Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin

This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

A KDE powered device of some sort. Laptop? Phone? Media boxen?

They died. But it was unrelated

I don’t understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.

This is such an interesting development. I bet a lot of dirty laundry is about to be aired.

Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)

That article is light on implemention details. It talks a lot about the legislation itself, and ways in which it might be implemented.

Pot – kettle

If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.

Yes, but how. The details matter

Hi, it’s me. An actual scientist. Did grad school in planetary science. The same techniques we use to spot asteroids are the techniques used to spot satellites. But removing them is even simpler. It’s not algorithmically hard at all.

In fact, it’s so simple that I’ll write it out: take several images (at least three) in quick succession and take the median value across those images.

Oh hey, that was easy. Makes a good despeckle filter too for cosmic ray strikes or whatever else.

This is a pop-science problem and not a real science problem. Any astronomy imaging system worth its salt has image stacking algos that remove transients easily enough.

You may not know what you’re talking about, but floating cities in Venus would be baller. ;)

Okay, but: why is the screenshot a KDE code snippet? ;)

Wake me up when pyside is on that list. I’ve been waiting for this day for a decade…

Ah shit, a switcheroo!

Is this unmodded? I’ve never played it, and this screenshot alone intrigues me enough…

I have this Tshirt

I get groans

Even more amazing that it was found in the era it was. People were pouring over the skies looking for the next big planet, and instead they found this little guy.

There are still some orbital dynamics suggestions that something large and dark is lurking out there – an ice giant. But it’s still largely conjecture. It’d be interesting to see how they define it should they find something very large (say Neptune mass), but it hasn’t cleared its orbit. Is it a planet or not? :D
