I get a 404 error for that non-paywall link. So here’s a mirror: https://archive.ph/MgTmM

Also I’m vaguely pissed that Musk considers Iain Banks his favourite author while managing to completely misunderstand the Culture’s values. He even named his droneships after characters from the books 🤢

Greater stability of this feature, maybe?

Lemmy may have significantly fewer features but in many ways it comes across as being significantly more polished .

Tbh that’s not surprising, looking at PieFed’s development priorities 😅 (emphasis mine)

Desired quality attributes

These attributes have been given a score out of 5 to indicate their importance.

• Performance 4/5

• Reliability 1/5

• Testability 0/5
• Modifiability 5/5
• Affordability 5/5
• Manageability 5/5

Name them please, I’m desperate for ideas here.

Not sure if these are already addressed in PyLova, but some of my PieFed pain points are the notification page UI (namely the collapsed content previews and unintuitive mark as read buttons), and the lack of proper support for emoji (no shortcode suggestions like Lemmy/GitHub/etc. has, and the manual picker is unsearchable and missing many newer ones).

yeah this may be an actual use case

Hmm thanks, but yea a word editor would probably be missing a ton of layout and image features. The closest I’ve found was Scribus but it seems pretty rough.

Yes, I tried Inkscape, but sadly found its UI very unintuitive. Also bc it only works with SVG files, it doesn’t properly support CMYK colours.

I know of Krita, but I mostly use Photoshop for image editing, not painting. And it’s the one of the three I use the rarest and has the most alternatives, so my main pain points are the other two, as long as the three programs work well together. (Which is another weakness in FLOSS software, they don’t tend to come in “suites”. Not to say that Adobe apps don’t have a ton of little inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies, but at least they can smoothly work with each other’s files.)

My main concern would be how to prevent tampering with archived pages - the owner of the second most popular site after Wayback Machine, archive.is, has been known to modify the content of archived pages for petty personal reasons. And without the sanctity of archives, the whole exercise loses its value as proof of records of the past.

software with 1:1 feature parity with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (except genAI crap)
