I could imagine having the default options "no scale" "cover" and "contain" similar to CSS property `background-size` would be useful.
In a ideal world I wouldn't mind any of the 3 was default if nondestructive editing was already piped in. Because it's not, I typically have to keep copies of layers prior to rescale if I want to change any details and keep it looking crisp and good.
I think it's also noteworthy that Krita has `File Layers`, `Raster Layers`, `Text Layers`, in addition to `Bitmap Layers` -- I wouldn't mind loading imported layers as a kind of File Layer that can be scaled up or down and then rasterized either.
By default if I recall correctly imported layers default to having the scale/transform tool activated at a suggested size and the user can then scale up or down the layer prior to completing import so that the source image doesn't loose quality in the process.
Food for thought.

The original author of Vim, Bram Moolenaar, has passed away 😔
Vim is probably the tool that I have been using the longest and enjoyed the most. I've even swapped between operating systems but kept with Vim in a form or another. Thank you Bram.
Did you write code for #Psion machines in the #80s and #90s?
We're calling for you to open source your code!
I'm working with a group of enthusiasts, building a library of information about the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Your old code could give valuable insight, as well as encourage people to write new code.
We're especially interested in old C and #x86 #assembly.
Upload it to your public repository of choice, and set it free!

What's the context / use case?
@ClubTeleMatique
I mean that is a pretty cool idea, but I doubt the plastic used is food safe exactly.
@J12t Arch on server? Hold my beer 🍺 😎
#pixelfed is my kind of app. The only Linux distro they have specific installation instructions for is #archlinux :-)

How was it?

@thunderbird Looking foreward to the rebranding and name change someday for consistency, already #k9mail on #fdroid seems pretty functional and not as obnoxiously complicated as other options.
@RL_Dane @CleoQc @thunderbird The irony of CSD is that vertical space is only more valuable because 16:9 became standard due to TV manufacturers not wanting to have 2 sizes for manufacturing to cut costs.
When 1:1 3:2 5:4 or 16:10 was a thing having a space for a title bar wasn't a problem that needed solving.
I put up with CSD and understand it has optimal use cases such as on #linuxphone but to me 16:9 is the real problem.
Even from past use-cases such as dual or 3 monitor setups 16:9 isn't nearly as optimal as 16:10 or even 5:4 was.
Voyager 2 is temporarily out of contact with the Earth. On Friday, #NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said that commands recently sent to the distant spacecraft inadvertently caused its antenna to point two degrees from Earth. #Voyager2 thus cannot receive commands from Earth, nor can the data it transmits be received on Earth. #JPL expects the situation to resolve in October when the spacecraft performs a pre-planned reset of its primary antenna, aligning it with Earth again.
