PhotoGIMP is a free, open-source patch that makes GIMP feel much more like Adobe Photoshop.

It adds Photoshop-style keyboard shortcuts, a familiar workspace layout, reorganized tools, and a refined UI—helping Photoshop users switch without losing their workflow.

A great way to ditch subscriptions while keeping powerful image editing capabilities.

Purism, @purism, launched a new #Linux laptop. The Librem 16:

A tip for users of our experimental instance mementomori.social:

You can enable the algorithmic "For you" feed from the top right corner of the Home feed. When you turn it on, it will instantly switch to a ranked feed that prioritizes posts based on who you follow, who you comment on, and what you like or boost. If you also toggle on "Include posts from people you don't follow," you'll see trending content across the Fediverse based on your interests.

Unlike Trending tab, For you -feed is personal. The logic is similar to pre-Musk Twitter but user-focused and not corporate-owned.

The Trending tab remains unchanged, and /explore shows posts from roughly the past 6-12 hours, with a strong focus on the most recent ones. A post that gets massive engagement might stick around a bit longer, but most cycle out within half a day. Your own For you page changes every time you click the menu, refresh the page, or return.

This is ongoing, experimental work. The PR draft and source code are available here: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mastodon/pull/4

haha. Joke asides, there are few ways to ignore bash aliases. For example, to ignore python alias, type the `command` followed by alias name:
```
command python ...
```
Both \ and " symbols allows you to run real python command and ignore python alias at the CLI:
```
\python ...
"python" ...
```
Or just full path:
```
/usr/bin/python ...
```

This is meme about Linux or Unix CLI especially alias feature offered by bash. An inmate in prison asks a small fellow inmate, "What you in for?" The small inmate replies that they added 'alias python=echo "bash: python: command not found"' to a friend's .bashrc file. The large inmate backs away in terror, yelling, "Dude, WTF?!"

I would just

• fetch a microcontroller
• program it
• add a micro led display matrix
• add CR2032 batteries, or
• dedicated small lipo rechargeable
• 3D print a enclosure
• get a custom made wrist band

...slap it on my wrist,  depending on the power requirements of the microcontroller

Much more niche, totally unique no need for a factory produced Gizmo

There are countless Open Source  Projects for something like this readily available
