#quarkxpress — Public Fediverse posts

This year, #Microsoft will be sunsetting #Publisher in favor of #WinWord . I don't mind letting them believe their own lies about how #MSWord is a #DTP tool for professionals. But I need options that will work on #Debian #Linux . Options other than #LibreOffice because that's too expansive. I just need a proper DTP tool with the ease of #QuarkXPress . Suggestions, please!

🚨 SHOCKER: #Macs use resource forks! 🚨 Apparently, in 2025, we're still writing about the groundbreaking idea that apps don't run on a command line anymore. 💾 Meanwhile, #QuarkXPress version 4 called and wants its cutting-edge revelations back. 😂

Hat vielleicht jemand von Euch Interesse am vhs-Online-Kurs "Desktop-Publishing mit Scribus" teilzunehmen?

​:blobfoxcomputer:​ Der Kurs soll am nächsten Dienstag 14.10., 9-16 Uhr online stattfinden. Ich wurde nun allerdings informiert, das noch eine Anmeldung fehlt, damit der Kurs stattfinden kann...

#Scribus ist eine FOSS -Alternative zu Adobe Indesign bzw. QuarkXPress für Seiten-Layout und Desktop-Publishing. Es gibt Versionen für #Windows, #MacOS, #Linux u.v.m.

...sicher braucht man für die grundlegenden Schritte nicht unbedingt einen Kurs, aber so macht m.E.n. der Einstieg mehr Spaß und es gibt individuelle Beratung durch die Kursleitung...

Wow, #Microsoft is killing #Publisher... Again. At least where I used to live, you couldn't get it for years, between 1993 and 2007. The transition to #QuarkXPress was brutally painful. 😖 One of the most uncomfortable apps for me I've ever used.

I know it can do wonders, but it's hard for me to like something that's being forced on me.

I was glad to see Publisher back as part of #Office, although I never used it again.

Seems it's time to say goodbye to another piece of my youth. 👋

Hey umm... I wonder if #DesktopPublishing even still exists, as such...

I worked in print for a few years when young and straddled the switch from paste-up and PMTs to #QuarkXPress #Photoshop etc.

As such, I am great with Quark and I genuinely cannot deal with Word or Libreoffice Write, the workflow is all completely bonkers to my "Put this here on the page" brain.

Needless to say, Quark not on Linux. What should I use instead?

Change is fast and slow at the same time. It's crazy to me when I remember how much technology changed in the newsroom before I finally tapped out. And how few people it took to run a newspaper by the end.

After a few tries I was able to fully print from Quark XPress to the ImageWriter II over #AppleTalk with the #AirTalk from the #PocketChip! It wasn’t quick but it worked!

Uh boy. At one point, #QuarkXPress was the unrivalled king in the publishing industry.

These days, it’s merely a punchline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAk9SZ9yrMY

Anyone former #QuarkXpress users find the alien monster Easter egg? Scared the crap out of me the first time. I was like, oh shit I thought Macs couldn't get viruses?! I thought it was funny though, once I figured it out.

Hey #Pete , wherever you are and whoever you are, happy holidays, man.
Still spinning this (on a CD player) 23 years later, so thanks. Love the #TomWaits "Silent Night!"
Here's to the good ol' #QuarkXPress days and anonymous friendships!
