Thanks. The way it is, the notification will stay even after having responded to it, which I don't see the benefit of.

Reply to comment by 1122332211 in Boom: Gun owners win big in ATF reversal by Rambler
this is great news. next step should be to get rid of the ATF. also fuck the ATF
It's definitely in my top 3 least liked federal agencies.
"So what should we do today guys? Issue a statement on vertical foregrips? What if we say shouldering a pistol brace may be unlawful? Shoot some dogs? Someone want to draw a manufacturer out of a hat and fuck with 'em for a bit?"

Do I have to manually clear notifications?
Yeah. Which is handy for people like me who reads a message and then responds hours later. But obviously it should be an end user option to clear upon read or clear manually.
I'll add it to the to do list.

Why shouldn't it, though? Privacy obviously isn't a huge concern for most people, else the "have nothing to hide crowd" wouldn't be the majority.

It's a privacy issue, not one of trauma, which is my entire point.

You find it reasonable for a paid actor to say that one movie they did ten years ago should now be forbidden because they feel like it? I find the notion ridiculous.
Pictures of you are only personal if taken in a personal space. If your picture is taken while you are at a train station, for example, that is not personal data of you. It's a picture of a public place that you happened to be in as part of the public.
If you decide to appear in a movie, the expectation should be for other people to see it. Otherwise, why do it in the first place? Isn't the entire point of doing so to share it with others? Even if those others are only expected to be a small, private audience. How could a difference in audience size lead to the experience to become haunting and traumatizing? Violation of privacy, sure, but that's a completely different issue.
This also reminds me of the hero buying nude pictures from sluts only to send those pictures to their parents. The sluts were probably 'haunted' and 'traumatized' by that, too, despite openly selling their own nudes.

ImageMagick is mostly a CLI tool, but it does have GUI functionality. You don't use it by opening a GUI application that is called ImageMagick, though. It's an assortment of tools.

That's what I'm talking about. I'm not exclusively using shortcuts so that approach didn't solve the problem.

Reply to comment by Rambler in How to get site added to default subscription list? (i2p-projekt.i2p/hosts.txt) by Rambler
I would also suggest that users add my hosts.txt file.
Or if you are feeling brave I also have a list of every host I have ever found.
http://notbob.i2p/hosts-all.txt
Note that these are automaticity generated from ongoing scans of the network and only include alive hosts. If a host has been dead too long it gets removed from the list.
You can see the full details at http://notbob.i2p

As long as the ATF are allowed to dictate law without congressional approval I wont consider this a win. The likely did this because they were worried that enough people would contact there congressmen or file law suits against them.

I can import and export jpg files just fine on gimp 2.10.
If you're talking about not being able to "Save" or "Save As" a jpg, all you have to do is select "Export" or "Export As" (Ctrl+E and Ctrl+Shift+E) from the same menu or just replace the Ctrl+S for the same.

Hey /u/trw, thanks for stopping by. I still need to read up on federated sites more, it's certainly something I've seen mentioned often but not something I'm personally all too familiar with beyond the most basic gist.
I'll add that to the list of things I should know more about, haha.

Reply to Boom: Gun owners win big in ATF reversal by Rambler
If anyone is familiar with the ATF and their ever changing interpretations of their own damn rules, you'll understand that this is a big win. They will, seemingly on a whim, pass conflicting statements on gun parts that they previously approved without issue, and sometimes (as seen) reverse those opinions and interpretations again, later.
At least we don't have to worry about getting in trouble for shouldering a pistol brace anymore. I remember having to hold it away from me or cheek weld it anytime the range had some fudds there.

Hi rambler,
nice to see this new site, and the quite frequent use of it. Really like the site as such, as well as the cross network thing you have set up here. Should you ever think about federation, please give us a call at the rocksolid forums.
cheers

Never been a big fan of gimp, even though I used it almost exclusively for image editing. I'll have to look into ImageMagick.

I'm going to pin this for a little while just because it's a damn thorough read with good content.
I'm not affiliated with the creator in any way, just thought it was worth the extra attention that pinning it may bring.

I have a habit of removing the end of a url before sharing to remove junk, but didn't realize it was a story id and not ref?id=twitter
or something. I've updated it, should work now.

If it's so haunting and traumatizing, they shouldn't have starred in a porn movie, shouldn't they? Whatever happened to personal responsibility for ones action?

Understood. I am hoping to be able to get some custom development done in time, and that is certainly something that doesn't behave in a way most people would think it would, so it's being added as a feature request.
