Inspired by @drakulix, this is my fresh look and layout for COSMIC alpha 3.
in reply to Carl Richell

I would be curious about a TLDR of what big stuff was improved since a few months ago and the Alpha release.

For the pre-alpha testers that would be really cool.

Also what about that keyboard?

I really love the Coke/Pepsi and fear mongering that comes with it every 4 years in US during election time.


I keep thinking about the part in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry for the Future" where an eco-terrorist group starts shooting down private jets

Great to see Harris enjoying spreading her message. She’s speaking to labor in Janesville, #Wisconsin. youtu.be/261KmTeUQM8


So very powerful: @NicolleDWallace makes a public plea to her former boss, George W. Bush, to speak out in this election. Thank you.

Got the HCMS-2914 connected and it's adorable. Everything seems to be running pretty well, but the 14-segment seems to flicker more than it should be. I'll track it down once the new encoders come in. #electronics #arduino
in reply to Jason Weatherly

Figured out why the 14-segment was flickering and it was due to the +5V rail. I had put the 5V boost converter onto the 3.3V line coming out of the Feather M0...this is definitely not ideal. So, instead of powering the boost converter off of the 3.3V, I've attached it to Vbat which has fixed all of the power delivery issues.

Just installed @fedora 41 (KDE Spin) on my @frameworkcomputer laptop!

Have to say it couldn't have been easier, I did a quick backup, clicked update in Discover, rebooted, done. No issues, just like any other update that roles in. #linux
