402·2 days agoThank you. Works well. I’m much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it’s helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.
I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I’ve tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here’s how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:

Free and open source ideas (#FOSI)@lemmy.ml•Toward a Truly Open‑Source PrinterEnglish
2·2 days agoAn inkjet printer is far easier to make than a laser printer. A 3D printer is about halfway there. I suspect one could source generic inkjet cartridges from China, but I’ve never looked. Paper handling is the other big puzzle piece, it’s not trivial, but there are plenty of examples for reference.

Free and open source ideas (#FOSI)@lemmy.ml•Toward a Truly Open‑Source PrinterEnglish
2·2 days agoI had a Samsung laser printer that was over 15 years old in storage in my garage. I knew it needed a new cartridge, and actually found one online for it. Fortunately, I thought to check if I could get drivers for it for Win10 before I bought the cartridge. Nope. So often, it’s lack of working drivers that trip up using older peripherals, or using them on alternative OSs.

Also, Carol put a shot gun in her golf bag and didn’t use it. Chekhov’s gun denied. For now.
I think Diabaté has the right idea. Not Vegas, necessarily, but generally just experiencing and enjoying what there is to do, now that there are no limits. Also, consider that while they “can’t pick the apple”, they seem to have no problem eating what is already picked–the warehouses full of produce. So, while the vast majority may starve, they don’t all need to die. The unconverted could band together, and do the harvesting part, which seems to be the only roadblock–keeping a small community alive as long as the unconverted live. Small tribes would probably persist, regardless.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•Got a new glasses prescription today.English
5·4 days agoDo you wear the strap around the back of the head yet? I finally decided I didn’t care what it looked like, I was just tired of losing my glasses when I was doing home improvement tasks. I’d get hot and sweaty in the summer, and whenever I looked down, my glasses would slide down, or just fall off. It’s worth never needing to push my glasses up.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What substances are the local addicts using that make them always bending over at the waist?English
25·7 days agoResearch has not yet pinpointed what exactly causes the fenty fold, as fentanyl use is not known to directly affect the spine. Instead, it’s becoming clear that it is a neuromuscular side effect of synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Studies from the Journal of Applied Physiology and the Harm Reduction Journal highlighted similar findings that fentanyl use can lead to severe and widespread muscle rigidity, particularly in the trunk muscles, which restricts respiration and affects posture and mobility.
