"Comme toi, j'aime la douceur, les câlins et les caresses. Savoir que quelqu'un me protège. Comme toi j'aime jouer avec mes copains, et parfois faire des bêtises ! Comme toi j'ai mon caractère. Je suis unique parmi tous mes semblables. Et même si nous sommes tous différents, j'ai comme toi un cœur qui bat."
Une famille de lapins, un cochon qui joue dans la boue, un mouton malicieux au milieu du troupeau, une chèvre qui aime bondir dans les champs...
À travers la composition subtile et pleine de tendresse de cet album, l'enfant comprend en un clin d'œil que les animaux ne sont pas si différents de lui... et méritent respect et bienveillance.
Un livre qui éclaire de manière bienveillante notre proximité avec les animaux.
À partager avec tous les petits !

On my odyssey to find examples of AI making software companies more productive instead of as an excuse for layoffs, I stumbled on the Tiny Teams Hall of Fame.

Notable entries to me are Cursor with $200M ARR with 20 employees and Midjourney also with $200M ARR and just 10 employees.

Instagram had 13 employees when FB bought it in 2012, for a billion. Whatsapp had 55 when bought for 19 billion.

Lets be clear; changes to tax laws do not 'force' the wealthy to leave the country.

The wealthy are choosing not to increase their contribution to the country they are (currently at least) living in.

Sure that is a choice they are free to make, but its their choice; no-one is forcing them into anything.

They already have enough money, so refusing to pay higher taxes is a choice about what they wish to support in their (for now) home country!

They are not victims!

@diekenbrock
> there is also citizenship-based taxation

This is new to me, but I presume the idea that people pay tax on all their income, regardless of which jurisdiction its earned in (in practice or in theory). How does it work for those with dual citizenship?

@strypey @diekenbrock

The US tax system has (I believe) an allowance for claiming tax has been paid on earnings already (via various double taxation agreements) so that citizens whose earning are taxed by other countries only pay one slice of tax not two



Pope Leo tells world not to forget suffering in Gaza

“In this dramatic scenario, which includes Israel and Palestine, the daily suffering of the population, especially in Gaza and other territories, risks being forgotten, where the need for adequate humanitarian support is becoming increasingly urgent,” Pope Leo said in a weekly prayer with pilgrims.

Plasma 6: display brightness changes on its own


Hi, please kindly direct me to the right community to ask this:

Plasma 6 is my favorite DE and i use KDE neon.
The screen brightness adapts automatically to the windows i focus on, which is a good idea. But it does that the wrong way IMO. Dark windows are dimmed and bright windows are lit up. Why? Now i have both extremes switching back and forth all the time. Can we turn that the other way around or turn it off please?

I like that the screens hardware brightness setting is used now from the desktop. Great! But now i have no control over it anymore, since when i open a bright window, the brightness setting goes up too. I hate that at night.

Usually adjusting the brightness for me has one purpose:
- bright room: max display brightness (day)
- dark room: min display brightness (night)

...maybe something in between for transition.
All the other features are nice to have but please only work on them when this main feature is secured.

I believe you're talking about the challenges discussed here: blogs.kde.org/2024/09/04/brigh…

If both monitors are messing with your sensors, you may just want to disable adaptive brightness and manually control it. They don't seem to have a workaround for it as of yet.

in reply to klay1

That's probably the new Extended Dynamic Range setting from Plasma 6.4. You can find it in the display settings. It is meant to adjust the display's brightness to emulate an HDR display.
