opensource Timeline - FediScanner

Before you start wondering about that age — yes, that’s 100000 in binary, or 0x20 years in hexadecimal, and — as we all know — round numbers simply look cooler! ;-) Debian was founded on 16 August 1993, which makes today it's 0x20 anniversary.

Happy 0x20, Debian!

Here’s to continuous innovation, collaboration, and the enduring spirit that has powered Debian for two decades. Whether you’ve been here since the early days or just recently joined the journey—thank you for being part of this vibrant, open-source community.

Does anyone know of a Gnome extension that makes number appear under the apps in the dash? The SUPER+NUMBER activation really suits me, but I have enough apps on there that I end up having to count them half the time, so a little number underneath each one would be great. I've done a web search myself, of course, and not come up with anything yet.

(Loud horrible sound warning)

I discovered I never rate-limited notification sounds
So an error in a user-defined step function it causes the notification sound to play every time it runs, which is 100 times per second 💀

If you unmute the video you can hear the result, but keep your volume low

📢 YouTube just gave free users a major upgrade: limited video downloads for offline viewing! 🎥📲
But there are catches — low quality (360p max), capped downloads, and no music videos. 🎶❌
