Yep! The male becomes a brilliant blue when he's got breeding plumage on!

That's them :)
You could take the 1 trillion dollars it would cost the Australia government and spend it on any number of things to make ownership easier.
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.
The bird was maybe 4 meters up from the path I was on?
This magpie was a very good model. They complied with all of my posing requests to give this wonderful golden hour shot :)

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 :)
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.
So people remain excluded from property ownership, but hey, at least the economy will be ok

You are working on undoing a lifetime of negative indoctrination and internalised shame about yourself. Finally knowing who you are, claiming ownership of yourself and forging the life you want is a powerful and amazing experience, but it doesn't undo that previous lifetime of experience overnight.
It's going to take time to work through the conflicting and sometimes contradictory feelings. The best thing you can do is give yourself permission to work through it. Don't beat yourself up or blame yourself for those moments, because they're not your fault, they're the end result of a lifetime of negativity targeting folk like us, and you're walking the path towards undoing that negativity. But it takes time. Give yourself permission to take that time to work through it

You're more than welcome to create a community on blahaj.zone if you like. You'd need an account here, but you can create it, create the community, mod your main account, and do all of the maintenance/management from your main account
Of, you could set it up on your current instance, and let people know about it.
Whatever you do, I think it's a good idea to get a voice training community up and running!
There's more coming! I got a good haul of photos on that walk:)
Ideally, it wouldn't be either of those things.
Trans communities for example, Closeted trans folk benefit from people being able to see trans communities and browse them, and just lurk before they post or before they're ready to join a private community.
Yet at the same time, sometimes, members have questions that really only other trans people can answer. And there is no problem with other folk seeing it or even engaging with the content, but once it hits all, the ratio of useful answers goes down. So being able to just stop some posts from hitting all, without otherwise locking them down would be a nice option
Blahaj zone doesn't do downvotes, so that side of being visible on /all is a non issue. The only thing that really seems to be an issue is that we will get the odd post intended specifically for members of the community that get visibility in /all, and a bunch of non helpful/irrelevant replies.
I think it would be nice to be able to make some posts "community members only", but other than that, I generally think communities are helped by the increased of exposure that comes from /all
Not sure. I've recently moved over to photon though, as it's more feature rich than alexandrite, and almost as nice to look at
They weren't very welcoming...

Gorgeous bird!

Linux photogs, help me out. What does your workflow look like? What apps do you use?
I've found that digikam is really good for managing my keywords and metadata, and organising photos post shoot, but the image editing is limited.
And using separate image editing software leads to problems, because my camera's raw files (.cr3) aren't very well supported.
I can make it work, by using Lightroom online, but it's not exactly an integrated system due to its cloud based design.
I've tried running Lightroom in a VM, but ran in to trouble giving the VM access to my GPU...
So those who have made it work, what does it look like for you?
