  • This is all very helpful, thank you :)

    Any Creative Commons license will require the festival to list a credit for your work. That might not be an issue for the app or website, but the festival might not be interested in listing “poster by Tippon, used under a Creative Commons 4.0 license” every time they use something you created on social media, in print, or advertising.

    I didn’t know about that. I thought they might have to credit me, but didn’t know that it would need to be on the work itself. I definitely don’t want that. I hadn’t thought about third parties either. I doubt that anyone would try to rip us off, but I don’t want to leave that door open either, just in case.

    I’m not overly concerned with future clients, as I’m medically retired and just doing this as a learning exercise. There’s a tiny chance that I might get future work from this, but I’m more concerned with not cutting myself off from using the website / app template if I was to fall out with the festival at some point. As you say though, I don’t want to leave either me or the festival open to having the content stolen either.

    I’ve just realised that I need to double check how to handle third party images too. We have some local businesses who support the festival, so we use their logos as links on the site. If I include them in the repository, I don’t want to accidentally give them away.

    I’ve got some reading to do! :D















  • I commented on the last post about this, the three stars are difficult to make out on a small screen, they look like a blurry capital A. On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

    The whole point of this campaign appears to be to replace a unique symbol with one that’s already in use and is hard to read at small sizes 🤷🏻‍♂️


  • Freespirit Graham.

    My father used to book acts for a local club, and this guy played there once. He was awful. There’s no nice way to say it, he just really wasn’t very good. He played and sang songs that nobody recognised, and did it badly. To make things worse, he was paid, but went around with his hat at the end of the set asking people for money. Needless to say, he didn’t get a good reception.

    About a year or so later, my father booked another singer, and it was the same guy going under a different name. The music night was popular, so there was a decent sized crowd already there when he walked in, and quite a few of them remembered him. My father asked him what he was doing there, and he said that he thought it was worth a try.

    He was told to leave without playing, as the people who remembered him were already annoyed, and weren’t the type of people to suffer a fool kindly.


  • As well as your chosen languages, select Undetermined too. Some Lemmy clients don’t automatically select your language when you post or reply, so if the user doesn’t notice, their reply is classed as undetermined rather than their language.

    Choosing Undetermined as a language option lets you see those posts and replies 👍


  • Pizza Hut - Domino’s - local takeaway - Papa John’s

    The Pizza Hut does fantastic pizza, but doesn’t deliver, and is too far away to get takeaway from.

    Domino’s is ok. They do decent pizza, but have been getting more and more stingy with the cheese, and are hideously expensive.

    The local takeaways all use the same supplier, and the pizzas are average. They can be amazing from time to time, but that’s the exception.

    Papa John’s opened here a few years ago, so we tried it. The pizza was so bad that none of us finished it
