I feel like too many are gatekeeping art. Like being creative is for everyone. There are so many forms of art that don't get recognized when people do it. If you do your own makeup you're doing art.

This repository includes a GIMP plugin for communication with a stable-diffusion server and a Google colab notebook for running the server.

The server exposes a REST API, which is used by the GIMP plugin to communicate with the server. Currently the plugin offers the possibility to use img2img. img2img means, that you create an image in GIMP, which is then used as the base for the image creation in stable-diffusion.

Digital Restriction Management (or short #DRM) is preventing us from harnessing the true potential of digital media. It enforces artificial scarcity for the sake of upholding outdated business-models. A better world is possible. Lets build it together. Let's abandon technology which is #DefectiveByDesign

Dear #UXDesigner

With the news about #Figma (yah!) being bought by Adobe (booo!), you're probably starting to worry - nooo, please don't make #FigmaAdobe.

You've heard about @penpotapp@twitter.com. It's #OpenSource? What's open source?

It's a philisophy -

https://bit.ly/3DsXTzh

and if you're affected, PLEASE check out PenPot, it's a very very very good free software alternative!

(using it for all my professional UI work for ~1 year, and am a very happy user)

Sometimes I feel like a curmudgeon for sticking to free software tools, and Figma was a hit even among the open source design crowd.

Full solidarity to the design colleagues who will now have enough anxiety about how far their workflows will be screwed.

That said, this is why you can't compromise: there are no "nice" flavors of proprietary software (remember Minecraft).

A lot of work which takes me away from code, but also wildly interesting.

Also a lot of thanks to @patdavid who is helping me on the styling side (while I handle the contents), with #pixlsus theming code, and Robin Swift for triggering the whole port (which had been planned for a while but on the backlog until now) and helping us with data moving.

Looking for an open source project to control Canon cameras over WiFi.

#Canon #cameras can be controlled through USB with #GPhoto2 but as far as I know there is no possibility to do the same via #WiFi.
Has anyone seen a project to do this or has anyone ever written to Canon if there is at least an API documentation?

Please boost if possible!

2016: I installed #Linux for the first time

2018: #RawTherapee replaces #Lightroom and Linux is from now on my only OS

2019: My #Android phone is now #Google free. In August I ordered a #Librem5

2020: I decide to write my own photography planning app because this is the only Android app I use where no Linux alternative exists

2021: #GTK4 is released and I started with the development of the current app

2022: #PicPlanner Version 0.1.0 is released on #Flathub 🥳

« Until now, #GIMP was only officially distributed for #Windows as an installer provided on our download page. In particular, the GIMP team never distributed it via the Microsoft Store. This changes today ! » https://www.gimp.org/news/2022/06/18/gimp-2-10-32-on-microsoft-store/

I've released DNGLab 0.5 today: https://github.com/dnglab/dnglab/releases/tag/v0.5.0

Many many more cameras supported, check it out.

SCAM: Lightmoon IS NOT Kdenlive. Lightmoon is MALWARE.

https://kdenlive.org/en/2022/06/scam-lightmoon-is-not-kdenlive-lightmoon-is-malware/

We have been notified of a site that is using Kdenlive's name and likeness to distribute malware to users. We will not be linking to the site to avoid accidental downloads, but if a search lands you on a site offering "lightmoon", "a free video editor" that looks in the screenshots identical to Kdenlive, this is malware.
