#linux but also #android question: are there any good apps/utilities for switching between different #wallpapers? I'm currently using a script I wrote for my laptop but if there was an existing, maintained utility (or even better a #GNOME app!) for this that'd be great :3

#AskFedi: Do any of you know of acceptable #EyeTracking solutions using just plain old cameras (or maybe the IR stuff that comes in iDevices)?
I want to play around with something really quickly, and just need something that kind of works, ideally without requiring additional components (though I have IR LEDs and some small camera modules lying around).
If you are curious, it is about this: plush.city/@hadley/11372975948…

Rendering idea: bright flashes should be drawn using a simulated persistence of vision, because computer monitors can only get so bright. And a quick, one-frame flash will inherently look very dark.✨Plush✨City 🏙
I've been looking at @Seirdy's /meta/ page and it was so cool I was inspired to follow suite.
In fact, I realized I love reading about people talking about their personal sites themselves and wished more people do it, so I made a post about it which lists some other examples I've found:

Any experienced C developers among my followers? #BoostsWelcome.
Expat, arguably the world's most popular #XML parser, is understaffed and without funding. As #xz has shown, situations like this are dangerous.
Last month, maintainer Sebastian Pipping put up a plea for help at github.com/libexpat/libexpat/b…
(I would help myself, but my C skills barely surpass "Hello, World".)

I think the #xz incident is teaching us that our infrastructure is dangerously fragile in the face of well-organized/funded attackers. The response isn’t “try harder” or “donate to your OSS project”, it needs to be institutional, professional, and at scale.So, here’s my proposal, called “OSQI”, aimed at starting a how-to discussion: tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/20…
After several months of hard work, it's a good feeling to be able to say our @fdroidorg board of directors is officially chartered and running, and finally with an official legal entity through Dutch stichting (foundation) Commons Conservancy.
💚 Very humbled to be able to serve in this inaugural group of talented volunteers, and even more excited about helping #FDroid into the future.
