There are so many great things happening these days. It gives me hope!

I regularly see this on a road near me. After heavy rain, water drains down into it from the fields on either side - the side that has the bare field on it is always brown with eroded soil and the side with permanent pasture on it is always clear.

You might find that more insulation helps if it's condensation. You're effectively sleeping on a hammock, so you could check out some hammock camping forums.

I had to sleep on one of those for an extended period recently and had the same problem. I highly recommend finding an alternative!

I wish I could give your comment more than one upvote. I think the vast majority of us are not fully aware that we're in the middle of an active Russian propaganda campaign. Apparently there are at least 10,000 people in Russia employed full-time on this and a tiny fraction of that here to try and combat it.

I think this is the first time our society has been subject to a state-backed propaganda campaign since the widespread adoption of the internet (which is of course not regulated like 'legacy media' is) and so it makes sense that most people aren't really on their guard for it. The government has no excuse though. They are reported to by the intelligence services, who know exactly what is happening here.

Would you be able to subscribe to those things via your account if they hadn't made it across to your instance though? I'm no expert but perhaps this is side-effect of controls for moderating federation i.e blocking or allowing content from other instances.

I do agree that it should be easier to browse any instance though. Some Pixelfed instances browser home pages seem to allow it and some don't - I'm guessing it's an admin option somewhere.

Sad to see that every single primary comment on this post is cynical and negative right now.

How about this instead: child sees a problem and has the hope, passion and courage to make a positive difference to something. Makes a positive difference to something.

If we genuinely want to the world to get better wr should be getting behind kids like him coming up, not looking for ways invalidate them.

It looks like you're right - just checked and it only seems to happen when Power Saver is selected in GNOME. Do you know if anything can be done to prevent dimming in this mode?

I use Pixelfed by subscribing to hashtags that I'm interested in and artists/photographers who I come across via hashtags or my instance feed.

I'm guessing that this is how Pixelfed is designed to be used as users and hashtags are what makes up your home feed.

I've never felt the need to browse by instance but I can see that this could be a cool feature to add if there are any which are dedicated to a particular subject or style. Of course the same functionality can be accomplished simply by users adding unique and specific hashtags to their posts e.g #celticsculptures or #seeninplymouth.

 

Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this?

I want my laptop display to not dim when the device is inactive. However, when I go into GNOME's settings and uncheck the option under Power Saving my choice is disregarded; the screen still dims. Is it being overridden somewhere?

For one beautiful moment when I looked at the time this morning I thought I had caught up on some sleep.

Along with the defence stuff, this is a golden opportunity for Labour to say "Circumstances have changed and unfortunately we must begin raising more taxes".

Polling currently supports raising taxes, everyone is fed up of wealth inequality and they have a big majority in parliament. The solution is obvious. He doesn't even have to fall out with Trump.

Those who don't have the time or appetite to tweak/modify/troubleshoot their computers: What is your setup for a reliable and low-maintenance system?

Context:

I switched to Linux a couple of years ago (Debian 11/12). It took me a little while to learn new software and get things set up how I wanted, which I did and was fine.

I've had to replace my laptop though and install a distro (Fedora 41) with a newer kernel to make it work but even so, have had to fix a number of issues. This has also coincided with me having a lot less free time and being less interested in crafting my system and more interested in using it efficiently for tasks and creativity. I believe Debian 13 will have a new enough kernel to support my hardware out of the box and although it will still be a hassle for me to reinstall my OS again, I like the idea of getting it over with, starting again with something thoroughly tested and then not having to really touch anything for a couple of years. I don't need the latest software at all times.

I know there are others here who have similar priorities, whether due to time constraints, age etc.

Do you have any other recommendations?

 

Just had a look at the GIMP 3.0 milestones page and saw this.

Am I missing anything or is GIMP 3.0 actually going to be released soon?!

 

Does anyone know if I can download a lemmy post, including all of its replies as a PDF or similar easy-to-read file?

Thanks!

 

I've just got a new laptop with a high resolution display and am having some trouble with scaling, particularly audio plugin GUIs which cannot be resized in Ardour (audio workstation) and are consequently too small to use. In the past I have launched qt apps via a script with something like 'packagename QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5’ (I don't have the exact command to hand).

Can individual gtk apps also be launched in this way? Is this a valid approach to the problem?

I'm using GNOME on Fedora 41 and an Intel Arc iGPU.

 

I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.

What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?

Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I'm willing to learn.

Any advice or signposting much appreciated :)

 

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.

 

Just saw on Masto that Resynthesizer will be compatible with GIMP 3.0

I think this is great news. Apart from all the upgrades we'll get in 3.0, it will be an opportunity to create a buzz around GIMP. The more functional it is, the better that buzz will be :)

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.
