Got my little feature I stayed up too late last night merged into #inkscape Hurrah.
It's mostly useful for CnC and Sewing pattern type work and I'm interested in those users testing it out. @Triffen was this one of your use cases?
inkscape
Wanted: An @inkscape plug-in or tool or something that will tell me the angles of a path.
I can do it with the ruler tool and a bunch of careful clicking, but its a bit of a faff and I have to do a bunch of math as it only seems to measure angles from horizontal.
Does such a thing exist?

Tools which helped me to do this:
Pencil2D for scratching ✏️
InkScape for contouring 🖊️
GIMP for combining this to GIF animation 🏃♂️

If you've got elements that need to remain the same throughout your #Inkscape design, consider "cloning" them rather than duplicating them. When the original object is modified, all its clones are as well, making it easy to keep elements consistent. https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cloning-objects.html

Har brugt noget af ugen på at designe et klistermærke (først i hånden og så i #inkscape ) da jeg synes, emnet er ekstra relevant i disse uger op til valget.

Mostly talking about libnrtype being unchained from the rest of inkscape so it can be unit tested properly. But also the jobs thing, which you all will have seen.

A título informativo deciros que inkscape no tiene absolutamente nada que envidiar a herramientas privativas, al contrario, es una delicia de usar.

Hi folks! ✌️ I have a couple of news about the game about the bird Birdy 🐦📰
I've add Jorik 🐧 to "Walking through street" mini-game, and changed the Birdy's hair color.
The new version you can already download from the Birdy's Codeberg page 🏔️👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Birdy-wants-crisps/releases/tag/v1.4.2
And also, I upload it to my website soon.
See you soon! 😉👋

Discussions continue in our #AI policy discussion. But I'm reaching my own conclusions on the ethics. Which has always been the main driver of why I contribute to Free Software.
What good is productivity on the backs of bad morals?
![Thanks cfcurtis, we can actually see from the Blender discussion above that the major issues are not technical, but political and deeply involve the reputation of the project. This is why this issue is for the PLC and not for the dev team itself.
There is a political message being presented when an organisation like Fedora or Blender states that they are neutral on the behaviour of contributors. If all of our contributors were nasty racists, but hid it, would we make a document saying that racists are welcome to contribute as long as they disclose what kind of racist they are? They're going to be racists anyway, and the "cat is out of the bag" and new developers might not want to contributor to an anti-racist project so we better just say it's ok.
This might sound absurd, that a social bigotry can't possibly relate to a technology; but all speech is political. Even what we say through the technology we make and how we make it. These generative tools as they stand today are anti-social, anti-democratic and anti-worker in ways that cause just as much harm as bigotries and other things we forbid. The only difference is that their harms are hidden from us, they effect people out there in the wide world and not our friends here inside the project. Is that enough? ...

I also a little bit changed the codebase of Birdy 🐦, and cut it on about 50 lines. Because now he use abstract classes for definition the mini-games logic.
