Maybe I'm just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.

Everything else on that list that is "better" does/can do lossy compression. I'm not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.

Thanks for the heads up.

Saw it wasn't on F-Droid and was going to ask for source page (to get through Obtanium), but looks like they're allergic to android and derivates. Appreciate you pointing to references.

Holy no paragraph breaks batman!

I'm surprised how low South Korea and Japan rank on that. With the things I've heard about their health and wellness, I would have figured they'd rank above the U.S.

Fine, it'll be a double walled square.

So found the Reddit reposting bot for it at !2westerneurope4u@lemmit.online (its just a not that reposts thing from Reddit).

!2westerneurope4u@reddthat.com looks more active. I'll take a peek at it this weekend.

Don't suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?

Wolf Creek Pass / Pagosa Springs, CO.

My old man was a fan of C.W. McCall, so grew up with his song about it. Randomly had a friend's family invite me with them to a ski trip there in college. Slopes were solid (my ski experience is very limited, but my amateur ass liked them), and the hot springs were great. First time I ever saw a couple unabashedly and openly smoking a joint in public (this was before state said pot was legal).

I'm still unclear how this will be implemented, but even if the full tax bill of a single person (highest tax bracket group) making $25,000 was negated, it would only save them $1,298.

On one hand, that feels like a tiny sum. On the other, that is 5% of their annual income (and i know a 5% raise on my end would make a substantial difference in my own life).

Used this calculator to run the numbers

I've found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).

PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory's on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).

It'd be as a grain of rice to a starving family, but I hope the Democrats pick it up as part of their platform.

That's been my tinfoil hat theory about all this too. Tipped workers are usually the lower rungs of the economic ladder. If they can "prove" they actually make a good deal more than they've historically claimed, then they can shed those "hungry mouths" from SNAP and other welfare programs.

This whole thing feels like a trap. I can't say with confidence where the trap is, but it just feels like its there, ya know?
