I don’t think that’s been near a designer. Someone’s made that in a hurry, in MS Word.

It’s a good plan, but it’s not different enough from his current appearance for anyone to notice.
There was a guy who was “famous” for having loads of plastic surgery to look like a Ken doll.
Perhaps Nigel could become “famous” for having loads of plastic surgery to look like Cyril Sneer from The Raccoons? He could carry on behaving like he already does.
I’m sure it’s not possible for everyone - but I essentially did this some years back - though more with Premiere than Photoshop - and therefore more Cinelerra/Kdenlive than Gimp/Krita.
I ran a dual boot system from about 2008 until about 2015. If it could be done in Linux/FOSS, it was. If it couldn’t, it was done in Windows/Adobe software.
I was self-employed, though I often did subcontracting work for a handful of media/umbrella organisations - so sometimes I had to use Premiere or Sony Vegas to carry on half-done projects I was handed.
Bear in mind this was when you bought Adobe software and didn’t rent it - and you could also keep running an older version for years.
Anyway, over time I used the Windows partition less and less, until I got rid of it entirely when I got a new computer.
I had to work a bit harder one year, and I did miss out on a few projects - but mostly, I could do everything I could do previously, but it took a bit longer for a while until I adjusted to a different workflow.
After that, you’re just saying “That’s a £2000 job”, “That’s a £200 job”, and meeting a deadline. Nobody really cares if it took 7 minutes longer to do, and I saved a lot of time not using Windows any more.
Editing (and other design stuff) is a far smaller part of my overall work these days, but I still do a good chunk of projects over the year, and I’ve been 100% Linux for almost 10 years. No regrets.
To a lot of laptop manufacturers, it certainly seems that way as of late - that’s why I’m ever hopeful that a modular laptop, such as the framework, might give us the option of how we want to control a mouse cursor.
That’s brilliant! Are there any other songs which do similar?
Fingers crossed for a touchpad with physical buttons.
You just understand them in your own way.
When this first came out, we interpreted it as:
Who? Who has? Who has fish? Who has fish from France?
Weevil eggs
I guess it’s a “right time, right place” thing.
I mean, you’re posting on Lemmy, so even when you post interesting, well-thought-out or funny things, you’ve only got 1 to 500 people going “Oh, cool - I really like that”.
People posting stuff on Twitter can get thousands of likes and reshares etc, and sometimes you get places like the BBC making “news” out of a Twitter post, spreading things amongst many more thousands (or millions?) of people.
About 8 billion people have never heard of you, but most of the people on Lemmy probably think you’re ace.
Is your local water company irresponsibly releasing sewage into your rivers?
Are you struggling to find an environmentally sound liquid to throw over Nigel Farridge?
I wonder if there’s some sort of solution to both these problems? Perhaps there is a way to both help remove a small amount of sewage from the river and also find something to throw at Nigel?
Hmm…
Thank you, and likewise. It’s good to know I’m not the only person using a pseudonym. I guess everyone else is using their real names :)
Personally, I’d probably prefer to see Fallout 3/4/NV converted to an isometric turn-based engine.
However, I know I’m old and have a niche opinion on such things, so I genuinely wish them good luck :)
Did you not hear about the bellend shortage?
There’s been an accident down at the knobhead factory, and output is currently so low, Britain’s news resources are in danger of failing to meet it’s quota of “knobheads and bellends saying things loudly”.
Thankfully, Nigel Farridge is there to save us.
To a degree, yes, but don’t expect magic. Some laptops have a waterproof membrane under the keyboard, so if you’re lucky, and it does, you may be able to just pop the keys off and dry the membrane out, and make sure no liquid creeps round the side into the electronics.
Otherwise you may have better odds if you open up the case and mop up any/all loose liquid you can get to with a microfibre cloth, as soon as possible, then try and let it air dry for a while.
A sealed bag with dried rice and your electronic object may absorb a bit of leftover moisture, but only to the extent that it will equal the moisture level in the sealed bag - the dried rice will gain a little extra moisture, the object will lose that bit of extra moisture.
Try to resist the urge to turn it on to check if it’s working until you’ve got all the moisture out.
Someone has kindly put the page on archive.is
He might have done a few surprisingly acceptable things as of late, but let’s not forget him destroying that schools building/repairing/upgrading project (which is why a large chunk of school buildings are now dangerous), then completely ruining secondary education with pointless, backwards reforms, loudly supporting and championing the destruction of the NHS to be replaced by a private subscription model etc…
His impact has generally been to meddle, alter, ruin and destroy, against the experience, knowledge, research and expertise of anyone who knows anything within the field and instead promoting wildly ill-thought-out early 20th century Tory whims because he’s “Had enough of listening to experts”.
Apologies for the rant, but he’s been high up on my “worst humans in the country” list for over a decade - though he’s been knocked down the list a little as of late, because who can compete with Mel Stride, Priti Patel, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Suella Braverman etc.
I just worry how 17% of people would think the Tories would support the NHS… almost 1 in 5 people thinking “yeah, they’re doing a great job” in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
I might be wrong, but wasn’t Movit just for timeline preview, and hadn’t worked properly for quite a few versions and now you just use the NVENC/VAAPI etc export profiles to export with GPU?
