  4. The Programmer’s Fulcrum 30 October, 2026

    This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum. Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum. It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism. IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno […]

  6. Extremely disappointed by Canva

    If you still work in the #commercialprinter industry (I feel sorry for you) there is a software that, I bet, all the #prepress and #press folks hate the most and it is called #Canva.

    Now I learned about it because my kids must use it since elementary (yes, it is an indoctrination) besides that others disgusting software (in terms of UX/UI) called #GoogleClassroom. I have never used Canva, for me this is software, is simply a design application that cannot produce correct PDF. Period.

    Unfortunately seems it is become the standard design software, and non-professional folks, believe it so. As any other tool when in the hands of a pro can do decent output however has a great, very great limitation.

    This is not limited to Canva, it is a general problem, but it affects the most Canva and any other software to do graphic stuff. HTML, CSS and Javascript are very nice to build fancy UI as long as you don't touch anything, when you start touching the underneath components, and I am specifically talking about fonts systems and fonts applications, you break everything. This shouldn't happen, never.

    So my daughter prepare its Canva presentation on her laptop, and for some reason we ended up finishing my job on my laptop (both use Devuan); however my laptop is ultra customized with fonts size comfortably for a senile man and the presentation my daughter was working on was completely screwed up.

    I was completely astonished, what the hell, that a software change its internal fonts representation cause I modified some shit in Firefox? No way! This is totally wrong, this is bullshit!

    The web technology is so unreliable in terms of UI/UX and standard, replicabile, environment that I cursed the day I thought how nice have these software on a browser so you can work ubiquitously. Shame on me!

    And poor these boys and girls that must deal with this crap because their teachers do not accept anything else. I understand the convenience for an elementary student, but I receive tons of PDF to print in thousand of copy made out that crap. So depressing.

    A graphic software must behave like #Inkscape, for instance, it shouldn't change the internal representations of fonts: if a font is set to 20pt it must 20pt it cannot become huge because I am using 120% fonts increasing, or because I changed my Desktop theme, etc. I don't want to say that it is unacceptable, because I dislike the abuse of that word, but a serious software behave differently.

    If these are the limitations of the web technology, than you can't build serious applications with web technology, them aren't resilient and are easy to screw up, are convenient but can be never considered professionals.

    Use the right local tools build with the right technology made to adapt to different screens and resolutions that do not change for silly reasons. Learn how to use #Gimp, #Scribus, #Inkscape, #Friction, #LibreOffice, work on your computer and enjoy a predictable environment that doesn't change from computer to computer and doesn't break you work.

    Be mindful! 🙏

  7. @Ryanowl I totally understand. I have at home two devices with #linuxmint and at work pc with w11 and #adobe. But at work I use Inkscape for vector design, cause for me it is easier to use. I tried vibe coded app from #artcraft like #photocraft on linux but still it is alpha. I am classy and use #photopea #figma #inkscape #gimp #scribus #davinciresolve or #kdenlive

  8. I wanted to create a new build of my tabletop #roleplaying book,¹ but #scribus no longer built due to a poppler update.

    So I ended up packaging patches for scribus:

    codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/1

    ¹ 1w6.org/deutsch/downloads

  9. #scribus on #guix needs help from someone with non-rusty C++ skills: :`no known conversion for argument 4 from ‘PDFRectangle*’ to ‘const PDFRectangle&’` ⇒ codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/

    Would be great if you could lend a hand!

  10. LibreOffice Rescues Microsoft Users With Abandoned PUB Files

    Microsoft’s exit from desktop publishing puts decades of documents at risk. Free software offers a path forward.

    「Microsoft Publisher」がついにサポート終了、残されたPUBファイルに「LibreOffice」が救いの手 - やじうまの杜 - 窓の杜 forest.watch.impress.co.jp/doc?

  12. Rescues Users With Abandoned PUB Files
    users joined the millions of users who have been abandoned. Microsoft suggests converting PUB files to PDF format for viewing and printing, and to DOCX format for editing. In reality, neither of these represents a solution to the problem.
    Document Liberation Project have reverse-engineered it and created the libmspub library, which is used by LibreOffice and to import files.

  13. RE: reseauculture.fr/@cinemistral/

    I'm relaying this French job offer: Ciné Mistral is looking for a freelance graphist using only Free/Libre and Open Source software (Scribus, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender...), Region: Haute Provence/PACA.

    #gimp #inkscape #blender #scribus

  14. @kdkorte It's ideal even for 'self-employed' or 'single worker' enterprises. I switched to Linux and FOSS at home while I had an office job using Windows, MS Office, Adobe & Quark. So when my side-hustle became my job I was already familiar with all the software I needed, without spending a single penny. #Linux #LibreOffice #Inkscape #GIMP #Scribus #GnuCash #Firefox #Thunderbird

  15. Happy with almost empty fruitbowl after 3,5 hours of vivid discussions spurred from #DocumentLiberationProject opening hosting at @fripost event for #FreeSoftwareDay
