Google announced that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:
- Paying a fee to Google
- Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
- Providing government identification
- Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
- Listing all current and future application identifiers

Sono quasi 24 mesi (a marzo) che non uso più PS + LR, ma soltanto Darktable e Gimp.
Devo dire che, nonostante ancora ci siano cose che non mi riescono benissimo, sto iniziando a prenderci la mano. DT è piuttosto cervellotico, non è pensato per principianti nè per fotografi che ne sanno poco di computer, ma quando inizi a conoscerlo si rivela molto, molto efficace.
Gimp ? E' un pò "indietro" rispetto a PS, ma , con un pò di lavoro, si riesce a farci di tutto. Non è così "immediato" a volte, servono dei passaggi in più e non sono sempre intuitivi; Gmic è fondamentale perchè include numerosi filtri parecchio utili, ma alla fine si riesce a farci di tutto...

What was your first Linux distro, and why did you pick it?
For me it was Fedora. I knew basically nothing about Linux at the time, but the logo just clicked 😁 It also felt more up to date and actively worked on, so I figured it was a good place to start.
What about you? 🙄

Hey everyone! Over the last few months I've been working on a lot of accessibility focused projects to do with Wayland, because a lot of the gaps just weren't getting filled. I've created an accessible waybar alternative, notification daemon, clipboard history manager, accessibility first greeter for greetd, and a lot more. Each one is designed with screen reader accessibility first, visual stuff later. You can find them here: https://github.com/destructatron

«Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'
Projects like @godotengine are being swamped by contributors who may not even understand the code they're submitting.»
The AI will still create security issues in general. Open-source software suffers from this because they are automatically exploited via AI.

The images were created with Stable Diffusion 3.5, using the text encoders:
- clip_g
- clip_l
- t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn
SD 3.5 is particularly strong in concept art, abstract ideas, and complex scenes, as it handles nested prompts very well. The multiple text encoders are needed to accurately capture different aspects of the description: clip_g and clip_l for general visual semantics and style, and t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn for complex, nested language structures.
Compared to SDXL, SD 3.5 is more experimental and geared toward creative, symbolic compositions, while SDXL is more stable with photorealism and figures.
Included: a screenshot of my ComfyUI workflow, which was used to implement the prompts in SD 3.5.

Un plugin molto interessante per Gimp 3.0 : colore medio dell'immagine.
Nella pagina linkata ci sono abbondanti spiegazioni su come installarlo e a cosa serva.
Ottimo per identificare al volo dominanti di colore, anche sullo schermo malefico di un portatile (non è calibrato, e non è granchè). Ma anche per altre cosette spiegate bene nella pagina.
