Minor vent about #FOSS usability...

Some FOSS #software is pretty darned good in some or most respects, but then you run into a sharp edge or missing battery that makes you #facepalm.

The #GIMP, besides the #problematic name, has one such. It is widely lauded for its abilities when #printing images. I don't print much in the way of photography or fine art, so it's not something I personally notice, but a lot of people swear by it.

However, if you search the web for "how to print a large #image over multiple #pages", you will find that the only way to do it is to cut the image up into separate, smaller images, and then each chunk can be printed to a page. You have to basically do this by hand (there's a function that can chop an image into pieces according to your settings, but that's it as far as automation goes), and if you want to fit the resulting pages together, you've got to make sure you preserve the DPI across multiple images, and ensure there's no overlap or missing bits, etc.

There are a *ton* of results for people looking for how to accomplish this, and all the replies are "You can't, do it by hand". Considering how trivial the necessary operations are for a computer, it's a #bizarre #omission.

Draft & Schedule Posts for Later

@fediverseux

One feature that is currently missing on PixelFed (and something I wish they had) is the capability to compose a post as a draft and schedule it for later publication.

Please note that I didn’t need numerous trials in order to do #jailbreaking or get the system #hallucinating. I just conducted a normal conversation starting very general and then gradually going to a particular topic that I know very well. So I think that you don’t need to do something particular to derail #ChatGPT. I think it systematically makes up stuff when questions get too specialized. It lacks the capability to detect that a question is beyond its capabilities. #missingfeature

Not that I’ve been able to find
I think it is currently just a #MissingFeature

Good morning (in the afternoon)!
God morgen (på ettermiddagen)!
Guten Morgen (usw, weil mein Deutsch nicht genug gut ist)!

(Sorry I could only set one language code for this . . . maybe I've found a #MissingFeature?)
