Does anybody know a right mouse click save and reduce a screen saver image to a smaller file, say 50KB?
My usual method is slow, place in image program and re-save it smaller.
I used to have a Window’s way to reduce file images from 1MB to 50 KB with right mouse click.
These pictures are expensive, 130 KB as a png file. how come? Can they get smaller to under 50Kb?
Some chooks not up this morning ?
my faviourite tree under wire netting, an apple, got fruit fly this year. bother
might need netting over it
Especially love my new pre loved roller doors !!
Love my new shed, getting ready to retire
A view of the deck, overlooking the new gardens.
Like the writing it does.
I finally got “Drawing” as an APP to work. Happy with it so far.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org call the @yarn_police,@twtxt.net call the @yarn_police@twtxt.net! 😂
Like like Kolourpaint for its simplicity why has it stopped working?
Seems I am not the only one to find the APP stops working?
I finally got Ubuntu Software to find Kolourpaint and it installed, now when I run the APP nothing happens.
Dead, zip narda.
Stupid program , what is wrong?
Shutdown OK this time
In Unbunti software, explore KolourPaint is says the “No application found”
Why can’t the APP find the software on the WWW?
Unbuntu in a bad mood. KolourPaint will not run, unstalled and reinstalled in, shut down the machine and fired it up again, installed just keeps the wheel icon wheeling????
I get nothing. The stupid Kolour Paint will not run.
The wheeling wheel keeps on wheeling, yet everything else is fine.
Why can’t you get you computer back when you shutdown Ubuntu?
@nff@www.noizhardware.com I do! :-) Btw. line 65 in your feed is broken.
@prologic@twtxt.net I wish getting a static IP and a (more) stable internet connection wasn’t so hard over here. Then I could do proper self-hosting as well. But as it stands, I need some rented VPS.
I could go ahead and just use the VPS for the IP, i.e. forward all traffic through Wireguard to a box here at home. Big downside is that the network connection would be even slower than it already is and my ISP breaks down all the time for a few minutes … it’s just bad overall and much easier/better to rent a VPS. 🫤
hey @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I’ve seen your mention from uhhmmm 4months ago just now using my crawler -__-’ / curious to know, do you see my mention now? #meta #twtxt
Thanks, @falsifian@www.falsifian.org! I’ll definitely start with the latter one then. Let’s see how far I make it. :-)
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Phew, okay. So, it took a few months to grow that big. I feared that it could have been just a week or so. Yeah, insulation always is a good idea.
“loud baby cries, wettings of bed.”
@prologic@twtxt.net Holly, didn’t know bots and crawlers could do comedy now… they should’ve added “Dave Chappelle/69.420” to their UA.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m speculating, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably asking for your user password in order to access some user keyring (or whatever your OS uses to manage user secret credentials) used to safely store your passkeys related data in order to do its passkeys /ME doing air quotes Magic™ … you could try with a different password manager to avoid said scenario.
Also, passkeys UX sucks.
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Hahaha, that’s sick, I love it! :-D I envy you a bit. On the other hand, I have to admit I’m glad that I don’t have to chisel down giant blocks of ice from the house.
@eapl.me@eapl.me I can do that as soon as I get back home. Also, just in case you’ve missed it, Choice 1 is actually 4 different variations.
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Mate, what an amazing video, holy cow! :-D We only get complete jokes of icicles compared to what you had there ealier today. It’s a giant wall. For how many days did that grow on your roof?
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Oh, that’s neat! Interesting how “obviously” isn’t all that obvious at all, even to the contrary. I reckon I have to read up on that subject on the weekend. :-)
I like how Ian’s and your photo complement each other, winter and summer join forces for something special. :-)
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Wooooaaaahhh! That is BY FAR the biggest icicle I’ve ever seen. Really cool! :-) How long did it take to melt in your sink? The video download is still dripping in, looking forward to that.
twtxt, the microblogging for hackers and friends...
@eapl.me@eapl.me I couldn’t care less about ActivityPub, but twtxt is the thing for hackers by design. That’s the appealing part for me, personally. I actually do enjoy that not everybody and their dogs are here. :-)
@thecanine@twtxt.net I agree!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know, I don’t see this happening all that often. Very rarely. The problem I encounter much more often is that tech folks are blindly adopting every new hype without thinking the slightest bit what the consequences might be.
But maybe that also means I’m one of these “told you so” guys. Not sure.
I’m in an article in Quanta Magazine! It’s about the bizarre world of algorithms that re-use memory that’s already full. https://www.quantamagazine.org/catalytic-computing-taps-the-full-power-of-a-full-hard-drive-20250218/ I’m the one with all the snow in the background.

En fait, pour le #potager il me faudrait vraiment un broyeur (histoire d’avoir un bon compost). Je me demande s’il existe des trucs sans électricité….

I’m surprised, here you can’t find dial controls anymore. How old are your ovens? The last one my parents had was from the 90s.
I was amazed experimenting with different combinations, for instance instead of 100, using 60 for a minute, 90 for 1:30, and stupid stuff like heating with 11, 22, 55 seconds and so, to make it quicker to type any time.
with the quote?
among these options, 3
Although I like it more “twt”, without the dot and with a t at the end
What would you like the new twtxt logo to be?

@sorenpeter@darch.dk I think it was just one broken image link, right?

@eapl.me@eapl.me Agree 👍

I couldn’t resist taking home a prize:
It’s been snowy here in #Toronto.

Feels like a wider problem with the Internet and to some extent computing as a whole. I’m not advocating for elitism or hostile design, but things are being dumbed down to a ridiculous extent - everyone is encouraged to use their computer as a social media box, streaming + gaming console, not learning how it works (even at the most surface level), no more making your own website, your game you never finish, your collection of media in various file formats… When there is an error, you get a generic error message, the networking app is afraid to let the user come into contact with any networking, past scanning the WiFi QR code or plugging in the Internet cable.
Back when I was in primary school, everyone wanted to run their own personal blog website about nonsense nobody else cared about, downloaded songs, movies, games they had to solve problems to run. Maybe we should once again encourage people to think, at least a little.
