I see #Waitrose have diluted their own brand washing liquid and also reduced the bottle size from 600 ml to 500 ml.

An update on that "suck my tongue" story regarding the Dalai Lama--a great example of the way rage-click farming and propaganda (Tibetans are united in their conviction that China is behind the uproar) overlap.

Just released v2023.4.0 of #Photini, a simple #photography #metadata (#Exif, #IPTC, #XMP) editor.
https://photini.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

This version adds "image regions", allowing the user to label parts of a picture. See https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/userguide/#_image_regions for more about image regions.

PS Photini also includes a #Pixelfed / #Mastodon uploader that reuses the metadata that's already been set for each picture.

I kind of miss when I had to defrag the computer and I could just watch the little animation of how it was all getting less fragmented and pretend that my life was also coming together like that.

Lovely people of the elephant! I probably should have posted this yesterday, but I wrote a little piece for the Metro that some of you might be interested in. I'm so pleased to be able to share it with you now. #RightToLove DisabilityRights

One day you’re young and the next thing you know, a bird feeder has become 80% of your entertainment.

I'm not sure if people realize that Twitter collapsing will mean no more articles in newspapers that are just a collection of people tweeting about a particular topic as though that's what everyone's saying.

Twitter becoming irrelevant is going to be so awesome you have no idea

I was woken up today by a phone call letting me know that due purely to budgeting changes I’ve been let go from my full-time contracting position I just started in January after being laid off in September.

I am a former #Apple #engineer with 15 years of experience making apps for #iOS and #macOS. I also have experience with #Ruby. Available immediately for full time or contract work.

Please boost. #Swift #RubyOnRails

I accidentally said “hey Shirley” instead of “hey Siri” to my phone this morning and now it is stuck in airplane mode.

@bykimbo eventually you run out of Fleeps tho and then it's a matter of rooting around in a drawer until you find an old Farp and hope you've still got that kluzer you were saving in case it came in useful because then you should be able to bodge together a Fleep from them. But kluzers aren't marked with their polarities so you might burn down the house if you get it wrong (Farps aren't keyed).

Sometimes every 10th post on the fed timeline is like

"""
Got myself a new Q807 for the Deffen but I have to update the paktware before I can implement it on my GWARN.

Unfortunately to do that I also need to freshen the intra-ROM corbels, but luckily I do have an old Fleep I can cannibalize.
But can I remember the right #dazzemble commands??????!!!!!

Wish me #luck!

Well I knew the UK was going to end in tears, but I didn't expect it to fall apart over Match of the Day.
