Start by running vim and typing :vimtutor. You might have to install the vimtutor package. Its a good way to learn. Once you’re through the vimtutor tutorial you should be good to go, you’ll get better over time. I second recommending neovim over original vim. The command is nvim to start once installed.

I’ve tried to use scribus, but the interface is pretty clunky and it doesnt react well to high-dpi screens in my experience.

I’m curious about what you think is missing from Inkscape. I use it and illustrator for design work all the time, and I’ve never run into issues with something missing from Inkscape.

Open board is unmaintained, heliboard is the fork, and has added some great features IMO.

Do you really think you could build a tower without tensile reinforcement? The hoop stress on the base of a cylindrical tower is no joke, especially when made from something as dense as concrete…

No, I forget where exactly it was, but at some point last year I was deep in Rakuten’s documentation and it referenced that the Clara HD’s OS is based on a modified Android 8 kernel.

That’s true, but I get easily more than that on my current kobo, which has a similar advertised battery life. I can get easily 5-6 days of reading 8h a day on it.

All kobos use a custom OS built on Android…8 (lol). Its not recognizable as Android, but it is the base.

Oh it should be roughly equivalent. But really, what besides a slab can you build without worrying about tension?

I can only assume they’re trying to talk about concrete 3D printing, but oh boy is that not ready for anything which needs strength.

It’s possible that there’s a reason it requires lossless audio, in that it requires uncompressed signal to work. For instance, if the ML model is trained on uncompressed data, it may need audio which has never been compressed.

Just a comment – for InDesign-type work, I find something like Inkscape (or Scribus) easier to work with than LaTeX. I usually only use LaTeX for things where the layout needs to be pretty but not customized. Its possible to use it for design, but not a good use of time.

Man, I tried to learn FreeCAD, but coming from the Inventor/Solidworks paradigm it was hard.

Yeah I remember that conspiracy theory. Iirc, the claim was basically that any company which had any relationship with any US institution must be a honeypot. It was pretty out there, and as far as I’m aware it was very much debunked.

I’m pretty sure that the Google libraries F-droid are things like the push notification service, which afaik almost anything with notifications uses, even signal.

I’ve never actually compiled from source, but AFAIK they are open source. Its been convenient to use for me, just make very sure you don’t lose your password!

That looks just enough not like comic sans to actually be pretty good.

If you’re OK with using inkscape and GIMP, if the background color is different than the chicken, you could apply a color filter to simplify the image to “chicken” and “not chicken” (basically, reduce the number of total colors to 16 or less), then use inkscape Trace Bitmap in Colors mode.

Tracing a bitmap to an SVG is really only practical if it’s a line drawing or if it has less than 16 (preferably less than 8) colors, because each color becomes a different vector object. Its really not intended for full on photos, unfortunately.

Looks like it from the readme!

They’re ways to search on a specific site from the engine’s search bar. For instance, !gsch cows will search for cows on google scholar from DuckDuckGo. I don’t know how stamdardized bangs are across engines, but they’re super useful if you use a bunch of obscure search tools on the day to day.

This is my exact situation! It’s not just uncomfortably small, either – it’s flat out unusable. I think its a hiDPI issue, but from the forum posts it sounds like its been an issue for 5-6 years. I even tried changing the QT startup settings, but no luck.

Ive used those, they all seem to be pretty similar in hardware and work fine. Might be out of the range of scaling things to a “normal” size with built in OS scaling settings, but still usable. I was expecting the color to be terrible, but in my experience it’s fine.
