Three other family members and myself have at almost the same time and for completely different reasons became interested in or needed to become acquainted with image art of some form.

I wanted to find "The Tutorial" to share with everyone so we could relate bettter.

Is there any way I can convert my PDF into a dark mode version without converting it into images first and invert that image and combine them, instead simply invert every element in the PDF and make it dark (preserving the original text and hyperlinks). appreciate any help!

We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.

Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.

The strenghts doesn't lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.

And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.

Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.

Hi all,

Before write what I am about to write, I would like to be clear that this is a very controversial topic and, for the eyes of many of you, this will be even silly.

I also know that open source means "open for everyone", and any conditional to that automatically makes a piece of software non-open source.

I really feel pissed off to see such effort for brilliant people from open source community being used for terrible things. So I started to nurture the idea of a license that would forbid the usage of a project by totalitarian governments, including its department and contractors, military forces of any country, certain entities like radical political parties, etc. Basically limiting the usage of those projects to any activity promoting human suffering.

Do you guys think that this is utopic? Does it really hurt the essence of open source? Do you think in the same way about this, and if yes, how do you cope with that?

For those unfamiliar, Windhawk is a GPLv3 program that makes it easier to customize Windows, such as modifying the start menu, changing the UI/UX, among other things. I personally got it to reduce the size of the task bar on a laptop with a small screen and it worked great.

The author addresses the issue.

The world has been gripped by the case of Australian woman Erin Patterson, who was charged with the murder of three people after allegedly serving them a lunch of beef wellington containing poisonous death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides).

A new element of the sensational story emerged in court this week, when prosecutors reportedly alleged Patterson used iNaturalist to locate and visit places where death cap mushrooms were known to grow.

Hello.

I'm considering to start working on some interactive roadmaps to learn the skills necessary for political organizing, union organizing and so on. The format is ideally similar to roadmap.sh, giving a high-level overview of what a certain area of knowledge is, where it sits in the scheme of things and what to learn first.roadmap.sh itself is open source and has an editor, but the license is weird and I'm not sure I want to rely on it.

At the same time, tools like Miro, Mural, or Figma have little interactivity and would hinder future collaboration. Mermaid is collaborative, but not interactive. Before committing to a compromise, I would like to ask if you know any better option similar to roadmap.sh but with more freedom for independent creators. If it's self-hosted, even better. Mind mapping tools with the right level of customization might also be an option if you know any that can be bent into looking like a roadmap.

PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of ActivityPub and P2P protocols.

Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube platform because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.

If you are curious about PeerTube, we can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find a platform available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube platform on your own server.

The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!

If you want to contribute to PeerTube, feel free to:

• Report bugs and give your feedback on Github or on our forums
• Submit your brillant ideas on our Feedback platform
• Help to translate the software, following the contributing guide
• Make a donation to help to pay bills inbound in the development of PeerTube.

I want to replace Google Play Services already on my SSG. Just wondering if there's an app that will push all the notifications...

I moved away from MS Windows a long while back and have ported everything EXCEPT presentations. I still use a friend's laptop just for PowerPoint.

I have used LibreOffice Impress and it is quite poor in design and the templates are very unprofessional.

I have used LaTeX beamer a lot and I am now tired of fighting it to make simple transitions look good, quickly customise a slide, etc.

Are there alternatives that I can use which are libre friendly as well as user-friendly?

Is there a good OS app to keep track of nutrition and weight? Starting ketogenic diet in 2 weeks. Been there, done that, so I know what I’m doing, but I used to keep track on my iphone, but now that I switched over to GrapheneOS and OpenSuse I’m a little bit lost in the Opensource sea.

After about 3 years since the last stable release, Deluge version 2.2.0 is available for download.

These days, qBittorrent seems to be the most popular torrent client in Open Source and Linux communities, but I thought it's worth mentioning the news on this long lived FOSS alternative.

Recently I quit Strava and started using OsmAnd to do my routing and also recording of bike trips.

I can store and view the tracks fine, but the interface really is just for viewing single tracks. I would like to organize my recorded trips a little better, in a fashion that e.g. Strava allows:

• add some meta information
• compare tracks and all the related info
• extract some further data from the tracks and compare them (something like "your fastest 2k")

Is something like this out there? (I did not deep dive into GPX itself, maybe I am looking for something that is not even in the data)

A read-only demo of Sriracha's output is available. Screenshots of the management panel are also available in the demo.

Sriracha allows anyone to host an imageboard or forum using Go.

Sriracha has full support for custom templating. Standard .gohtml templates are included, and site owners may specify a directory where any custom templates of the same name will override included templates.

Sriracha makes use of Go's plugin support to implement a plugin system. This allows site owners to customize their installations without making changes to Sriracha itself.

I created Sriracha not only out of curiosity, but also to provide a modern upgrade path for everyone using TinyIB, one of several imageboard systems I have created.
