@dajbelshaw I have, yes. Has promise, but unfortunately I've locked myself into the Lightroom pluginverse. On my someday / maybe list to wean myself off proprietary and onto FLOSS :)
UB40ās debut album ā Signing Off ā was the 1st I bought with my own money (Xmas 1980). Just listened again ā as fresh and radical as ever. They never reached those heights of perfection again šµ
@dajbelshaw E.g. Lightroom, Photoshop, Garmin Express, Zwift. Tried them all on WINE under Linux with not much joy.
@dajbelshaw I do use Linux, but need Windows for some things that just don't work (or work well) on Linux.
@dazinism Ah well, back to https://fix10.isleaked.com/ to change my settings back again. They won't beat me - I am more stubborn than they are :)
Today seems to be a techie woes day. My Lightoom > Koken Publish Collection plugin has stopped working properly, about to give up on it!
Goodness me, I am miffed with Microsoft. The recent Windows 10 update reset all my privacy settings, customisations and firewall rules ā without any notice of intent to do so. And it reinstalled all the crapware tile apps Iād studiously removed previously. I am seriously irked!
Ordered some handwarmers from Amazon, based on which I have been offered the autobiography of #GordonBrown No thanks, but what on earth have handwarmers got to do with him?! https://social.coop/media/8R99HtvdvphSZDXI8WA
@neil Yes I POSSE out from Known to Mastodon using this plugin: https://github.com/danito/KnownMastodon Seems to be out-only though so no backfeed. I'm also experimenting with POSSE from WordPress but with poor results so far.

"The #bitcoin #cryptocurrency was supposed to replace the #finance industry. Instead, it has replicated it.
Nakamoto wanted to create a system for #payments that would circumvent governments, bankers, and corporations. Instead, Bitcoin is now a get-rich-quick scheme that retains none of the exciting, anarchist features it proposed and has created a secondary #economy with financial shenanigans that mirror the ones that led to the global financial crisis."

I loved the #HauntedHouse board game as a boy - great fun when the ball went down the chimney and rolled down the stairs :) #1970s https://cobwebbedroom.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/denys-fisher-haunted-house-board-game.html: https://raretrack.uk/2017/i-loved-the-hauntedhouse-board-game-as-a-boy
Either a lot of people have blocked me(!) or Mastodon is dying. Where *is* everyone?
@kev Looks like you've been on a similar journey to me (I've summarised mine here at https://indieweb.org/User:Raretrack.uk) - still need to move from Google Calendar though. Good tip about cPanel as I have that on my hosting at Reclaim - so will check it out!
@Greg I use the open-source #Koken hosted on my own hosted domain server. Has a Lightroom Publish Service plugin, so I can publish direct without exporting http://koken.me/
@Greg My notifications went completely blank the other day, and haven't shown anything since!
