re: dongle battery report

my guess is it strongly depends on whether the protocol it uses reports battery level, and if so, if it is openly reported without any esoteric tools.

The number of folks saying there's no way the name 'GIMP' ever stopped anyone from using or contributing to it is extraordinary.

I have *never* been in an office that has allowed me to install GIMP. Never. I have never even been able to get past the sniff of a pitch about GIMP.

Because of the name.

The level of disconnect people have with basic reality is refreshing. What is their world like?

The world's smallest violin just played. A 75 y.o POS big game hunter dies in #Gabon while trying to kill a duiker. He was crushed by a herd of #elephants. Excellent poetic justice. Can't say I'll shed a tear over such a monstrous person no longer being around. What about you? #BoycottHunting #Boycott4Wildlife

Long before the Anzacs, April 25 was the day women in Australia got the right to vote

April 25 1896 was a significant date in the history of womenโ€™s legal rights in Australia.

Two things happened on this day: women, including Aboriginal women, voted for the first time in Australia, thanks to a Constitutional Amendment passed by the South Australian parliament in 1894; and, in a world first, women in Australia became able to sit in parliament and participate in government.

The 1894 amendment wasnโ€™t the first South Australian bill that gave women the right to vote, but it was the first to became law. So what was different this time?

Muse reshared this.

Good progress on ReframeLossless image editing component today.

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.

Writing in the early 2000's: Meticulously spell-check everything, and make sure that the vocabulary is consistent with the latest dictionary edition, or people will think you don't know how to write.

Writing today: Put lots of typos in everything or people will think you're a robot.

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.

I'm planning to make some merch for #Mastodon's 10th anniversary and I would like to gauge which products folks might be most interested in buying. Remember, it's all bespoke, I can't make everything. For the sake of argument let's assume you love the original design that for now I want to keep a surprise...

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.
