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.

It had very poor viewing/listening figures for quite a long time, and was generally seen as a bit of a joke, but they’ve been growing alarmingly in the last year - though still comparatively low.

If you see a report saying “GB News hits 1 million viewers”, note that this was corrected a few days later to “actually it was only 33,000”.

So currently, it’s generally not trusted or respected, and is kind of seen as a joke, but like UKIP, Brexit, Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, Donald Trump as US President etc, it’s a dangerous joke that we should be taking more seriously.

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

In the UK, you can generally still find what you’d recognise as lemonade, but more likely under names like cloudy/flat/traditional/homemade/US style lemonade, then double check the ingredients for carbonated water. If it’s just called lemonade (or cherryade, limeade, orangeade etc), it’s fizzy.

The other way round, I used to be mystified how Calvin & Hobbes or Bart Simpson etc managed to sell lemonade on a table in front of their house, without a CO2 canister :)

Basically all the countries except those in North America, I think?

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.

This is brilliant. You’re doing a good thing for the world here. Thank you.

Surely now more than ever, we shouldn’t be giving a flying f**k about anyone’s gender anymore.

This “tradition” needs to piss off back to America.

It can take “baby showers” back with it if it wants.

• 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.
