-aware at all times. I doubt I drove more than 5 minutes at that speed.
Theizestooke··on GIMP 3.0 has a release schedule
You forgot a favorite reply to criticism of open source projects, namely "If you don't like it, fix it yourself, here's the code." In the past I felt that daring to criticise Gimp was equivalent to criticising the idea of Open Source itself.
Theizestooke··on Kenichi Shinohara's pixel art Ukiyo-e (1987)
Yeah, in Germany you had Happy Computer as well as 64er with monthly (or was it weekly?) listings of games and utilities.
Theizestooke··on YouTube TV, which costs $73 a month, agrees to end "$600 less than cable" ads
What is questionable about TLDR News?
Theizestooke··on The Barbie-Oppenheimer Double Feature Is Happening, Data Shows
The amount of marketing money that gets pumped into promotion for these two is impressive, apparently the movie industry is hurting more than I knew.
Theizestooke··on A curated list of Emacs Lisp development resources
Every link just reloads the site. For me, at least.
Theizestooke··on Ubuntu 22.10 Kinetic Kudu
The only reason I still use Ubuntu is that their font smoothing is superior to everyone else straight out of the box. I tried to recreate the steps on Fedora, but couldn't come close.
Theizestooke··on My Trip to Space Filled Me with Overwhelming Sadness
Social media has caused a lot of people to shift their world views, and re-examine their identities. Not necessarily in ways that benefit themselves or society.
Theizestooke··on WordPress’ market share is shrinking
There's also a plugin for Wordpress (SimplyStatic, I believe) that creates a static copy of your site. I use it in conjuction with bitbucket and netlify, and it works quite well.
Theizestooke··on Meat Loaf, 'Bat Out Of Hell' singer, has died at 74
I think he was an abuse victim, so that might be related.
Theizestooke··on E.O. Wilson has died
Both scenarios would cause upheaval, and I'm not sure what he means by a "rich state of equilibrium".
Theizestooke··on Interview with Frank Herbert and His Wife Beverly Herbert (1969)
Thanks for your work, didn't mean to sound negative. Wasn't aware it's such a rare book.
Theizestooke··on Interview with Frank Herbert and His Wife Beverly Herbert (1969)
I found a digital copy that's probably converted scanned pages, better than nothing.
Theizestooke··on Interview with Frank Herbert and His Wife Beverly Herbert (1969)
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately hard to find a copy I just found out.
Theizestooke··on Twitter starts to require login to view tweets
I'm using old.reddit.com, and it's ok. Shame if they would turn that off though.
Theizestooke··on An impersonator issued a fake Reddit take down notice against SaveVideo
The niche subreddits are still valuable to me, particularly stuff like r/emacs and r/AskHistorians
Theizestooke··on To boost your intelligence, learn how to self-soothe
Twenty years ago I heard stories about people taking Piracetam, but afaik it's for Alzheimer patients and not healthy individuals looking to boost their intelligence.
Theizestooke··on Hackers used Slack to break into EA Games
Just ask the girl scouts in your area.
Theizestooke··on Vivaldi 4.0
Does it have the ability to containerize websites, like Firefox does?
Theizestooke··on AI ethics research conference suspends Google sponsorship
Yeah, it was a PR move.
Theizestooke··on Terraria on Stadia cancelled after developer's Google account gets locked
This is true, I bought a .club domain and had to realise that some providers classify it as spam.
Theizestooke··on German police take down 'world's largest darknet marketplace'
My country declared them illegal a couple years ago, so I went on Ebay and ordered one from the Netherlands. Slovenia is an option too, I think.
Theizestooke··on Pierre Cardin has died
Deutsche Welle is a german public broadcasting corporation, I strongly doubt they'd pull anything fishy.
Theizestooke··on Reasons to prefer Linux over Windows (2014)
Agree 100%. Lack of industry standards was the problem for Desktop Linux 20 years ago, and still is today. Come to think of it, the biggest alternatives like GIMP and Libre Office (Star Office) were already present in the 90s.
