I had one of those printer experiences myself recently, when an HP printer was out of ink and because of that (?!?) refused to let me scan a document. Arrrgh, proper righteous rage against that machine!

I worry that when Google does something like this, their goal is to increase their own power in the world. Google already has way too much power, in a way that is really dangerous.
Let's put our efforts into things that take power away from Google/Apple/Microsoft/etc and give more power to individual people instead.
Inga bra anledningar tror jag tyvärr, mest att Signal vill bevara sin egen maktposition. I alla fall om man får tro Drew DeVault som brukar veta vad han pratar om: https://drewdevault.com/2018/08/08/Signal.html
But how do you add it in your profile? You type :gnu: as part of your "Display name", or you add it somewhere else?

Apparently it can be different for different Mastodon instances.
Alltså, jag tror det smartaste sättet är att undvika att gå på för hårt om att alla borde sluta använda Facebook, acceptera att många vill använda Facebook, det är deras val, men förhoppningsvis kan de i sin tur acceptera att det finns folk som väljer att inte använda Facebook. Då blir det mindre som att du attackerar dem, det blir mer en vädjan att de ska visa förståelse för att det finns andra som faktiskt inte vill använda Facebook.

Javisst är det svårt, men i det här fallet är det extra viktigt just för att det är så svårt.
Jag tror det bästa sättet är att argumentera för att alla ska kunna vara med.
Förklara att det finns folk (kanske du själv är ett exempel) som inte vill använda Facebook och peka på att det finns en del goda skäl till det.
Sen kan man argumentera att "intern-kommunikationen ska väl vara tillgänglig för alla kollegor, inte bara för de som använder Facebook?"

@hjartberg Här finns några varianter: https://switching.software/replace/facebook-messenger/
Kanske Element / Matrix kan vara något, om man skapar ett "rum" där för sin grupp så kan alla prata inom gruppen, utan att det publiceras utåt, tror jag.
@douginamug What you need is two computers, one where you "attend" that thing, the other for doing something useful meanwhile. 🙂
Yes, it looks that way in the tiff too.
There is also corresponding a .dng file for each photo taken, that I think contains the "raw data", probably I could process that myself to create images but I did not try that yet.

I don't know why it happens but it looks like that pink color sometimes appears in at the change from "too bright" to some normal color, mostly when the change is abrupt from one pixel to the next, when the change is more gradual it does not seem to happen.
Here is another example where that is seen more clearly. This was taken earlier in the day when the daylight was a bit brighter (still no sunlight though).
@fribbledom Is that real, or a joke? It's almost like that stunt Signal pulled with the ads they made to expose how much Facebook knows and uses about people. Maybe Facebook figured that the cat's out of the bag so they just run with it now.
Could also be part of a strategy to gradually make people think "it's actually good that Facebook knows everything about me, then Facebook can help me in so many nice ways like this".
I'm also not convinced, would like some example of Luke saying something racist or "far-right". I consider myself pretty "far-left" but I still appreciate Luke's videos, those I've seen, which I admit are not that many.
I do understand that Luke is an advocate for a decentralized web, but then so am I. The author of that article may think that is a "far-right" stance, I don't agree. I want a web that is not controlled by a few trillion-dollar companies. So does Luke, I guess.
Part of #Brunnsviken north of Stockholm #shotonlibrem5 using the #megapixels #camera app from https://source.puri.sm/dorota.czaplejewicz/megapixels with default settings in #PureOS byzantium. The image file ended up as a 2463552 bytes .tiff file in ~/Pictures/ which I then made into a .jpg file using the "convert" program. Maybe @dos knows tricks to get better image quality? 🙂 (One issue seems to be that bright areas get too bright.) #librem5 #freesoftware @purism @martijnbraam
@redstarfish That's been very useful for me, especially when combined with the <alt>+number thing to repeat a certain number of times, with that you can execute your macro a certain number of times.
Sounds good, but I'm not sure I understand what that means. Trying to guess: you have a regular SIM card in your Librem 5 that gives you a mobile data connection, and then you have another phone number that is your JMP number and people can send MMS to that number, but that is not the number for your SIM card? Two phone numbers, the one for your SIM card and another one that is the JMP number? (The JMP number does not have any SIM card?)
Is that how it works?
Just discovered that there is a "libreplanet-se" mailing list, for free/libre software discussions specific to #Sweden: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-se/2021-05/threads.html
I subscribed and started a few threads:
- The Swedish Riksbank's new digital currency, "e-krona" -- could it use #GNU Taler?
- FLOSS at Swedish schools and universities?
"Free/libre alternatives to BankID and Swish?"
If you live in and/or care about Sweden, join the mailing list you too. Let's change the world starting here! 🙂
@dragestil@hostux.social I see, but then you can email Hannah Wolfman-Jones and say so, I think she can sort it out somehow.
Or email me at mail@eliasrudberg.se with your postal address, then I can send you one. I was anyway about to order a couple of extra copies (since I'm anyway already Amazon-contaminated, so to speak) to give to people around here, I can send one to you as well. 🙂
