Reminds me of a Robbie Burns quote (allegedly) about, "There goes a bow legged man." to which Burns replied saying, "No there goes a man with his balls in parentheses."
The astonishing scale of supermassive black holes, with masses ranging from 100,000 to over 60 billion times our Sun's. This visualization compares the sizes of black hole shadows to solar system objects, featuring giants like Sagittarius A* in the Milky Way and the colossal TON 618.
To all my followers and everyone celebrating worldwide, I wish you and your families a joyous, peaceful holiday season. Merry Christmas! 🎄Stay safe. Stay warm. 🌤️
"Varia supports some basic functionality you'd expect, such as resuming incomplete downloads upon relaunch, but right now doesn't support saving files outside of your default download directory. I want to change this in the future while still having a minimal set of permissions with Flatpak."

Big game changer for me is that it doesn't support saving files outside of the default download directory. Anything to do with 'Flatpak' is of a concern to me as well.
I'm an Arch user, so before I come across as disingenuous, I need to clarify that I just like to stick with 'pacman' as much as possible so that my install stays as "clean" as possible. Most of the time If I can't find something in pacman I can get it in the AUR. "Varia" isn't found in the AUR yet and in such cases I'll go to github and install it from there.
Fair enough, I guess each to his own. If you use a distro of your choice and apply a methodology that works for you, then far be it from me to tell you how to do it. Enjoy.
The entire day, I was looking for a word that describes self-realization. I knew the word, but I couldn’t remember it. I asked Google. I asked AI. I didn’t get any suggestions correctly. It was driving me crazy. A few hours later, my brain made enough neuron connections to correct part of the hippocampus to recall the word I sought. How amazing is that? The word I was looking for was “epiphany.”
So what was it?
"The manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi." or "A moment of sudden and great revelation or realisation."
Just a bit grammar Nazism, if the quoted words end with a full stop, then the full stop goes inside the quotation marks. If the quoted words do not end with a full stop, then the full stop goes outside the quotation marks. 😂 😂

OpenWeather is my other main one, but this is unfortunately broken for Gnome 45. 😪
Other minor ones all working:

It's actually beyond comprehension, I don't know what else to say... That 90% of the worlds population is enslaved by a handful of people and banks, (with control of 99% of the worlds capital) it's just not sustainable for much longer or is it? My numbers are a thumb-suck perhaps someone here can help me out. 😀
It was released 40 years ago, the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984 . So if anyone here answering the question was, say 10 years old when they first used it, they'd be in their fifties now. A bunch of old farts here, on Mastodon. By the looks of things anyway. 😉
I am assisting in making a wiki for an old game, and we ripped the avatar GIFs from the games shop and want to have a catalog of them. What I need to do is to crop all the borders which are identical from 3,170 GIFs and maybe make background transparent....
Open GIMP
Go to "File" > "Open" and select your GIF.
Select the "Crop Tool" from the toolbox.
Adjust the crop area to your desired size.
Click the "Crop" button.
Go to "File" > "Export As" and choose GIF as the format. Save your cropped GIF.
FFmpeg
Use the following command to crop the GIF, replacing input.gif with your GIF's filename and specifying the crop dimensions:
As a matter of fact I did not. That's a pretty cool factoid indeed. I've read that songs like "Man of War" and "I Promise" didn’t make the main album because it didn't quite fit the album narrative/theme. "Man of War", as far as I know, wasn’t quite finished, during the time that the "OK Computer" sessions were happening, but I never knew about the reason you mentioned that Thom Yorke gave.
I've been using Arch for at least 17 years and it's never [sic] "crashed" on me. The only time it's ever broken was when I did something (most often against my better judgement, knowing full well that it was going to cause problems.) or that I neglected to do something! As for the others, I've only ever used Ubuntu for any real length of time. Other distros, basically a cursory glance, not much more.

Not that many replies, so I'll just add this: To everyone involved, "Keep up the good work, and thanks for an outstanding Office suite." Cheers
If this new NES themed mechanical keyboard from 8BitDo was compatible with Linux it'd be chefs kiss for my Raspberry Pi 4 setup (which lives in a NES style case with swappable SSDs in NES cart enclosures).
Programmable keys and only $99 - mmm, total sweet spot!
At $99 pretty reasonable but in my money (SA Rand) almost R1800.00 this amount before the importer slaps his mark-up on the item. I could only dream. 😢
