I understand Michael O’Leary “dog foods”. When he wants to travel, he buys a ticket using the RyanAir app on his phone and experiences it as a normal passenger. As a result, the app is bloody excellent.
It is profoundly obvious that the CEO of Volotea does not do this. Dear god, it’s terrible!

Curious about just how good the quad bayer "48 megapixel" pro raw camera in the iPhone 16 Pro is, I put it head to head against my 26 megapixel Fuji XE4 with a 16mm lens (stopped down to f/5.6) to closely match field of view. I photographed the same scene on both. Here are 100% crops from both, scaled to the same size.
Notably, the phone, despite having more pixels, simply does not capture the amount of fine detail that the Fuji captures with only half as many pixels.
As good as camera phones have got, you simply cannot compete against large photosensors fed by a nice expensive quality piece of glass.

Do people understand how anxious trans people are these days?
Like, my personal advocacy has had to change from "please understand trans people like me" to "please stop helping Nazis who want to murder us, why do you keep doing that?"

Yes. We (my family) understand that standing with our trans siblings is the front line of how we push back against fascism. None of us is free unless all of us are free.
Not looking for a pat on the head. As always, solidarity forever.

Had to book an AirBNB with a microwave in France because searching for a restaurant that can cater to coeliacs in Brittany resulted in “these guys can do salad without toast.”
I expect coeliacs in France just … die?

Thing is, Keith, literally nobody voted for you to do David Cameron cosplay for five years.
So maybe what you need to cut is not imaginary “red tape”, but “the crap”, and start doing your job?

Funny-not-funny, isn't it, how the folks queuing up to assassinate Donald Trump all seem to be right-wingers stirred up by confrontational/apocalyptic rhetoric.
(I'm now upgrading my worst case outcome for November 4th to: Trump wins the election, then is assassinated by a neo-nazi. Which would be the PERFECT "Reichstag Fire" inciting incident for the incoming Vance dictatorship.)

I'm liking the Art Deco aesthetic. I'm liking this /much more/ than the damn Cybertruck. It's immensely impractical, and I'm not sure it'll ship in this form, but I think this is actually pretty cool.

We're hearing increasing reports of GPs refusing to prescribe HRT for trans people, even when they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic.

yes.. well
except that Reform / UKIP/ Brexit Party already did something much worse than the AfD.
They converted the Tories into Reform, and they had been in power for 14yrs, until recently.
So the UK challenge is really very different. Much more advanced on the shit arc.

As a child, I grew up speaking the East Midlands dialect of English.
But I was led to believe that were I to “get on in life”, I would need to speak Standard Southern British English.
As I believed this, I willingly embraced it and now I mostly do speak SSBE.
But I’m somewhat bitter about needing to, even if I did willingly embrace it at the time because, as I was taught, I thought my own dialect was “unsophisticated”.
It wasn’t; it was just different, but in the 70s and 80s even local celebrities who made it big on the national stage were encouraged to drift linguistically towards London, and if they didn’t, that acted as a barrier.
It’s less the case now, but with the benefit of hindsight I do feel a bit resentful about it.
As times have changed, and as I don’t feel that I have anything to prove, I increasingly find myself drifting back towards the way I used to speak as a child.

Any idea what we can do to mitigate remote contacts using animated GIFs for their avatars and causing zombie worker jobs because PHP can’t handle the format? It started as a small issue, but more and more people (especially on lemmy) seem to be using these avatars and it’s causing a significant administration headache where I have to find out which contact is responsible by manually searching the SQL database and then server blocking them.
If Update Contact failed gracefully it would be less of an issue, but it doesn’t. I’m sure I can’t be the only one seeing this?
@Sarah Brown @Steffen K9 🐰 @Hypolite Petovan Maybe it is something Alpine Linux specific. I Am also using Alpine and I also had this error all the time. Either the one you posted (gd-webp cannot allocate..
) or another one. Currently I only see this one, but very often :
Fatal Error (E_ERROR): Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 96485376 bytes)
I tried to allow more memory, up to 2048M.. it didn't help.. (now I am using 512M again) I don't know why this happens. But I understand it is not nice, having the admin log section full of it. 😕
What PHP version and memory_limit do you use? ( I use PHP 8.3.10 and 512M)
Been thinking about Sarah’s history of English royalty since William t he Conquerer. Let me know if I left anything important out:
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved, negotiated succession.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Descendant forced to accept terms.
Stability for a bit while they’re busy fighting other people.
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved violently.
Succession crisis (religion). Civil war narrowly averted.
Dynasty goes extinct. Succession negotiated.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Civil war resolved through decapitation.
Succession crisis. Civil war averted via negotiated succession.
Succession crisis -> civil war fizzles
Dynasty goes extinct (yes, Charlie, it did. Shut up)
Parliament is finally utterly fucking sick of this lot starting civil wars, installs German puppets. The end.
