This is such a cool video! Yes, it's about juggling, but it is even more about the history of animation and all the many times juggling was portrayed. Good fun!

We don't need more software infrastructures.
We need to find ways to infrastructure and institute otherwise.
We need to end fossil fuel extraction now.

I have just made my first-ever contribution to KDE fixing a bug that affects me personally.
Thanks so much to @BrodieOnLinux, @justin, and a KWin dev for helping me get this far. As a legally blind person who relies on KWin's zoom feature to use a PC at all, it really means a lot.

As 2024 marks the resurgence of RSS and Atom, I decided to update my rudimentary RSS tools from 2007 to make them contemporary and works under Python 3. The release v1.0 marks this step and allow everyone to use and improve the RSS toolset.

@orbite if you have any interest in science-themed topics, maybe you'd be interested in making a portrait of a giant virus like mimivirus, for example? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimiviru…
I could use it in my science presentations, so it would get good use 😀

"In responding to Sagan, Thorne pointed out that venturing into a black hole, with the hope of finding a spatial shortcut to elsewhere, would not be a good idea. Astronauts would be stretched like taffy due to its intense gravitational field, bombarded by lethal energy released by infalling matter, and accelerated to a dangerous level like the most unsafe thrill ride imaginable."

in reply to Justin • • •I didn't have access to a debugger, because of the way I had to run Kwin. My IDE also refused to give me any error-checking, auto-formatting or code completions. So lots of messing up, waiting for kdesrc-build, and rebooting when I broke something to get back to a usable PC again.
Not sure why CLion hates KDE's projects...

Just having the ability to highlight text and send it to something like speech-dispatcher would be helpful for me.
Also a Breeze OLED dark theme would be nice. Black backgrounds are always better than dark gray, but a traditional High Contrast theme is too much and too ugly for me.
