I use affinity on windows to make photo books as a hobby. Scribus - the only Linux native FOSS alternative I’ve found - is stuck with the typical FOSS issues of a terrible UI, lack of modern snapping or photo importing features, and an overall lack of polish.

Do you know of any affinity alternatives for the layout tools?

    Brief scroll thru your other photo posts and I really dig your style. The strong frontal focal point with everything else being quite dark in this and the fern one makes for a really cool feel. Very direct guidance for the eyes but also gives a sense of mystery to the rest of the scene. Well done!

    Thanks! I had the privilege of learning CAD in college, and I got a second hand old ass 3D printer last year for like $180. Its a fun little thing to tinker with! Definitely has a learning curve but its not too bad. Tons of online tutorials, just a bit of an up front investment

    I designed and 3D printed an organizer for all my pour over stuff. So you see the grinder, brush, two scales, and a scoop next to all the coffee

    My espresso machine sits on the counter but I typically keep the V60 in the cabinet as well

    The nice rosewood handle bottomless portafilter was a birthday gift from a friend.

    Bird-friendly Coffee Suggestions/Discussion in c/coffee@lemmy.world
    [–] [S] 2 points 3 months ago

    I think a world without coffee is definitely one of those things we really fail to conceptualize. It feels so foreign to think an entire crop could become a luxury because our leaders continue to fail to hold big polluters accountable and in check.

    Individualistic shopping habits won't save us, but I do still wish to find one or two roasters I can really feel a little more conscience-clear shopping from.

    Bird-friendly Coffee Suggestions/Discussion (lemmy.ml)

    Coffee cultivation has quite the ecological impact, specifically on birds as it often entails deforestation for higher yields and destroys habitats. The National Smithsonian has a bird-friendly certification which comes along with a website that helps you learn more and find bird-friendly certified coffees.

    I wanted to share my own experience and ask if others had come across this and had recommendations for bird-friendly coffees that taste good.

    Living on the east coast I actually really enjoyed:

    • Rockin Cat Coffee. It tasted good, delivery times were quick which gave me confidence as to their small-batch roasting methods, and the coffee I got out of the beans was nice. I remember my favorite one being their Honduras Marcala.

    Now that I live on the west coast I've been on a search for a roaster closer to me to avoid lengthy delivery times. I've really only tried:

    • Thanksgiving Coffee. I can't give them as much praise as Rockin Cat just cause I've not tried all their roasts. I got the Guatemalan SongBird roast and it was ok. It didn't really have all the wonderful complexity and sweetness of some other single-origin non-bird-friendly roasts I've tried.

    That's all, wanted to start a conversation, get some suggestions for US West Coast-located bird friendly roasters with really good beans. If it helps, I typically switch between making espresso and pour over for my daily cup.
