New feature by @zemarmot in #GIMP development version (future 3.0): the program will now inhibit logout/power-off on systems which support it (usually it displays a warning allowing you to confirm the shutdown anyway or not) when there is some unsaved work.
The associated message tells you how many images have unsaved changes.

I previously covered how I use #Linux and #OpenSource software to get work done, first on elementaryOS, then on #KDE. Well, here’s the brand new edition, this time using @gnome!

I go over my laptop and my desktop setups, the extensions I use, the apps that allow me to get stuff done, and the workflow I use on each device!

After a busy week of filming with my #pcc4k and powering off of #SmallRig V Mount 99's... I'm never going back to NPF batteries! I was powered on and filming nearly all day and used only 50% charge off a single battery AND I powered an LED light panel for a while off another one! They're awesome!!

Contrary to expectations #OpenAI's #GPT4 lacks #OpenData. The company is at least open about its reasons for the reversal: a combination of profit, competition, & public safety.

"As the capabilities [to do harm] get higher it makes sense that you don’t want want to disclose them."

There's notable pushback on the safety question: "Not being able to see what data GPT-4 was trained on made it hard to know where the system could be safely used & come up with fixes"

Shamelessly reposting this because it is hilarious, but the toot making the rounds didn't bother with adding alt text.
