LinuxPhotoshop alternative for pixel graphics
  • Aseprite is purpose-built for pixel art. You can either buy it, or compile it yourself for free. I highly recommend checking it out.

  • Yep, hard links only work within the same filesystem. You can have multiple drives in raid that form a single partition and use hard links within the array.

  • Basically yes. You use *arr to find releases and make a copy with proper naming and metadata when a download finishes. On its own, that would not be great as you would double the size of everything. Except you use hard links. Those are kind of like shortcuts, but both the shortcut and original are the same thing. Both point to the same data on disk. In fact, they're indistinguishable from each other. If you delete one, the data remains as there is another link pointing to it. If you delete both, the data gets deleted. Basically they are free copies. You just have to make sure your file system supports them

    Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS
  • iPhones are really popular over there. Most people have one. For teenagers it's something ridiculous like 85% of them using an iPhone. In Europe we have a more balanced split, so only using iMessage wouldn't fly here.

    Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS
  • Google search is available on apple devices though. Same with stuff like Gmail. Imagine if YouTube didn't have an app for iOS and you had to use the browser. That would be worse for consumers, but Google could use it as a way to force people into Android. That's what Apple is doing with iMessage and the whole phone ecosystem is worse because of it, whether you care or not.

    What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?
  • I should've added patents as well. They both have a purpose, which is to compensate creators and researchers. Although I agree with that purpose, imagine how much further society could progress if we could freely build upon each others creations, as soon as they come out. I believe medicine, technology, and art would benefit immensely. The ones who benefit the most from patents and copyright are for profit corporations anyways. It seems like the whole thing works against society, rather than for it.

    zsh or fish for an intermediate Linux user?
  • Fish, it just works. Customization is super simple and has a really nice webui if you're into that sort of stuff. Plugins are easy to install with fisher. Out of the box it's very ergonomic and you don't have to deal with tons of scripts that may need debugging. Custom shell functions take 2 seconds to set up. Scripts use a shebang to specify the shell they run in, so you shouldn't have any issues with that. Whenever I absolutely need to run a command with bash, I just switch to it, do what I need to do, and hop back to fish. Highly recommend, haven't looked back since I started using it a few years ago :)
