Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I complained that a very large #python contribution to #inkscape was poorly formatted and I felt embarrassed about pushing back and asking them to run a linter over it?
Yeah I'm not fucking embarrassed now, I'm furious. 🤬
Update: Apparently they meant a small section of it was, not the whole MR. I'm annoyed, but I'll have to take them at their word.

Freedom isn’t freedom if it’s only for abled people.
Then again, there’s a reason you don’t see the word “freedom” in “open source.”
And there’s a reason “share alike” is just one of the principles of Small Technology, alongside a non-colonial approach, inclusivity, and others. (small-tech.org/about/#small-te…)

FFS, GNOME! Just wasted a day of editing video because the built-in screen recorder records screencasts at such a low quality that I ended up with keyframe artefacts / ghosting in my captures.
Bloody hell…
And is there any way to set the quality? Is there ever!
[Edit] Use OBS. (Thanks everyone in the replies.)
(Don’t use GNOME’s built-in screen recorder if you’re posting HD+ videos.)
