Bitcoin Price Below $90K: A Healthy Correction or Brewing Trouble?

Bitcoin price’s recent dip below $90,000 has everyone in finance talking, especially since it happened after the Federal Reserve decided to cut interest rates for the third time this year. Usually, when the Fed makes it easier to borrow...

TIL about adw-gtk3 an unofficial GTK3 port of libadwaita.
It's a theme usuable for many DE and can make your GIMP look very nice too

GIMP uses GEGL. I will briefly quote; I want you to seek GEGL data yourself at their site. It's a wonderful architecture
Quote
GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a data flow based image processing framework, providing floating point processing and non-destructive image processing capabilities to GNU Image Manipulation Program and other projects (imgflo, GNOME Photos, iconographer, …)
GIMP site also has interviews with the programmers. Go and seek

GIMP v3.04
It was this early morning, when I tried to fire up GIMP, I noticed that I had forgotten to install this magnificent gfx tool kit.
I ran apt install gimp immediately
I've been using GIMP ever since it came out, decades ago (spawn 1995). Even though the UI was totally different from what I was used to, adaptation was fast and my fluency in use of GIMP increased fast. I like working in GIMP
The GIMP is 31 years old
Quote
In 1995, Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis began developing GIMP as a semester project at University of California, Berkeley for the eXperimental Computing Facility.[8] The software was originally named the General Image Manipulation Program
GIMP v0.54 was first released in 1996
Over the decades I've seen a lot of users emitting futile complaints about the GUI, the use of many windows / viewports, while I can easily transition from closed source software on client's machines, to the GIMP, just by switching the mindset regarding the UI. The logic behind UI decisions is easily traceable.
GIMP has so many functions, I know of nobody who knows how to use all of them.
You should learn what you need to do, get fluent into those tasks, and learn more when you need more. This mind set also works in VIM, which has a massive ammount of functions and commands to make not only your programming in different languages more pleasant, it also has subtle assist functions which makes your source entries even more enjoyable.
GIMP always gives me consistent performance and I can rely on the keyboard shortcuts without having to use the mouse to select functions brushes, et all.
GIMP is for me a must have in my photo correction work flow. I've never relied on closed source software for those tasks, GIMP always has similar functions, many working even more efficient with your computer's CPU / GPU resources.
For the Love of GIMP
next section moved to seperate toot
Note:
I've always known that Open Source programs can be trusted better than closed source equivalents, something you all know when it comes down to the big photo manupilation suite, which enshittifies everything for its paying users.
GIMP shall always have its users back
You can trust GIMP

ＡＩ絵生成の弱点
ＡＩ絵生成ソフトの一番の欠陥は基礎を完全無視していきなり絵事態を塗り始める事に有る。だからこそうあれ程不安定で処理ミスが多い。

Weaknesses of AI image generation
The biggest flaw in AI image generation software is that it completely ignores the basics and just starts coloring the picture itself.

Найбільша вада програмного забезпечення для створення мистецтва штучного інтелекту полягає в тому, що воно повністю ігнорує основи та переходить безпосередньо до розфарбовування самого зображення.

I gave Ars Technica the benefit of the doubt and put their half-assed, opaque response down to it happening outside of work hours. With Monday being a holiday, I gave them another day to post a proper response.
They didn't.
So I #cancelled my Ars subscription, and wrote them again. If you have an #Ars subscription and care at all about transparency in journalism, or about the ethics of undisclosed use of "AI" / LLMs in *writing* said #journalism, I encourage you to do the same.
My message today:
> [...] The article contained fabricated quotes from Shambaugh and was itself obviously the product
> of an LLM.
>
> I said that if you did not publish a proper correction, with full transparency about how your editorial
> standards were violated and what you were going to do to prevent this sort of ethical and journalistic
> lapse from reoccurring, I would cancel my subscription. A proper correction involves leaving the
> original text intact (so that the error can be seen) and adding a prominent notice of what was wrong,
> and what the correct version is.
>
> You have chosen not to do this. Instead, the original article was silently yanked, and you posted a
> mealy-mouthed half-admission of what happened, with no transparency into what part of your
> processes failed, who was responsible, or what is being done to prevent this from happening again.
>
> I have thus cancelled my subscription.

We try to make virtues of the faults we do not wish to correct.

It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
Kindness is invincible, if it be sincere and not hypocritical or a mere facade. For what can the most insulting of people do to you if you are consistently kind to him, and, when the occasion allows, gently advise him and quietly put him on the proper course at the very time when he is attempting to do you a mischief. “No, my son, we were born for something other than this; it is not I who am harmed, it is you, my son, who are causing harm to yourself.”
[τὸ εὐμενὲς ἀνίκητον, ἐὰν γνήσιον ᾖ καὶ μὴ σεσηρὸς μηδὲ ὑπόκρισις. τί γάρ σοι ποιήσει ὁ ὑβριστικώτατος, ἐὰν διατελῇς εὐμενὴς αὐτῷ καί, εἰ οὕτως ἔτυχε, πρᾴως παραινῇς καὶ μεταδιδάσκῃς εὐσχολῶν παῤ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖνον τὸν καιρὸν ὅτε κακοποιεῖν σε ἐπιχειρεῖ: ῾μή, τέκνον: πρὸς ἄλλο πεφύκαμεν. ἐγὼ μὲν οὐ μὴ βλαβῶ, σὺ δὲ βλάπτῃ, τέκνον.᾿]
Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Hard (1997 ed.)]
