People were very quick to declare it gone for good.

Same for me, and I use the button in my quick settings as well.

Good to know that you actually give options a try

I’m cheap and have used GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape and Paint.NET for professional work at my job (where I’m basically our one-man marketing and web department). So I’ve had to “make do” with a wide range of free software for a long time. And I may or may not have used a cracked Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator at home, also.

But man, I gotta say the quality and efficiency of my work has improved 10-fold after I bought the Affinity suite (no subscription, and its license allows me to use it commercially too, even though I bought it personally - I love that!)

I haven’t actually used 3.0 yet, but from all the screenshots I’ve seen, it looks basically the same.

Anyone who has, I have a question: Can you draw simple primitive shapes non-destructively yet (without having to open another plugin panel, select something in a very long dropdown, and filling in a bunch of parameter fields)?

PhotoGIMP is the same jank, just taped together in different locations instead. It’s very slightly better, but the actual tools and how you use them are the same. The problem seems to be that Gimp (and all the tools in it) is designed by developers.

The thing preventing me from using Gimp is the terrible UI and UX. And that situation hasn’t really changed very much in the last 15 years, either. I’m getting the feeling that Gimp is stuck as it is because the devs and current users want it like that.

Not the person you asked, but my Jellyfin is only exposed through my reverse proxy (nothing else forwarded), and I simply put Authelia in front of Jellyfin in the reverse proxy using forward_auth (not using OAuth to integrate with Jellyfin!), and that means that you have to be authenticated for any request on my jellyfin subdomain to be able to reach my Jellyfin server at all. Probably means I can’t connect via the app remotely, only via browser, but then I can just use my VPN and connect directly to the local IP.

It’s a huuuugely popular CMS used on around 40% of all websites on the internet, and it has around 70,000 plugins available of varying quality. Most exploits are from badly written plugins.

Targeting Taiwanese, Tibetans and Uyghurs, you say? I bet it was really difficult to figure out who’s behind it.

Does this site really not support HTTPS? I’m just gonna assume that the author’s views on PHP are also stuck in 2005 then, like his website.

Thanks!

I host my own Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS), but I’ve used the public instance of CommaFeed too, many years ago, before I started selfhosting.

I really like TT-RSS, especially with my own theme I made, but the container image I’m using now is outdated and has some problems, and if I want to upgrade I’ll have to switch image to the official one, and I won’t be able to simply migrate my data over, as TT-RSS has since dropped support for MySQL completely, so I’m considering just hosting Commafeed instead (since I have to start fresh anyway).

I prefer RSS readers that feel a bit like Google Reader (R.I.P. - Gone but not forgotten)

You can’t even buy working batteries for a most of the old phones I have in my drawer.

The idea is nice, but such a government program would either end up just shipping tons of broken electronics to third world countries, or spending more money testing old electronics compared to what it would cost to buy new cheap feature phones for people in those third world countries.

Learn how to use Docker. That’s gonna be a big help.

It’s a whole ordeal to get set up. There’s some plugins for Calibre, I believe one is called NoDRM and os is called De-DRM. Can’t remember which one I’m using or what the differences are.

From Google Play Books you can download the encrypted books (from the website on PC). You are supposed to use Adobe Digital Editions with your Google login to be able to read the encrypted/DRM-protected books on your PC. When you’ve set up Adobe Digital Editions, you can find a key file somewhere (can’t remember the location, you should be able to Google that) which you can use together with one of the plugins in Calibre. And that should normally be it.

That didn’t work for me though. So I found some other third party DRM removal tool, in which I logged in with my Google/Adobe Digital Editions account. It could then decrypt the books, but more importantly, it also made a key file somewhere, which i WAS able to use in Calibre. So now, with that key file, I can just drag the encrypted books directly into Calibre, and it decrypts them just fine.

It’s been several years, so I’ve probably forgotten or misremembered some details.

EDIT: By the way, there seems to be a time limit on decrypting the downloaded books, so download them from Google and decrypt them withing relatively short time (a few hours maybe, not sure). Don’t think you can just decrypt them whenever in the future.

Google Play Books, since I like their app a lot and don’t have to think about syncing across several device.

What problems are you having with it?

I buy my ebooks legally, but I also de-DRM them and keep them in Calibre. I guess that’s the least illegal way to pirate them.
