Alternatives for Photoshop?


Hello fediverse penguins!

Being in Linux for 2+ years, I have found alternative solutions for the apps I used on windows. But I can't find something like Photoshop.

I started using Krita, which is amazing and does lots of things I do, but the text editor when I try to resize text, it just ruins it and gets blurry sometimes.
Then I found inkscape, which was good for, text and everything else worked fine, but not much of photo editor.

So what next? any recommendations ?

I also use kdenlive for video editing, and rawtherapee for DSLR photos editing.

There are ways to bypass some of the issues. But for me, what works the best, is to get used to use the tool that fits the job best, and sometimes that's two or three tools for the same project. It's exactly if I do some woodwork (carpenter work), I might use both a saw, a hammer, a chisel, a drill and a screwdriver... It really doesn't bother me, to use more apps to create something I'm satisfied with. :-)

Inkscape, Gimp, Krita is my most used apps on Linux... :-) On SloWindows it's mostly Inkscape and Affinity...

I can recommend PhotoGIMP which makes GIMP UI fairly close to Ps.

I made a cute open-source App for learning Japanese inspired by Duolingo and Monkeytype


As someone who loves both coding and language learning (I'm learning Japanese right now), I always wished there was a free, open-source tool for learning Japanese, just like Monkeytype in the typing community.

Here's the main selling point: I added a gazillion different color themes, fonts and other crazy customization options, inspired directly by Monkeytype. Also, I made the app resemble Duolingo, as that's what I'm using to learn Japanese at the moment and it's what a lot of language learners in general are familiar with.

Miraculously, people loved the idea, and the project even managed to somehow hit 1k stars on GitHub, though I'm struggling to find long-term contributors for the app.

For anyone interested, there are a ton super simple "good first issues" to solve, for anyone who's interested in contributing: github.com/lingdojo/kana-dojo

So, why am I doing this?

Because I'm a filthy weaboo.

IDF suggests limiting humanitarian aid trucks entering Gaza


The volume of humanitarian aid trucks should be reduced from 600 to around 200 per day as part of Phase II of the US ceasefire plan, IDF sources recommended on Thursday, since pre- and post-war professional evaluations show that the Gazan population only requires 200 trucks per day.

In that light, the IDF said that almost all trucks that enter Gaza above the 200-point mark, and certainly up at levels like 600, are taken by Hamas and used to solidify its control of the Strip.

The IDF believes that although Israel was obligated to send 600 trucks per day as part of Phase I of the ceasefire in October 2025, partially to restore long-term food security and partially simply to build goodwill with the Trump administration, Phase II can and should be different.

Why do EU countries continue to support lopsided US copyright laws while the US threatens EU security?
in reply to comrade_twisty

To keep their membership in WTO. Even if the US exerts massive influence over WTO it’s still the only general trade agreement most countries recognise.

in case you didn't know, jellyfin has support for hosting your books, and if you install the OPDS plugin, any compatible reader (librera, moon+, etc.) can pull books directly off the server and open them for reading.

Calibre is much more than just a book management library, that's why people still suffer it.
