@servant That's always nice. I have good feelings in my memory of my family around the firepit outside <3

I'm entered in a college competition!
I'm actually not that good (outside of the living room :) ); I'm a little above a level-8 auto. But I'll see how long I can hang on!

Hello World!

GIMP project now gets a new official Mastodon account! ๐Ÿฅณ

We can see the info leaked somehow (we had not announced it and already got 150+ followers in 2 days) ๐Ÿ˜‚.

GIMP news will be coming here too, from now on!

@Longplay_Games@mastodon.social I mean it is kind of annoying and questionable, *but* Canonical is a business, it is supposed to try to make more money; this is what happens. One can usually switch to a community-run distro to remove the commercial motivation behind their OS.

@markusl I don't know if it ships inexpensively to UK buyers, but I have a Watchy and it is pretty nice!
watchy.sqfmi.com/ sqfmi.com/watchy
It is Arduino programmable and has {a lot of,potential} features

Let's do a little code for fun!
What one-liner (in a language of your choice) can you think of that produces the string "unix" on a terminal (an xterm-compatible one, say)?

A simple starter:
puts("clip\bx\run");

@servant That's pretty cool! What room or rooms does it connect with?

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Me too :) I like to have books and screens a little out of my range, and I try to focus on them in hopes of improving my sight a little.

@pixelherodev@fosstodon.org Probably a good way to help prevent nearsightedness. You could sit further back.

If you have an indepdently hosted WordPress blog, you can turn it into a Fediverse server using a special plug-in. This means that people on Mastodon etc. can follow your blog and interact with it.

You can install it on your blog by logging into the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New, then search for "ActivityPub". The plug-in you want is called "ActivityPub" and is by Matias Pfefferle.

You can also see more info about it at wordpress.org/plugins/activity and the author is on the Fediverse at @pfefferle

Once it's installed, you can find the blog's Fediverse address in your WordPress dashboard's Users section, it's listed at the bottom of the user's profile options. You can copy and paste this address into the search box on Mastodon etc to interact with that user's blog.

You'll also see an ActivityPub section in the Settings menu.

Note : This plug-in only works on independently hosted WordPress-powered blogs. It doesn't work on Wordpress.com free blogs.

I love my netbook, but it's small (that's why I bought it!) and all the keys on the keyboard are close to each other, so sometimes I press the power button instead of the backspace and turn the device off. It's annoying...

To disable this key on systemd systems just edit the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file, uncomment the HandlePowerKey line and change the command to ignore the key, so:

HandlePowerKey=ignore

@guenther @purism @kyle I'm anti-racism but I can see the perspective where one simply shows accurate search results according to what you searched. Idk though...

Also if you get those results while searching # kikes ... Don't search # kikes. My issue is when you get junky results searching something okay.
