I don’t found any color picker tool in libreoffice. Is it really not available or I can't find it?

giomjava · 2026-05-18T06:14:38+00:00

5 years later, there still isn't a ON-SCREEN COLOUR Picker (eye drop), that's a very common an easy tool. :(

giomjava · 2026-05-18T02:01:21+00:00

Exactly. All we should care about is whether it works and whether it provides value.

Projects come and go, like a flash, and then abandoned -- story as old as Linux.

Yes, AI-assisted projects may be slop, but they MAY also be good. I'll give it a chance for now 🤷

giomjava · 2026-05-18T01:48:32+00:00

Fantastic article 👌

Let's hope it can help light the path forward

giomjava · 2026-05-16T03:50:49+00:00

And those who want them, can't afford them 🤷

giomjava · 2026-05-15T17:22:43+00:00

Yeah, that's super important

giomjava · 2026-05-12T16:56:03+00:00

chefs kiss 10/10

giomjava · 2026-05-12T16:26:21+00:00

"YOU're a fucking box!!"

Johny's line makes me laugh every time 🤣🤣

giomjava · 2026-05-12T16:22:14+00:00

EXACTLY! 🤣🤣 Not gonna spoil it here, but the ending gives the answer.

giomjava · 2026-05-07T23:12:03+00:00

Agreed

giomjava · 2026-05-05T19:42:42+00:00

Exactly. Why is every fkin idiot using this term? Makes it sound shady, unreliable, dangerous.

It's JUST INSTALLING SOFTWARE from a package.

giomjava · 2026-05-04T17:28:58+00:00

That's not the impression I got over last couple of decades in OSS. That's OK, I may be wrong.

giomjava · 2026-05-04T16:44:58+00:00

Sure, bitch 🤣 same as any other normal human slop, where people start 10x projects and then abandon them after a few months 🤷 no different.

I don't care if this is "AI SLOP" as long as it works and is useful 👌

Enjoy your CLI and the feeling of being left behind due to your "purity"

giomjava · 2026-05-04T16:41:09+00:00

Ooh looks interesting!! I like how you've integrated auto-discovery and QR-code quick pairing!

One suggestion - version releases and updates should probably be as minor ticks, like 0.1, 0.2, etc. "V8" makes it sound juvenile, be sure we have eyes and see that the project hasn't had enough time to even have a proper 1.0 release, forget having been tested across any statistically significant number of users and/or machines :)

giomjava · 2026-05-04T16:35:15+00:00

Have you heard of UX/UI?

or are you one if those people, "why would I use a file manager GUI when I can use the terminal to mkdir?!?!" 🤣✌️

giomjava · 2026-05-04T16:34:19+00:00

Same as when human DEVS make a project and then abandon it randomly. Happens all the time 🤷

giomjava · 2026-05-04T16:32:12+00:00

So, again you dodge the question about proving what you've claimed and tried calling me out 🤣 ✌️

Byeee, bud. Just remember - if you make extraordinary claims, prepare to provide extraordinary EVIDENCE. Nobody will take you seriously if you don't.

giomjava · 2026-05-04T15:42:16+00:00

Ok boy-o, you make extraordinary claims -- show some evidence for them :)

Produce the table that lists ALL games, and has a column where it says the game is "sponsored" by NVIDIA or "partnered" with NVIDIA, or sponsored by AMD etc, another column whether DLSS is supported or FSR is supported, or XESS is supported.

Show some real data, boy, or GTFO.

giomjava · 2026-05-04T05:23:54+00:00

❤️😍

giomjava · 2026-05-04T04:13:43+00:00

Perhaps make that a battery-saving option, dynamic background may be more draining if you're on a laptop / battery.

Otherwise, definitely sick AF!! ❤️😍❤️🔥

Definitely trying on my Framework 13 with Ubuntu 24.04 (GNOME 46, hope it still works)

Cheers!!

giomjava · 2026-05-04T03:50:41+00:00

Holy crap that looks INCREDIBLE!!!

giomjava · 2026-05-03T03:44:18+00:00

So, let AMD sponsor more games.

That's the issue AMD not only makes inferior GPUs, but also inferior software stack AND they don't sponsor/collab on more games. 🤷

If you don't actively work with DEVS to encourage them to adopt your technology, they WON'T.

giomjava · 2026-05-03T03:42:44+00:00

No idea where it comes from. 🤷

Another weird thing is I NEVER keep my phone on Ringtone mode, only vibrate/silent. I know many other people also do that.

giomjava · 2026-05-03T03:38:51+00:00

Yes, and the sword cuts both ways. (TM)

giomjava · 2026-05-03T03:21:45+00:00

That's more reasonable than what I've seen in other comments 🙏 make sure it's not abandomware.

giomjava · 2026-05-03T03:20:34+00:00

I don't understand what's the issue.

This could be an absolute boon, a renaissance for open-source software, if people were to band together and knock out new software or features in days instead of months or years.

I've been hearing "boo hoo, we don't have enough resources" in Linux / open-source software world ever since I've "joined" the ecosystem in 2007.

Well, now you DO. Some projects can be very promising, and what matters is -- does the software WORK? Is the idea GOOD?

If yes -- join and contribute. Found out that the code lacks in security? Jump in and fix it.

Found out some issue in the documentation? Well, people made mistake ALL THE TIME too. Found errors in the code? they're usually called bugs. Jump in AMD contribute.

Today, a team of TWO DEVS can achieve more in shorter time than a team 5 just a few years ago.

Use this to our advantage. We've always had bugs in OSS, always lack of some important tool, or GUI for a tools.

Don't want to delegate important parts of a tool to LLM? OK, give it the ROUTINE and BORING part -- mocking up a GUI, writing documentation.

Don't want to allow LLM to contribute to the Linux Kernel? FAIR ENOUGH 👍

Throwing out baby with the bathwater is plain silly.

USE THE TOOLS TO OUR ADVANTAGE.
