Good progress on ReframeLossless image editing component today.
Tomorrow I hope to add aspect ratio constraints and white point adjustment.

A global juggling act: feeding the world, saving species - Palm Oil Detectives
Our planet is on the precipice of a sixth mass extinction event. But unlike the five previous mass extinctions, this one is man-made: a global biodiversity crisis in which species are disappearing three to 12 times faster than the “normal” rate of ex…Palm Oil Detectives
I started having regular problems with Dysautonomia (autonomic dysfunction) when I was going through menopause over a decade ago. I was rushed to the hospital a couple times with doctors worried that I might have had a heart attack. Even ten years ago people didn't know very much about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) which is a connective tissue disorder, one aspect of which can be hypermobility. Now, and I mean only in the last year or so, like POTS--dysautonomia has often been found to be a comorbidity of EDS.
Dysautonomia also shows up in some people with long COVID and other diseases.
The graphic shows a collection of symptoms you may have with Dysautonomia. You are unlikely to have all of them. There is more than one type of Dysautonomia. But if you have a problem that has these symptoms and it is something of a mystery to your doctors, perhaps investigate this.

Lebanon's president and prime minister accused Israel on Thursday of a war crime, after an airstrike killed a Lebanese journalist in the country's south, where Israeli forces occupy several areas. Rescuers and the reporter's employer on Wednesday confirmed the death of Amal Khalil, a 42-year-old journalist who worked for the Lebanese daily Al-Akbar.

Hot take of the day: we could have stopped Adobe ages ago if GIMP had any other name.
GIMP is nominative determinism applied to open source. If Fedora was named FUCKBOI, it would have failed too.

Hi friends, I’m hoping someone here may be able to help…
I have just one copy of my 2011 book, The Science of Kissing, published in Japanese. I would like to buy another to share with a friend in Japan, and do not know how to find it.
Mastodon has proven a very smart community, and I’d appreciate any guidance to point me in the right direction? Thank you. #books
Wow! Thank you all! I wasn't finding any of these & am excited I will able to send this as a gift. I greatly appreciate your help Mastodon & #bookstodon!
I do have a follow up...
My 2009 book, "Unscientific America"," coauthored with Chris Mooney, was translated to Chinese, but I have never seen that version. I assumed it would not be possible to locate. If anyone knows how to find a copy, I'd be excited to have one.
But most importantly, thanks again to all! /2
If it's still in print, they have it.

5 Reasons to Upgrade to Ubuntu 26.04 (and 3 Reasons to Stay Away)
Should you skip this new release or jump on the bandwagon and upgrade to 26.04? Let me help you with that.Roland Taylor (It's FOSS)
I will probably try it in a VM. However, I will wait until Mint incorporates it into their next LTS release before I do anything with it as daily use (and even then, I will test in a VM first to make sure it works well for my needs on my hardware).
I don't like the Gnome desktop and have not had good experiences with Ubuntu main since I tried 12.04 and 14.04 (I skipped 16.04, and 18.04 also did not work for me). Kubuntu is my back-up OS so I may upgrade that to 26.04

The second person is correct and linux being small on desktops is because it is not mass manipulation compatible.
Windows and MacOS are dumbing people down, making them use high tech that costs millions to make (the machines building computer parts are prohibitively expensive) without being aware of the labor that went into them.
Normalizing monopolists like microsoft or apple is just another way of making excuses for mass exploitation.
Microsoft and Apple need to be taken down.

Firefox Has Quietly Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine
Mozilla shipped it in Firefox 149 without a mention in the release notes.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
Nice. I assume once it's actually used, it will mean a performance boost over extensions like uBlock Origin.
What I don't understand though, is how many anti-fans Mozilla has. Every time they announce anything, comments are full of FUD.
