Can someone make a real open source svg/vector #editor. Something like affinity design, but runs on all operating systems. OSX #Linux windows. That does not use #GTK because every GTK app is not suited for real work when you wanna get stuff done I’m sorry I need menus lists and dropdowns no hamburger trash plz.
#krita #gimp #inkscape #pinta #karbon none of these fill the void at least with vector editing, & having sensible key bindings. I would be more than happy to pay for the application. 

Purely selfish reasons for not using "AI" in your dev tools unless you're running your own LLM locally:

* more latency than templates/autocomplete/IntelliSense™ due to the network and cloud
* DOSing yourself with API limits, cloud host down, or when you have no network

That's going to drive you nuts when you're finally in the flow zone.

Second son has captured an instance of his mother the #editor not being her usual serious-person self.

I saw a #vaporwave grid and wondered how to recreate it in a #photo #editor. I think this came out pretty good. What are your thoughts?

I just heard from @sascharode1986, the developer of SDF Modeler, that he'll be working on a macOS version.

SDF Modeler is already available for free for Windows and #Linux.

As far as I'm concerned, SDF Modeler is one of the best SDF 3D tools around at the moment, featuring advanced options like nested shapes and a path-tracing renderer.

I'm looking for a Markdown editor that I can use to write my blog posts. It should be nice to look at, of course support Markdown (and possibly dialects of it), offer a preview and otherwise just work well.

Linux support is necessary and it would be nice if it wasn't another Electron app.

Maybe one of you has a recommendation.

Dear #emacs users,

I am trying to re-learn emacs after using #vim for several years.

One thing that I really liked in vim is that I can "reformat" long lines in a #markdown file by marking the lines (VISUAL mode) and then hitting "gq". This kept the markdown format, e.g. lists are still lists, but the lines are wrapped at whatever I set as the maximum line length.

It seems I am missing the right search terms because I only find "M-q" aka fill-paragraph, but this does not respect e.g. markdown lists.

Does anyone have pointers or search terms for me?

I don’t know about you but I THINK Percy might want attention right now.

'When commissioning non-fiction, it always used to be that you looked for expertise… but increasingly what is valued more is profile.'

An anonymous #editor lets rip on the fact-checking furore:

#WritersCoffeeClub A friend of mine is looking for an #Editor to look over her collection of #Poetry and #CreatuveNonfiction. Any recommendations?

I never have to guess where Percy is because she’s always in front of the heater.

I haven’t heard anyone at work mention the Emacs editor during the last, I dunno, ten (?) years. Today, anyone who isn’t using Vi, or a derivative, seems to be using some GUI editor or other. I was never an Emacs user myself but I’m a bit baffled by how it seems to have just ceased to be a viable option with my colleagues nowadays. #editor #emacs

People ask why I use Neovim.
It's because of amazing plugins like this

Our era is defined by the rise of #socialmedia and the death of print #journalism

The #newspapers still around have been taken over by vulture #capitalism and the managing #editor offices now shill the #propaganda agenda of #plutocracy

I don't have to describe social media's role in creating our age unless you've been living under a rock

What we need are #nonprofit #news orgs

On #decentralized social #media

Problem is, this is a big ask

But we have to do it

Now

True Story, bruh:

Back in the 90's people would go on about how superior emacs is as an editor. And some cheerleaders would hound me about why I "still" used (and still do today) vi... vim actually. Even for doing things like Usenet news, and the email client. Joe was in a lot of email readers, which is pretty much slobberproof, BUT...

My answer was and still is simple. I hack and break things for a living. I've never seen emacs installed on a bridge, router, or frankly any other network device. Hell, when the web came around, emacs was only rarely on those servers, either. But ed and vi is (was?) on pretty much all of them.

So that's what I learned. And my personal ecosystem and workflow is all about vi(m) and nothing about emacs.

Even though I'm a Lisp cheerleader, lol.

Do I hate emacs? No, but I do very much dislike the overpowering smell of religion that seems permeate it's very existence, like those dirty air lines fuming from the Peanuts character Pigpen.

Some call me a space cowboy. Some call me a gangsta of #Lisp

#Emacs wird 2025 vierzig!

Der #Editor #GNU #Emacs wird 2025 vierzig Jahr alt. Ein paar Notizen dazu und warum man ihn immer noch verwenden kann.

Obwohl die Wurzeln des Editors Emacs sogar bis in die 1970er Jahre zurückreichen, erschien die erste verbreitete Version des im Wesentlichen von Richard Stallman entwickelten GNU-Emacs im Jahr 1985. Stallman blieb bis 2008 alleiniger Maintainer von Emacs und ist bis heute offiziell ein Co-Maintainer geblieben.
