Good point.

I use Mastodon and Pixelfed mainly. But I also have an account on Friendica and Loops.video, but I rarely use them. And does Matrix count?

Oh and I forgot about Funkwhale for putting your music collection online.

Yoo thanks for sharing the link on peertube!

Oh yeah dav files can be played with vlc easy.

But y’all motherfuckers get doom to run on microwaves and shit these days

I’m going to assume you asked someone to do the work but you weren’t willing to pay the price for their time to do the amount of work you’re asking, so they refused.

No offense but that sounds like a hell of a project with a lot of technical challenges. Why can’t you do it yourself?

If you think it’s not that big of a project, maybe you could post some specs and more details about your device? And let people here tell you if it’s feasible or not.

You mean, people who operate a platform where people’s privacy constantly gets violated should have a right to their own privacy?

I dunno. I understand your point, but @Telorand@reddthat.com is also kind of right.

So… Another Ubuntu spin?

The advance tab only lets me choose the kind of paper (Glossy photo paper in my case) and to enable/disable grayscale printing.

The Job options has the following:

Then the page tab:

As you can see, even when I select borderless, margins are still there. And I can’t set them all to 0. If I try, I still get two margins that I can’t set to 0.

As someone else mentioned, this could be a driver problem. I’m gonna try installing the CUPS driver instead of the manufacturer provided one.

Yeah it was the snap one. I’ll install a second printer using the cups driver and try again.

Hi I just wanted to come back to you about whether I was using CUPS or proprietary drivers. I am using proprietary Canon drivers provided from their support website. So I guess the official one in Linux doesn’t support it somehow?

Hi, I just wanted to get back to you about Gutenprint.

This looks old. Is it still maintained?

EDIT: I installed it and tried setting up my printer but it says it cannot use that driver. So that’s a no go I suppose.

I tried this, here’s an example of what I got.

Setting up borderless paper in the print preview:

The result after:

And then when I print, I can’t get landscape photos to print properly. Not only do I get the 4mm white border, but I get half of a landscape photo in portrait mode… like wtf.

Thanks! I’ll take a look!

Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know it had events,

Yeah, same. I tried getting people to switch, but it was like pulling teeth. It’s even worse now, even with all the Meta Zuckerberg Trump bullshit and the obvious privacy problems.

The circles feature was awesome. Could post stuff for specific groups of people. Sometimes your posts aren’t for all your friends to see.

At first Diaspora seemed to propose a good alternative to Facebook ang G+. It has “aspects” which work similarly to circles. And the interface is similar to Facebook’s. However, it didn’t take off as much as anyone would’ve expected.

Now there’s also Friendica which closely resembles Facebook, but it appears limited in functionality. It looks more like a Facebook-UI to the fediverse, like Mastodon is a Twitter-UI to the fediverse. It’s missing the whole “circles/aspects” feature, and we still don’t have the groups feature either, which I think is very useful and much appreciated by Facebook users.

EDIT: Actually I just double checked and it does have circles actually.

This is probably controversial, but Google Plus was better than Facebook in every way.

Thanks for the advice.

I did buy this printer for the purpose of printing photos. I send them out to friends with a letter every year lol. So going to a shop to get them printed kind of defeats the purpose.

I did try to use it through Wine with Bottles, but it’s looking specifically for a Windows printer (or the spool system or whatever). So that’s a no go.

Right now I’m just using a Windows VM instead.

I forgot how I installed the printer, so I need to check again if I’m using a Canon provided driver or the CUPS one.

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, I tried Darktable but I still can’t get the image to get cropped to print border-less. My smartphone camera either prints 3:4, 9:16, 1:1, or whatever the screen ratio is. But it doesn’t match the traditional 4x6 paper photo ratio. So the photo needs to be slightly cropped to fit the whole sheet.

And then when it’s time for printing, it still prints white borders anyway. Even if I select 4x6 borderless.

Don’t gaslight me. My comment was a joke and you reported it just to fuck with me. You’re just harassing me at this point. Stop.
