Thanks!

I tried Pixelfed (very briefly) not so long ago. I didn’t find a propper way to search for content. How do you discover new content?

[email protected]

Yep, that’s why I added the twitter source too.

Also on twitter:

• Twitter @CommitStrip
• Nitter link

I’ve been hearing a lot about https://micro.blog recently. I haven’t tried it, or blogged in a long time.

AFAIK it supports ActivityPub.

I also found a post in one micro.blog with a few of alternatives:
TL;DR: Tumblr / Ghost / Blot / Mastodon / Write.as / Jekyll
https://book.micro.blog/alternative-platforms/
EDIT: Manton Reece is the founder and lead developer of micro.blog

A couple of tools to help finding the original sources:

• dessant/search-by-image: Browser extension for reverse image search
• SauceNAO’s “Image Search Options” addon: Firefox - Chrome
• Reverse image search engine URLs (replace XXX with the image URL):
  • Google: https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=XXXX
  • Bing: https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=XXXX
  • TinEye: https://www.tineye.com/search?url=XXXX
  • Yandex: https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=XXXX
  • SauceNAO: https://saucenao.com/search.php?url=XXXX

Also, thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] for the mentions :).

how tumblr works in terms of discovery

I really like Tumblr (mainly because RSS support), but I find their search VERY limited. Maybe I’m being stupid, but I haven’t been able to search for 2 tags at the same time (e.g.: “#artists on tumblr” and some genre “#pixelart”).

In general I find very difficult to filter repost and look for original content only.

Do you have any tips?

I watched the video yesterday and I couldn’t really understand what the plan is. What I got was something like “the corps are too big for the consumers to do anything and laws are very slow to made”.

Did I miss something about the “audacious(?)” plan?

Photoshop on WINE can be made to work, but it’s a terribly bad solution for many reasons.

May I ask the main reasons? This is probably the most important point regarding my migration to linux and I thought that Wine would be a proper solution for Photoshop.

Thanks!

I didn’t do anything special, just typed the correctly fomatted link (as yours).

It doesn’t work on bookwormstory.social either (pointed out here). Being it a new feature, bugs are expected.

Not sure if it’s a typo or a front-end rendering issue. But I see your link wrong. The correct one would be:
!pfefferle.wordpress.com@pfefferle.wordpress.com

The only working public generic mlmym instance I am aware is: https://o.opnxng.com/

From this gist by rystaf.

I’ve been waiting for years for “non-destructive edition” (AKA smart objects). It’s a fundamental feature that I use (almost?) always as a first step. IMHO a lof of professional work is not practical without it.

They had it on the roadmap (see 2020 archive) for years marked as “No[t started]”. The current roadmap looks more promising with “link layers” marked as WIP and saying it could be available on GIMP 3.0.2.

LightDM says it’s a Display Manager.

I know that naming is hard but, oh my…, terms are so confusing when you’re starting:

• Desktop Environment
• Windows Manager
• Desktop Manager
• Display Manager
• Tiling Window Manager
• Compositing Window Manager

… I’m still not sure which ones are synonyms, sub categories or independent components :/.

I’m an ultra-noob, so those who know more please correct me.

I’m playing with Linux VMs and recently I installed Debian to check it out. When it asked what DE I wanted, I chose all of them :).

The only hard conflict (AFAIK) is the [compontent / feature responsible for loging in] (I don’t know the technical term). Because each DE comes with a different one, you need to choose one.

What I found very confusing in practice is that I could see some DE apps and configuration settings from other DEs. So, unless you know what belongs to what, it’s a bit of a mess (in my VERY limited experience).

Oooh… I see. I didn’t understand how broad the Desktop Env really are. Is not that they manage “a lot of things regarding the desktop and windows”… is just like a bundle of apps.

Now it’s starting to sound like a sub-distro inside the distros, but I think this is a good point to stop bothering you. Thanks again!

So, just to check I understood:

• “[Tiling] Window Managers” are a very specific tool.
• “Desktop Environments” are broader tools that (may?) contain Window Managers.

Now… the next questions (if you have the patience :P) are:

• is is possible to use a Window Manager without a Desktop Environment?
• how does this influence your choose for the terminal emulator? Ó_ò

Thanks for the answers!
