First Matt Gaetz now Marjorie Greene. Not looking good for MAGA.

Trump more interested in being the planet’s Dalai Lama peacemaker than being the American people’s leader.

Not to mention Trump’s transition to building global “corporate” governance over countries global governance of people worldwide. He’s doing this under the guise of moving corporations to the US but in fact they are moving parts here and parts to Arab countries & Russia and India and others.

Putin: Trump's New Peace Plan May Become Foundation of Ukrainian Conflict's Resolution sputnikglobe.com/20251121/puti…

After spending 22 months in Israeli prisons, Palestinian detainee Naseem Al-Radee returned to Gaza carrying the deep scars of torture and loss.

He was abducted by Israeli occupation forces in December 2023 from a displacement shelter. During his detention, he endured brutal beatings, while soldiers threatened to kill his wife and children unless he agreed to collaborate with them. Despite the threats, Al-Radee refused.

When he finally came home, he discovered that his wife and children had been killed in Gaza during his imprisonment.

Former Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari warned Israel has “lost the war on social media,” calling it the key battleground for global opinion.

Speaking in Washington, he urged building a propaganda system modeled on Unit 8200, stressing the fight must be waged with “images, videos, and statistics, not long texts.”

Gremlings.

I'm telling you, it's gotta be gremlins.

Every once in a blue moon when I power up the arcade, one machine doesn't come up properly. No matter how much I poke around, measure things etc, there's nothing wrong with it. If I reboot it, it comes up properly and and continues to work normally. It's never the same machine.

Just one of those #arcade mysteries.

Question: is there any FLOSS tool that more or less does what Photoshop's "Save for web" does? I mostly think of the ability to experiment with compressing your image in different ways (playing with JPEG compression level vs index colours) while showing you directly both how it will look and how much the file would weight?

It's something that works really well if you want to test how far you can compress an image. Sometimes you're really attached to dithering, but you realise JPG will actually do a better job / sometimes you want to quickly see if you can keep the image readable with an index palette of 4 colours.

The GNU Is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program does it wonderfully for JPEG, but gives you zero preview for working with indexed colours. Tools like ditherinator give plenty of options for dithering, but are not focused on filesize. And I don't seem to find anything that puts together both JPEG & index colours.
