At a bare minimum, it would be nice for users to tag their projects accordingly. You could, with a glance, realize there wouldn’t be a point in investing your time/energy into a project that the creator had less investment in, themselves.

More like “and Krita and Blender” perhaps

Right. The article is about loss of contracts, it seems more than reasonable to include a perfunctory explanation about how those contracts came about to begin with.

Have you considered an alternative to the browser as a PDF reader?

I like this one, it’s plenty quick, and it doesn’t sit atop a whole web browser. (For desktops, I use SumatraPDF which is similarly snappy.)

Hmm.

“Fascism in your technology is inevitable”

This announcement will make YouTuber Markiplier $24,225,000 richer.

As part of the deal, the company’s shareholders will receive a $285 million cash payment, or $1.14 per share, and the stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq.

One of the shareholders benefiting most from the news is Youtuber Markiplier, who acquired a massive 8.5% stake, according to a July 13 filing. Private equity firm BlackRock also disclosed a 6.4% stake earlier this summer.

“GIMP can technically do this” should be its tagline.

That’s how I felt when I discovered non-destructive layer transformations are (technically) possible

Two thoughts based on what you wrote:

There’s a bit of an issue with that. Re-Centralization. If the grand majority of users are in the “Main” or “Primary” instance, it’s just moving one mass from one to another, without spread…

I think it’s plenty fine to recommend a specific instance to people. It doesn’t need to be the main one either, it can even be yours:

Does the Fediverse have an equivalent to matrix.to?

Not really. Probably because Matrix can “get away with” recommending some default software (including web apps) to view a community from any server, regardless of where it is, mostly because there’s very few instances of that software to recommend. Matrix.to is a first-class service provided by the same people who run the flagship Element client and develop the server too, after all. And it’s still limited: matrix.to will not point you towards a niche instance of Element, for example.

But things get worse when it comes to Mastodon and Lemmy because usually instances tend to act as both data servers and clients. If somebody sends their profile link to a friend, it goes to their server. People have implemented sharing techniques, but these are janky at best, and require extra configuration and pre-knowledge on the part of the recipient.

And I still don’t know how to open a post from a different Lemmy instance on my current one without manually looking for the community and then the post.
