I would love to know how you get on with this.

The people who make writefreely are saying that they are working on making image uploads possible for self-hosted instances, not just their own at write.as. Currently if you are self-hosting you can insert an image but it must be hosted elsewhere and inserted via a markdown link.

Oh OK, that makes sense - you're talking about clones right? I thought you were saying that they don't even come out the same species 🤣

When we about 10 my friend and I learnt to speak backslang for this very purpose.

Incredibly, it turned out that the teacher had learnt how to speak it too.

Wild maple trees for example do not grow true from seed.

How do they reproduce?

There are different ideas about the purpose of imprisonment but the ones I'm aware of are exclusion, deterrence, punishment and rehabilitation. The second two are predicated on prison being worse than freedom, which obviously doesn't hold for people in a lot of situations. In fact I've heard of people comitting minor crimes so they can be let into prison.

Unless prisons can get really good at rehabilitation then the only way they can be effective is if life outside of prison is healthy and prosperous.

I hear that jobs in astronomy don't pay like they used to.

Nobody who hung out with Epstein should be in important jobs because a) they were abusing underage girls and b) Epstein was producing kompromat by filming/photographing it, turning all these people into Russian assets. That goes for Trump too btw.

This looks a lot like Writefreely.

And you would be able to see blog posts in a fediverse feed and subscribe to a blog that way.

Plus, it takes time to have a political impact. If you are burnt out from just getting by you're basically not going to do it. One of the main reasons that rich people have more influence is because they are paying other people to clean and maintain their stuff, cook their meals and mind their children. They have time on their hands, and headspace.

 

Just saw on Mastodon that the Resynthesizer plugin will be ready to use with GIMP 3.0

Along with other third-party plugins developed for GIMP, like G'MIC and BIMP, Resynthesizer is so integral to our workflows that it's easy to forget that it's not part of the core project.

 

I often want to read output from the terminal from the beginning but by default I have to scroll back up. This can be laborious when there is a lot of text. Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks :)

 

Does anyone know if it's possible to get desktop notifications when a new post is discovered by Newsboat from a given RSS feed?

 

This figure is extrapolated from responses to a Harvard survey and consists of financial contributions as well as employees labour.

This is just organisations. It makes me wonder what the rough overall value would be if it included the labour of non-affiliated volunteers.

 

If I'm in a room with people I know and I plan to leave the room for a long time, I tell them where I'm going. If it's for a short time I do not.

What (if anything) is an appropriate time scale to leave a room without announcing when/if you'll be back?

 

"The trial comes amid mounting evidence to suggest that giving money to those who need it is a surprisingly effective solution to poverty."

 

Does anyone know of an open source rhyming dictionary for Linux, Android or both?

I'm aware of Debian's reputation for not having the most up-to-date software in its repository but have just noticed that Thunderbird is on its current version. Which makes me ask:

When does Debian update a package? And how does it decide when to?

I'm particularly interested in when it will make available the upcoming major release of GIMP to 3.0.

If I want to install and use a different desktop environment than came with my distro, what (if any) problems can I expect to encounter?

I currently use Debian with GNOME and I want an optimised system for music production and graphic design. As far as I can tell, the two main options I have are to make some tweaks to my current system's configuration (rt kernel, swap use, cpu behaviour and others) or to switch to a dedicated media distro which is configured already. The creative distros that I like the look of don't use GNOME though.

Which option will be easiest for me?
