    Sorry, but NO. Scribus is a page layout app. It is not intended for image creation/manipulation. That is truly using a shoe for hammer, or a hammer for a screwdriver or a screwdriver for a butter knife.

    You can use Word for page layout or image manipulation too. Again, screwdriver for a butter knife. Right tool for the job and all.

    My totally unscientific opinion (with a double-your-money-back guarantee!):

    I'm not crazy about either Flatpak or Snap for that matter as there's so much backend baggage for both as well as certain hurdles regarding privileges and access to the file system (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong or working with dated information.)

    My other completely prejudiced, unfounded bias against Flatpak is that it appears to have been adopted by RedHat as "the one true way," and what with IBM's/RedHat's behaviour anti-FOSS behaviour lately, plus I've almost always have been an apt user, I find it a pill hard to swallow.

    Me, say what you will about the security issues and its other flaws, but I like AppImage.

    Dearest ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝,

    Yes, I was the other admin @ lemmy.film, "second in command" if you will. No, I have no insights regarding what happened over there as it wasn't my server/instance. You nailed the timeline of events; after many attempts to contact @jayrod@lemmy.film, just like all of you, one day I went to lemmy.film only to see that Cloudflare "Web server is down" page. Hey, fun while it lasted and all that.

    If I may (now that you've woken me up), I think it's kind of...dickish uncool...for this community to steal appropriate the graphics from !moviesandtv@lemmy.film. I mean, they weren't mine or anything but still. Grave robbing, anybody? What does it take to come up with something new?

    Your argument is suicidal with all of the forethought of a small child playing with firearms. So you do think atomic warfare is a good thing. Progress must go forward and all.

    You say you work in AI? How so?

    In any case, once all "dehumanizing jobs" are eliminated (how is driving a taxi "dehumanizing"?) and even you, as you said, are "happily" replaced, what will you do? What will be your purpose in life? Graze? Taking this idea further, why would an intelligent, homeostatic system such as future AI even support you?

    AI today — such as ChatGPT, StableDiffusion, etc. — is still a toy, again "merely" choosing the mostly correct combinations from a very large list. You should know that since you work in AI. We're still at the automaton stage. It still can't do consistent video. Hell, it still can't do hands reliably. But again, advances are rapidly being made. Baby steps towards our evolution into the Eloi.
