Oh KDE!
Just had Plasma crash on me. Typed out a bug report, installed debug symbols, created a bugs.kde account, ... and there's an "Error submitting your bug report" (with no further details). And then the crash handler program "DrKonqi" itself hangs, and has to be force-terminated. At that point it crosses over from a sad state of affairs to just being funny.

I know that a lot of people have the opposite experience, but I have rarely experienced these famed "stability problems" on Windows, and certainly not to the level I've experienced them on Linux over many many years.
The fifth time I've had to hard reboot my system, after having installed Linux. Looks like I'm dual-booting Windows after all, this Linux-only experiment has run for months and has had its fun parts, but the results are clear.

Chalk is composed of the skeletons of countless microbes, long-dead, even their seas are now dead.
When chalk squeals on a blackboard it is the impotent scream of countless dying wraiths as their reliquaries are annihilated

An oddity in English: "island" and "isle" are unrelated. "Isle" is from Latin (insula), and came into English as "ile" through French. "Island" is Germanic, and was originally "iland". In the 16th century, scholars added the "s" back into "ile" to make it conform more with the Latin original - and people mistakenly started adding it to "iland" as well, creating the modern "island".

When there's news about bad decisions by a company/org, reading the Hacker News comments helps calm me down. I realize "at least *these* dumbasses aren't in charge, so it's not as bad as it could be".

This is a picture of the first moments of a nuclear explosion taken in 1952. The blast radius at this moment is less than 20 meters wide.
There are so many extraordinary things about this photo. First off the fact that they had a camera in the 1950's capable of such insanely high speed frame rates (they created a movie from this) that it was capable of 1,000,000 frames per second. In many ways that is more impressive than the nuclear bomb itself.
Second the fact that you can see, in real time, a nuclear explosion as it happens. Those spikes at the bottom are called the "rope trick effect" which is caused by the support cables inside or holding up the bomb. The light radiation is so intense it vaporizes anything nearby causing things to explode just from the intensity of the light itself (before radiation has any effect at all). So those spikes are literally just the support cables exploding in the extraordinarily bright light from the bomb.

I spent some time last night improving the spaces and our room directory.
I've added several rooms from different fediverse associated instances to the #Fediverse_space:qoto.org space.
I have also added about half a dozen room servers related to other instances and servers to our room search. So should be easy for you to find most rooms anywhere in the federated universe.
Again: you can join this space (or the others in the linked post) from any matrix user on any server. If you dont have a user you are free to register one on QOTO at: https://element.qoto.org

So I setup a list of maybe 30 highly active matrix rooms organized into Matrix Spaces on the QOTO Matrix server (though you can access them from an...

Matrix servers that have it enabled (including QOTO's matrix server) allow for ephimerial rooms. That is, you can set your messages in a room to automatically delete after a certain point in time. Anyone who is the admin/mod of a room can set it. That, combined with the end-to-end encryption and identity verification really makes this a win on privacy.
Please let me know if anyone needs help.
If you want to sign up or log in you can go to: https://element.qoto.org
Everyone is welcome to signup, you dont need to have a QOTO account. You can also login as a guest if you wish.
