Foss app for adding speech bubbles to images?

Preferably something that doesn't require login or registration. An online app would work too, I suppose.

Github Bounties?

I have a couple github issues that have been hanging out for more than several months. I'd like to incentivize them with a bounty to get a solution sooner than later. Has anyone tried Boss Bounty or something similar?

Boss Bounty looks like the most robust solution, but I'm not a fan of their 8% cut. That said, I don't know how you do something like this without a middle-man. If anyone has any first hand experience with something like this, I'd love to hear about it.

  • While the meta key is well documented, the meh key is vaguely mentioned in multiple modern split keyboards such as ZSA keyboards and the Kinesis Advantage.

  • I'm seeing super, hyper, and meta on the Space-Cadet, but no meh.

  • Thanks for the reply! That would be good info to include in the future wiki. Still curious if this key originated with some 1970s era keyboard or if it came from something more modern.

    What's the history of the "meh" key?

    Well bite my shiny metal ass - how is there no wikipedia entry for "meh key"? They have alt key, control key, and even super key, but no meh key. I'm curious if the meh key came from a specific keyboard or what the origins are.

    I made a thing - NixOS updates module for Waybar

    This is my first FOSS code project. If anyone has any constructive suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

    https://github.com/guttermonk/waybar-nixos-updates

  • I did both - I have steam and steam-run in environment.systemPackages and I have packages.steam.enable = true;

    Here's my hardware config:

     undefined
        
      hardware = {
        bluetooth.enable = true; # enables support for Bluetooth
        bluetooth.powerOnBoot = true; # powers up the default Bluetooth controller on boot
        opengl = {
          enable = true;
          extraPackages = with pkgs; [
            intel-media-driver # LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
            intel-media-sdk
            intel-vaapi-driver # For older processors. LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
            vaapiIntel
            vaapiVdpau
            libvdpau-va-gl
          ];
        };
        pulseaudio = {
          enable = true;
          support32Bit = true;
          extraConfig = "load-module module-combine-sink";
        };
        xpadneo.enable = true;
      };
    
      
  • It's a 2013 macbook air, which is weird because when I had OSX installed it played Stardew fine.

  • Just tried GE-Proton-9-9 and the play button goes to "stop" and then right back to "play". I tried launching from terminal using nix-shell and steam-run so I could see the error messages when it crashes. Thanks for looking at your setup to see what was going on.

  • Apparently, I'm not the only one. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/help-running-stardew-valley-in-nixos/48574

    How do you avoid those errors?

  • Some games don't work, despite what ProtonDB says, such as Stardew Valley.

  • Honest quetion, how/where are drivers license photos saved? Is saving photos at the state level more or less secure than saving at the federal level? Also, the TSA supposedly just uses scans to speed up and more accurately verify, and claims not to save the scans (for now). If they wanted a database of everyone's face scan, couldn't they just subpoena every state's DMV/tag-agency for license photos?

  • Another okay option I just stumbled on is Viewnior. The only thing it lacks is webp file support.

  • Thanks for confirming that you're seeing the same thing. Must be a bug.

  • Ahh that's good to know. I had no idea about libadwaita. Thank you!

  • I navigated to my screenshot folder in terminal and opened an image using swayimg -r but it wouldn't let me navigate with n or p. I also tried going to my Pictures folder and used swayimg Screenshots/* like this thread suggested, but still no luck.

  • Unfortunately, --all isn't an option. The following options are available in swayimg:

     undefined
        
    Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
      -r, --recursive      read directories recursively
      -o, --order=ORDER    set sort order for image list: none/[alpha]/random
      -s, --scale=SCALE    set initial image scale: [optimal]/fit/width/height/fill/real
      -l, --slideshow      activate slideshow mode on startup
      -f, --fullscreen     show image in full screen mode
      -p, --position=POS   set window position [parent]/X,Y
      -g, --size=SIZE      set window size: [parent]/image/W,H
      -a, --class=NAME     set window class/app_id
      -c, --config=S.K=V   set configuration parameter: section.key=value
      -v, --version        print version info and exit
      -h, --help           print this help and exit
    
      
  • If that let's you flip between images that are in the same folder using arrow keys (or something similar), that would be awesome.

  • Gwenview looks a little too full featured, but the Gnome Image Viewer (Loupe) works well. No dependencies needed in Nix, and the arrow keys let you flip between different images that are in the same folder. All of the on-screen functionality works (copy, move to trash, zoom in/out, toggle full-screen, etc.), and keyboard shortcuts and gestures work great. The only bug I have to work out is that it doesn't respect the gtk theme I have configured (GTK 2, 3, and 4). Otherwise, seems like a good option.

  • Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I'm using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn't sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

  • I like how it supports animated webp and gif files right out of the box. Would be perfect if you could open images from the file manager and navigate, but it doesn't look like that's in the works.

  • Can you open animated gifs in imv? I just get a black screen, but the home page says animated gifs are supported.

  • Doesn't look like Hyperion is open source :(

    Until there's a FOSS version of Nova, I guess I'll keep using Nova and have my firewall block its outgoing traffic.

    Is there an image viewer like nsxiv, but with native Wayland support?

    codeberg.org Wayland Support?

    I know the project name clearly states `x` in it. But then also is it possible to have a proper Wayland support using nsxiv on xwayland if fine, but few key maps fails to work and was looking forward to `nsiv` as this will make it the image viewer of choice on Wayland.

    Wayland Support?

    According to this issue, it looks like there are no plans, understandably, for making a version/fork of nsxiv but with native Wayland support.

    Any recommendations for a simple image viewer in Hyprland?

    Synology Drive debug messages

    Synology drive doesn't start on boot even though I have it in my bash script like all my other startup programs which load fine. I get the following debug messages when I run synology-drive from terminal:

     undefined
        
    debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_app_path"
    debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_data_path"
    debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_working_dir_path"
    debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_drive_ui_path"
    QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
        Available styles: Windows, Fusion
    
    
      

    Mynixos.com doesn't say that I need to include anything special in my configuration.nix file for the synology-drive-client. What am I doing wrong? Are these debug message related to why it's not loading on startup?

    Does the legacy of AppOutlet live on?

    I noticed the AppOutlet repo has been archived, but I really liked the idea of one store to rule them all (I.e. snaps, appimages, flatpaks, etc. in one place).

    Any current recommendations for an alternative?

    Anyone migrate from PlayerPro to a FOSS alternative?

    Looking for a music player that will do a good job of loading album art. It all looks great in PlayerPro, but I tried Auxio and Aplayer but they didn't do a great job of pulling in the album art. Tracks were also incorrectly lumped together with mixed albums/artists.

    Any recommendations?

    Voice Input Privacy Concerns on GrapheneOS?

    Any privacy concerns with using the futo-whisper open source voice library?

    I was able to add their apk repo to Droidify, but am hesitant to install Futo Voice Input. Although it looks like it integrates nicely with OpenBoard.

    The other option is to install Sayboard, which works with the native Graphene keyboard. Although OpenBoard with Futo Voice looks like a more streamlined experience, IMHO.

    Any thoughts on privacy here?

    ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app

    Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app.

    I heard the Phillips Hue works well but I'd like to be able to install and configure the bulbs with Home Assistant (or another open source app at a minimum). Any suggestions?

    Recommendations for the best, low-heat, GPU with ray-tracing in 2023?

    I have a Nvidia TitanX in my HTPC, which is known for its high heat output, and it keeps overheating when I play 3D games. The case has two intake fans on one side and two exhaust fans on the other, but lacks ventilation on the top panel. I'm tired of the random shutdowns during game play and was wondering if anyone had any recommemdations for a more efficient GPU.

    Retro quick access on GrapheneOS???

    Yo how'd our hommie sideofburritos get old school quick access on GrapheneOS? Is this just an old version? The video's only a year old! So I'm on GOS Android 13 (aka big dumb quick access button purgatory), totally confused and totally jealous. I can only imagine an out of touch board testing a new android version and telling the developers to make the buttons bigger and dumber while they tell their managers "okay, we can do that" while they die a little inside. This is the most egregious design offense committed in the history of AOSP.

    Please tell me this can be fixed with System UI Tuner or some other bullshit that doesn't kill my battery life or privacy.

    Best VOIP service and FOSS app combo on GrapheneOS in 2023?

    Currently looking at:

    • jmp.chat with the Cheogram app - at $3 a month for each number, it's a little pricey.
    • VoIP.ms with either the linphone app or one of the other FOSS apps in their softphones list - $0.85 a month but calls and messages are a la carte, which is not my favorite but it's less expensive.

    I know a lot of people like using MySudo or Grandstream, but I'd like to keep it FOSS and not reliant on google play services if possible. Battery considerations are also a plus.

    So what are you using and would you recommend it?

    Credit card round-ups to buy stocks?

    Like Peter Lynch says, invest in what you know. It would be cool if your round-up could buy a fractional share of whatever business you shopped at. If that company isn't publicly traded, you could set a stock for it to default to.

    So if I go to Chipotle, my round-up goes to a fractional share of Chipotle. If I go to my favorite local hole in the wall, my round-up would go to a fractional share of $SPY or whatever I set my default to.

    I know Cash App and the Robinhood Cash Card both have round-ups to buy stock, but they only buy one stock. Anyone know a card that's more inline with what I want?
