Take me to the angels, baby!

I just played around with it some more, and I am disappointed. I cannot get it to add the outline on the outside of the word, which is what I want to do 95% of the time. Hopefully that will be added as an option or something in a future update, but for now, I’ll just stick with using a drop shadow filter to outline things.

Perhaps give the AppImage a try, if you want to play with that new feature now

It’s not just GitHub. Gitlab, Forgejo, etc., they all have releases hidden in a rather small tab instead of in a big obvious place where one might expect to see them.

Are you using the Flatpak like the person who opened that issue? Just curious if that has anything to do with it

My technique was to add a drop shadow like what I described here, which works great and takes only a few keystrokes, but this way seems much smarter.

EDIT: This new outline functionality does seem to be limited to just the text tool, so I will keep using this drop shadow technique when I need to outline some other arbitrary non-text layer. It is more nondestructive than the select/grow/stroke/merge technique, taking advantage of the fact that filters are nondestructive now.

Unrelated: GIMP has a simple straightforward outline option on the text tool now?!

EDIT: It seems to have been added in 3.0. I am surprised I am only now finding this

Making pro-quality text got easier, too. Style your text, apply outlines, shadows, bevels, and more, and you can still edit your text, change font and size, and even tweak the style settings.

They sure use that portmanteau throughout the making-of video!

For anyone who cares, I do not recommend Thunder at the moment for PieFed. It is my favorite Lemmy client and it is definitely the main way that I use both Lemmy/PieFed, but the PieFed support is currently in beta and buggy. But once PieFed support is in the official build, I expect it will be an easy recommendation from me. The beta is just not great for PieFed at the time of writing.

I see they have an RSS feed for their torrents. Do any other Linux distributions do that? Having my torrent client automatically add all new torrents for a distro seems like a neat way to make a small contribution.

What’s a humor?

Tell me more about this Star Trek that we are to never talk about

I thought I had read the entire search page! Neat, thanks.

Is there currently a way for me to force an on-demand pull in Piefed as a basic user?

What happens if that remote post/comment has not made its way to my instance? One of the things I like about Lemmy is that if a remote post/comment is not federated to me, I can just search its URL in my instance’s search box. If that remote instance is not blocked or anything, my instance should be able to find and federate that post/comment.

Well, don’t leave us hanging! What was the result?

But when the Fediverse needed him most, he vanished

That is what happens to me just about any time someone mentions an American celebrity who was relevant before 2013. I just think, “Oh, that person that they mentioned on 30 Rock that one time!”

This account was last seen two weeks ago. Still a long time for this user, I think

If I’m not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they’re pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

Jellyfin forked from Emby in 2018 when Emby chose to switch to a closed-source model. Because of this, there are many similarities, but the projects continue to become increasingly different from one another as time goes on.
