Burn the rich.

Hey! You’d better be talking about a BBQ because I was promised eating.

…our legal entity, which presents itself as an organization not connected to the Russian Federation in any way.

I hope they all turn out to be trans.

It’s true! I put a potato in my face hole and it comes out between my butt cheeks. A bit worse for wear but it doesn’t matter.

Last time (about a year ago) I looked into Misskey it was lacking some really basic features that even Misskey users were warning me about. Don’t remember what they were, but I think lacking hashtags was one of them? What’s the usability state of Misskey today?

Why do people keep saying that Snowden fled to Russia? Afaik he was on his way somewhere and had landed in Russia to get on a connecting flight when his passport was revoked, so he couldn’t leave whichever country he was in, which happened to be Russia.

If it can help them get around the censorship, absolutely.

Of course it matters. Firefox will be blocked in Russia and could be considered illegal to use within Russia. Guess why Mozilla is doing what they’re doing here. It’s better for Russians to have access to Firefox than not, and if done right it could still allow for those censorship avoiding addons in some way, which is what we all want. If Firefox is blocked and illegal in Russia, the situation for those trying to avoid the censorship would be much worse.

Instead, when a user posts something, the algorithm automatically reads the content and tags it with relevant interests so it shows up on those pages.

Motherfucker this is what hashtags are for.

One recent example is Samsung’s Bot Handy concept, which looks like a robot vacuum with a stalk on top and a single articulating arm

If they design the hand well and use good materials, and especially if it has a vacuum feature, I really wouldn’t mind a bot handy.

I pretty much blame touchscreens for the downfall of humanity. But I guess I’m not “normal”.

I remember that anticipation fondly. 😁 I watched a bunch of videos on pfSense (Lawrence Systems on YT is great, but you probably know that already) and read a bunch of things, planning out what I wanted to do before I made the leap, and it was great!

I’m running a Pentium G4560 and 8Gb of RAM in a dual NIC Shuttle case. The specs were a total gamble but I have a lot of headroom currently so if I need to do more advanced stuff in the future I can.

Leaving consumer routers behind and going the pfSense route is among the best decisions I’ve ever made. Highly recommended for anyone who isn’t afraid to learn some network stuff.

Yes sadly this means emergency services will no longer be able to take your call because they got rid of their phones. If you really want to talk you’ll have to book a Zoom appointment, so schedule your stabbings ahead of time.

Me too! Sadly I have 0 employees.

Like you don’t know it’s the hacker in the white mask who created bitcoin.

Totally agree. Gimp is really advanced and badass in many ways, but it’s like a nuclear reactor control panel’s worth of MS Paint. Hopefully the non destructive editing will change that. But yes like you said, Photoshop has the whole Adobe ecosystem, too. Hopefully things will change for the better with FOSS though, and I think it will. There should be a consortium formed of FOSS media software that aims to collectively work together to beat Adobe’s ass.

You’re right, but you’re missing a key point. Every edit changes the way the image looks. With destructive editing those changes are “baked” into the object you’re changing, and that is data loss. If you want to make a change to that edit you want it to still have the information from the original image so it can be included and changed into the new result you want. Destructive editing doesn’t allow for that. It’s like if you bend a metal wire, you just crumple it up, and then you want to straighten it again - you won’t be able to get it perfectly straight. Non destructive editing does allow for that because it still has the original information, it just doesn’t display it in its original form, it displays it with the edit you’ve made to it, and the edit is “live” so you can change it. It has nothing to do with layers per se, but using layers can be a way to do certain edits in a non destructive way.

If you don’t grasp the difference just open Gimp and do the transform test. Paste an image into a new layer, change the transform and squish it to the extreme (non uniformly), make it a few pixels wide only. Apply the transform. Change the transform again and pull the image out to its original aspect ratio. You’ll have a blurry image because of all the data that was lost in the first edit. Non destructive editing has been like the most requested feature for Gimp for the past forever for a reason.
