Inkscape is great software but hoo boy would it be cool to have a native Cocoa version instead of having to use XQuartz

saved from trying to update Inkscape via Homebrew by the next train not having wifi

me: hey how do I make a symmetrical shape in Inkscape
internet: there's "mirror path" in Inkscape 0.92
me: hey Inkscape what's your version
Inkscape: 0.91 lol

The Worst of Both Worlds™️

introducing a new Qt-GTK hybrid:

gosh I should get back into messing with Linux on a Desktop or Laptop

Mozilla has a pretty cool app (as some kind of preview? idk I just found it in the Play Store), it's called ScreenshotGo and it runs OCR on screenshots to make them full-text searchable and to allow you to copy text! Might help with those image descriptions 🙂

though skipping videos with the bumpers is annoying af, It's way too easy to… bump into them on accident

I really appreciate the Switch as a portable Youtube tablet that leaves me free to use my phone for other things

huh, Kindle replacement screens are cheap-ish on AliExpress, I wonder how hard they are to drive. Might be cheaper to just get an old Kindle and hack it

I wish large (≥A4) epaper displays weren't so expensive, they'd be perfect to display stuff like a calendar on the wall… I'll have to look into those electronic price tags at some point, they look promising

Does anyone know how Linus Torvalds is doing these days? Last thing I heard was that he promised to stop being an asshat

Sony released a nice video for the Walkman 40th anniversary which features some beautiful devices https://youtu.be/YH2T94XWqck

also their weird way too expensive audiophile mp3 player lol

does anyone have a third-party switch-compatible controller with a decent D-Pad? I've been thinking about getting one of the 8bitdo SNES-like ones for Mario Maker, because I can't stand the Joy-con D-Pad or the one on the Pro controller

@zoe hey sorry to bother you even more, but I cant seem to trigger the thwomp on the second ju

CW: music memes (but the originals are really good too so you can listen to those instead)

Now that SMM2 is out it might be a good time to point out how great Mario music is, take for example this SMW music: https://youtu.be/rEcOzjg7vBU

or this great track from SM64, which is also in the game (look in the sounds and you can add it to any stage!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrCLBuf0Yec
