🚨NEW REPORT: Health insurers raked in $371 BILLION in profits since passage of the ACA, while raising family premiums to $26K a year.
More than 40% of the profit went to UnitedHealth, whose profits rose 400% as the company denies nearly 1 in 3 claims. buff.ly/3ZtqD4d

I'm opening commissions! 🌿

Hit me up for fabulous portraits. I'm also taking commercial work, so if you know someone with a book or game in need of an artist... 😏

@LPS Moving and extending the partition went fine. It won't solve the recording lag but hopefully it'll stop freezing 10 times a day. 😆
I do however have an inconsequential timelapse to show tomorrow.
Julien goes into details on the conception and functional design of Project Gold's shattered modeling and animations. The first article of a series.

@openSUSE Linux this is a question for the entire #linux community, has anyone figured out how to get #adobe functioning yet, it's literally the only software I cannot replace...for my livelihood:(

@Shrini @openSUSE Linux thx for asking, i know there are many capable replacements....the difficulty is with working on teams exchanging files etc:(
@lps no and there is no great replacements for Photoshop possibly krita since you can add the machine learning stuff, but it will never be the equivalent you want it to be unless you put in the work. 
You’re better paying for that $13 a month service that gives you photo editing, canva or something. 
Video paid daVinci resolve is the best but at the same time it’s a nightmare to install so I recommend installing it via nix pkg manager

@Yuki Linux @openSUSE Linux is there a technical reason that it can't work that someone can explain to me? I'm hoping at one point there could be an interpreter to make it work like what Value has done for gaming. Sadly when working in an environment where files are being shared on larger projects, I have no choice:(
@lps Apparently it's doable, with some workarounds and the occasional missing feature
appdb.winehq.org/objectManager…
Can't vouch for it though, I haven't used anything Adobe since CS5.

@lps If CC allows for multiple installs, you can test in a virtual machine…
I used PS (well, camera raw really) in Wine; was a bit of a hassle to set up but worked reasonably well. Then again, Wine has improved enormously over the last few years but it'll always be an uphill battle to keep up with modern software, so YMMV.
An alternative would be to keep the old win10 license for a virtual machine that you use exclusively for Adobe®™ stuff.

There used to be these few strange CDs, free to download and then burn yourself.
With software that bore the name OpenSUSE 9.0. Crazy cool.
And the foundation stone for W2K being my last Windows and me not even installing MS products in a VM.
So this Windows 10 is an update of W2K and has a built-in split-view for the file-manager?

As usual these are PeerTube accounts but you can follow and interact with them entirely within Mastodon etc.

While I love the recent Bluesky rally, I also want to remind everyone that Mastodon is the only major social media that is properly decentralized, billionaire-proof and VC-free for now. I get that most people couldn't care less about protocols, but if you do, I recommend maintaining a presence here :)

@singe Totally. And even if some future VC were to offer Eugen a truckload of $$ (I think he's mentioned being approached by certain money-having parties and turning them down), but even if he were to take it, the larger Fediverse would live on through the variety of forks and other AP-compatible platforms out there. This is the place to be for sure 😄👍
Mastodon shouldn't be resting on its laurels though. Needs many improvements urgently:
- multiple domains per instance
- support for all #ActivityPub object types, event if minimal
- support math notation
- simpler tech stack for smaller instances (solid_queue etc)
- Better support for alternative user interfaces (eg: Whalebird which emulates Slack/Discord and Elk that emulates Twitter)

And one step back, Akkoma doesn't want to implement multiple domains per instance. Worse, a single dev closed the issue without any discussions of pros and cons, indicating that it's mostly a single-person project. 🫤
@ubuntu recently gave me the opportunity to present at #UbuntuSummit. If you want kick the creative software subscription habit 🗑️ and learn how @freehive is able using 100% #FOSS 🚀, the presentation is live! youtube.com/watch?v=OXocCVpVwU…
You'll get to see how @Blender @inkscape @GIMP and more are part of what I call the #CreativeFreedomSuite. Spread the word and go create something amazing!

@travisj What I would suggest is getting comfortable with Inkscape and when you need the color accuracy that Scribus will give you, then export a PDF and import it into Scribus. There you can go to Edit > Colors and Fills and replace the RGB colors with the CMYK colors you want. @doctormo is working on CMYK in Inkscape. When he is done, you may not find you need to use Scribus as much. This is how I used Scribus for a couple years until I got more comfortable with its quirks.
@travisj If you are not aiming for specific CMYK colors, but just need to satisfy the printer, you can also run a Ghostscript command like this on a PDF you create in Inkscape:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o output.pdf -sProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK input.pdf
It will do a bunch of auto conversions, so it's kind of a roll of the dice, but it checks the CMYK box if necessary. I have done this on pretty large projects where the brand colors weren't specific.
@travisj That's just an example, you'll want to fine-tune such a command to suit your purposes. Take note that with this method your RGB black is going to turn into 0 0 0 100 CMYK, rather than a rich black like 60 40 40 100, so it won't be super dark.
I don't now how far you are into your career, so pardon me if you know this stuff already know.
In short, there's not a simple solution quite yet, but it's very doable.
These are great suggestions, thank you. I've honestly never tried making a table in Inkscape but now I'll have to try it (and the Ghostscript CMYK conversion). I personally don't mind Affinity Publisher, but I was trained in InDesign during my Diploma so it's close. Scribus is just lagging behind in some features (but modifying the XML directly is cool though). I'm impressed with how far Inkscape has come in the last 5-10 years, when CMYK conversion happens it'll be even better.
@travisj I can't say Inkscape is great at tables, but it's less infuriating to fake it 😉
I'm hoping Scribus will have its moment. Print hasn't died and I don't think it ever will. With your background you may even have some ideas to share. I don't know anyone on that team, but they do exist!
