This app even can do proper hard shadows in vector format no less. Something Adobe Illustrator has failed to do (without bending over backwards) for thirtynine years!This will actually be useful to me!

This car is going to be fantastic for people who run over cliffs alot
I often have difficulties when trying to install .ttc's on Windows 11. I don't know why.
The Vectrex was the first games console I ever tried. My parents could not afford one so I never got one...until a couple of years ago when I won an online action. It's amazing and the new developed products for it makes it even more amazing.
I recently started using fossify's photos app to get away from this popup annoyance! The app SO DESPERATELY wants to backup my photos that the app is no longer usable.

It seems they chose the Fiskars Axe, good choice I own five of them.

Re:Inkscape 1.4.4 on Thursday May 07, 2026 @04:01AM (#48046701)
I use 0.92 for extracting HPGL data from cutting machine software and converting it to better vector formats sometimes. I use that version because I think HPGL support was removed in newer versions. Inkscape is a great program, keep up the good work. Kind Regards A user

I attended a lecture of his once. One of the topics was emailing biological viruses. Svante Pääbo was there too.
The tar ointment I bought in Mariehamn is fantastic for healing small infected cuts and bruises. Highly recommend.

I loved that they changed the ending. I did not like the ending in the book.
Graphic designer here. A font recognition ai is sorley needed. Gemini and its competitors flat out lie when asked and Adobe Illustrators Retype is laughably bad. The problem I face almost every day is not to find a close match but to find the actual font in use, commercial or not.

There are great CRT-shaders these day that would remedy this.
As understand it the battery is 26 Ah and looks to be the size of my 20 mAh powerpack at home.

Re:Warcraft III Peon Voice Notifications for Claude Code on Thursday February 12, 2026 @04:40AM (#46986717)
I would like WOPR's voice from Wargames.
My Outlander rarely needed repairs and I always plugged it in. The car even complained about me needing to use the gazoline in the tank because it risked getting old in the tank and needed to be replaced. That was a great car. My new EV, a Subaru Solterra is great too though.

The German philosophy is also very much prevalent in Sweden.

Re:Pinball Brothers – A Swedish-Italian Pinball Company on Wednesday April 09, 2025 @01:29AM (#43629159)
I had no idea they existed until this morning. They are sadly being hit hard by tariffs as reported by Swedish media.
Re:Blocking the telemetry of Adobe apps on Friday February 07, 2025 @04:14AM (#42970796)
I don't think anyone in their right mind has ever trusted Adobe, they were like this in the 80's too.

Thank you, I'll check it out.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that they had hired Elop and was concentrating on Windows phones. I immediately knew that was the end. Unbelievably incompetent by the board.
