CVEs don’t get issued “resolved” statuses… They are either reserved, published, or rejected (technically NVD have a few extra for published). That’s just junk data in that tool you’re using. Use authoritative sources like cve.org or nvd.nist.gov.
You can see the CPEs on NVD and they’re old versions of Plex (and were old when the vulns were published).
You’re aware those CVEs are only relevant for ancient versions of Plex and were fixed long ago?
You’re going to need to back up your claim otherwise you might as well be lying as there’s no CVE like this I can find nor any public disclosure.
Plex have a bug bounty program and a responsive security team too.
Post your security report.
Nah practically every office uses TempleOS and Lotus720.
Come on, dude. You’re in lemmyshitpost.
Oh, I know (I am a greying wizard), but why should the editor care? In theory, it should assume XCF, with the opened JPEG as the first layer.
Instead, it’s gotchas and RTFM. Which is sadly a very poor approach when developing a tool used by creatives who are vastly less likely to RTFM than the engineers making the tool.
Manually adding alpha channels to layers… I’ve seen so many people knock their heads against GIMP because, for whatever reason, they didn’t just add the channel by default. (Okay, sure it’s probably the default if you’re starting with a blank file but the background layer doesn’t have one and if you start by opening a jpg, then subsequent layers won’t have alpha because… reasons…)
I don’t think it’s because they don’t have UX designers, it’s because they only solicit feedback from existing users rather than researching new user experience and watching how a new user gets on with the program.
I also think very few Adobe or Affinity power users get stuck into GIMP etc because they bounce off it so quickly. So they never get feedback from the very users they want to convince to move over.
Inkscape and GIMP etc are fine tools in their own right (I have had them installed for years) but where things have always broken down is when you’re working in larger teams and working towards a larger goal.
Inkscape, GIMP, Krita, LibreOffice is an awful chain when you compare it to say Affinity where you can shift between vector, pixel, and layout workflows within the same tool (or copy and paste seamlessly across Adobe tools).
Until the FOSS community sits down and works with creatives and end users who don’t use the tools (which Audacity did thanks to Tantacrul and the results speak for themselves), we’ll be stuck with proprietary tools.
The problem is when new users turn up to give feedback to say Inkscape for some of their weirdness like opening a blank doc each time the app opens, different tabs for fill and stroke color, weird behavior with fonts changing when you backspace out to an empty box, blah blah, the community goes “skill issue” or “this isn’t Adobe”.
Yet they fail to understand the design decisions as to why other products have more obvious behaviour patterns - they want the tool to be relatively self explanatory and try and align to user expectations as much as possible.
Tantacrul did a great talk at FOSS Backstage Design conference that is really worth watching if you’re interested in the topic.
I have an old Brother HL-L2350DW black and white laser printer that seemingly never runs out of toner and every device I’ve ever had can print to it. It’s wireless so I think I needed avahi to discover it but I don’t remember having any issues.
Great thing about laser printers vs inkjet is you don’t have ink drying out and the long warmup and nozzle cleaning. I go months without needing to print and it’s always ready to go in a few seconds.
I hear you so hard on this one. I’ve been running Windows Enterprise with a tonne of fixes in GPOs for too many years now. I’ve been using Windows since the beginning. Thankfully I’ve also used Unix, Linux, and macOS for almost as long too.
I’m shitcanning Windows in a matter of weeks, even taking time off work to focus on it. I have one remaining Windows box (gaming workstation). But not for long.
And the crazy thing is, with the sorry state of Windows 11, my Linux systems are actually more stable.
Especially when it’s deployed in places you really don’t want immutability (which is basically most scenarios people seem to try and shoehorn it in).
I’d say the second one was even harder too.
Looks like it could be a Bushwillow. Combretum malabaricum / Malabar Madhu Malati ?

I’m a huge retro board game fan (we just called them board games back in my day) but computer games have been implementing far more complex systems, and far more systems, than board games for decades.
The Campaign for North Africa, for the board game example, isn’t exactly complicated as most of the rules are referenced as you get to the mechanic or scenario. People talk of the 200 page manual like it’s scary but D&D has more pages of rules across the PHB, DMG, and MM alone.
The “complexity” you’re talking of is basically the admin that a computer game does for you in the blink of an eye, without you needing to think about it.
Europa Universalis was a very complex board game that required 6 players and was turn based yet when it became a computer game, the complexity increased, it was made real-time, the number of events taking place across the map increased, and you could finally play it solo (sure, you can play the board game solo but you spend more time doing admin than playing). And the game has been built upon for years, the 5th one just came out.
If it spun out into a board game again, mechanics would need to be paired back again as, without the computer to ease the implementation of mechanics so the player doesn’t have to do it themselves, it’d be the most baffling rule book ever.
Again, I’m a huge fan of board games. But computer games have offered way more complexity since the 90s and Civilization.
Many libraries have expanded the materials they will lend to people; some have movies, tools, etc.
It’s a nice touch and makes your library both a pillar of community as well as adding even more reasons to frequent.
Isn’t 64bit Steam Client due to drop for Windows imminently? They end 32bit support at the start of next year supposedly.
Really well articulated.
Valve have enabled a critical mass of “target platforms” that enables both the community and developers to get things working on Linux, which all other distros are about to benefit from.
I’m likely going to buy all the new Valve hardware out of principle. The Deck is incredible, but I still have my beefy gaming rig. But my living room wouldn’t mind a Steam Machine (and my girlfriend is definitely after both a Steam Frame and Controller 2.
I’m taking time off work in a couple of weeks and I’m moving over to Linux completely - I too have felt the inertia of dual booting and find myself in Windows far too often.
If he wanted me to celebrate, he’d have made the day a public holiday.
The failure of the Steam Machine is why Valve hosted Khronos group at their office to kick off Vulkan and funded LunarG etc in the early days to get things moving quickly.
Valve took their time but this new hardware range is based on years of learning and solving the problems from their original foray into hardware and Linux for gaming.
And I’m so thankful for it!
Apple already has the Game Porting Toolkit which is made by CodeWeavers - D3DMetal can run a lot of Windows games like Proton’s DXVK/VKD3D. MoltenVK is a little behind to fully empower VKD3D on macOS; it’s not as smooth sailing as Proton.
The biggest issue is that Apple are still hoping developers spend the time to work on converting shaders to Metal, implement Game Center, UI and Accessibility features etc so the game feels like a native app.
Which is dumb. As was Metal (they should have just made Metal as a Vulkan abstraction layer).
Valve took the smart route and while they love developers using the Steam SDK, at least with the Steam Overlay they can still offer a native-like feeling experience.
Here’s hoping Steam Machine etc is incredibly disruptive as if it’s a decent workstation too, there’s a dwindling number of reasons to not use Linux (Adobe / Affinity / Office / AutoCAD / MinecraftBE / Fortnite).
