    Galatasaray’s 2-0 defeat away to Konyaspor on Saturday did more than end a 10-match unbeaten run across all competitions, because it triggered a wave of speculation about two of the club’s biggest stars at a moment when the title...

    “The BBC has [..] done what it always does when Western power moves toward confrontation: it has selected the expert whose framing serves the moment, it has omitted the context that would expose the alignment, and it has presented the resulting narrative as the reasonable centre-ground view”

  5. 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.

    Is there any record of this on archive.org?

    We realise it's garbage instaspam so we're unsure of how easy it is to archive.

    The article itself seems to feature a genuine image, but early versions of the article neglect to mention #USSanctions. The currency version does, at least.
