How to speak Linux [Ed: she actually means GNU]
I didn’t even stop to imagine that people pronounced Linux commands differently until many years ago when I heard a co-worker use the word “vie” (as in "The teams will vie for the title") for what I’d always pronounced “vee I.” It was a moment I’ll never forget.

Ksnip And Flameshot: Qt5 Shutter Screenshot Tool Alternatives
Shutter is a great application for taking screenshots in Linux, but it has only received bug fixes for years. The application continues to use Gtk+ 2 and doesn't seem to be getting anywhere as far as Gtk+ 3 is concerned.
Furthermore, the Shutter image editor (which allows adding text, annotations, etc.) now requires installing old libraries to get it to work in recent Linux distributions.
This article presents 2 Shutter alternatives for taking screenshots on Linux desktops, that are actively developed: Ksnip and Flameshot. Both applications use Qt 5.
As a side note, I considered the following features to be required in order to compete with Shutter: the ability to upload an image directly from the screenshot tool to some image host, and support for drawing / annotations.

FOSS game community slump and question about getting images in palepeli
There is a thread in freegamedev.net which I have been following for the past few weeks.
In the back-and-forth argument, there I believe most of the arguments shared were somewhat wrong.
While we have AAA projects like 0ad and others, the mainstay of our games should be ones which doesn’t need any high-quality textures and still does the work.
I have been looking at a Let’s play playlist of an indie gem called ‘Dead in Vinland’
