The Labour government is not left, so who is the supposed rift with?

In fact, from what I can tell, all the talk is about cooperation with the Greens, independents, unions and community groups. Bringing the left together.

I haven't heard any of this 'splitting the left' talk from leftwing backbenchers - only from Labour leadership goons and the right - which I think tells you everything you need to know about the message.

Over the next few years we're going to have to be better than we were in 2019 at seeing this kind of FUD for what it is or we'll get Farage as the next prime minister.

And we won't get another chance to do something about it until 2034.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Same here! 3.0 has really invigorated me to learn more :)

WILSOOOOON!!

Seriously though, this is so cool.

There's something I find really touching about this.

Also, I love that our two nations have so much camaraderie and fraternity (yes, we have our little squabbles here and there too), after SO much conflict in the past.

We know how to do peace.
