I know there’s been a few posts about this before, but it’s been a month since the last one and it’s still ongoing. It doesn’t seem that any of the LW admins responded to Zag’s post on their help community, and the last response from lodion/Nath I’m aware of was from 4 months ago when there were outright federation...
I have a Samsung watch 6. The main reason I bought it is for running so I can log strava with HR monitoring and listen to podcasts. Well after a few runs logged, the HR monitor on the watch is really quite terrible. Yes I know all about the watch positioning on the wrist. It has massive gaps in HR logging and just blinks while...
I had a garmin strap laying around from when I was using a garmin, but the watch didn’t support ANT+ devices, so that didn’t work. I didn’t have a bluetooth one to test
Sure, but by the time those solutions are in place, another generation of people will have been denied the chance to own property, which has generational consequences on economic and educational outcomes for those families.
The answer is short term relief combined with long term change. Denial of short term relief because of hypothetical long term strategies that aren’t going to be implemented helps no one.
Sorry, I was being a bit tongue in cheek there. The economy will continue to be shit for people who struggle to afford home ownership whether or not they can use superannuation to help get their foot in the door.

That’s true. The issue is, they’re not going to implement any of those ideas…
So people who can’t enter the housing market remain fucked over, because the imperfect ideas that might actually get off the ground get set aside in favour of better ideas that will never see the light of day.
I saw that the community i moderate is available on blahaj.zone, and it has pulled some old comments, but new ones did not federate. There is also an old stickied post still stickied....
Either that, or you create an account on the communities home instance and give it mod privileges too, and that way you won’t ever get caught short by federation issues, blocking etc.
Shouldn’t you be taking pictures of birds though, haha.
Soon! It’s Friday evening here, but I’ll be out again this weekend :)

I’m growing more and more impressed with its capabilities the more I use it! Wrapping my head around its approach to masking, and its “scene referred pipeline” took some time, but now that I’m getting the hang of it, I think I can say I genuinely prefer it to Lightroom....
I moved from Windows to Linux, and I just couldn’t get Lightroom working on Linux. If I could have, I’d probably still be paying Adobe money, but instead, I was forced out of my comfort zone, and I’m thankful for it!
