Jami ftw 💪

News like this accelerates loss of faith in our failed political and economic orthodoxy, so in a way I’m glad to see it.

It’s time now for a new and genuine progressive movement to come together and take the fight to Reform. I’ve signed up to the new Sultana/Corbyn/independent party but I would also recommend supporting a Green party under Zack Polanski, independent candidates who want to collaborate, and grassroots community projects.

Others analysis may differ but mine is that ‘the left’ is starting to pull together and we should get behind it.

It may be worth seeing if you have a firmware update available for your device. I had some lid/sleep/wake issues on my new laptop until I installed an update.

I can’t wait to switch from Fedora Debian 13 :)

Your timing is excellent: Debian 13 is due for release on Saturday :)

I could be wrong but I suspect the problem is with exporting as .jpg, although GIMP might be able to prevent the problem with the right export settings. I’ve experienced similar in the past, with .png too iirc.

You could try reopening the exported jpg in GIMP, lowering the saturation (merge to layer, rather than as an fx layer of course), and then choosing overwrite instead of save or export. A bit cumbersome but may get the job done.

A good person to ask could be @CmykStudent@fosstodon.org on Mastodon. I think he’s one of the GIMP developers who works on colour.

Good one, especially for hikers and sailors 👍

Speed cameras are very common in the UK and while they don’t eliminate speeding altogether, they are effective.

Apart from the risk of either a fine, doing a ‘speed awareness’ course or losing your license, it also means that people who are driving too fast regardless are more likely to simply get stuck behind other drivers who are observing the speed limit.

Also have a look at Jami. You can use it for calls and sharing files.

I have a smartphone and a small dumbphone - one for work stuff and one for play. I have glued velcro to the backs of them, so they can be like one phone in my pocket. Ultimate flexibility.

I’m really happy to have an account here. I was on lemm.ee until it disappeared recently and while there I always found slrpnk communities and users to be the most inspirational and worthwhile reason to use the Lemmy platform, and indeed the internet. Doing a lot of good

Welcome :)

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m doing at the moment (haven’t quite got to door-to-door though - maybe it will come to that). Those are some good ideas for locations for placing ads - thanks. I’m out of that headspace and need to get back in it!

I can’t help noticing how much work is coming in to my peers from instagram though. I’m getting the impression that it has become the standard medium/conduit for professionals.

Last time Ilooked they had something called Nextpush or somesuch. Is it that or something new?

Me too. I’m sure it’s fine but someone should pop a message to the developers about it.

You should be able to do it via USB too if you allow data transfer in USB settings on Android when you plug it into your Debian machine. Also Syncthing. I’ve been doing it these ways for years. No hacking needed.

I use Musify from F-droid for what your describing.

To be honest though I only really listen to my offline collection and radio/internet radio for discovering new music.

Check out The Indie Beat. It’s an internet radio station playing music from artists on the Fediverse, like Radio Free Fedi used to. All my favourite discoveries from the last couple of years have been by or via Fedi artists.

Looks good 👍
