Here's an opportunity to write some FOSS graphics history, everyone: "VGC Illustration" presents a technologically novel - and having tried it I will say *artistically superior* - approach to illustrative vector graphics. It's developed by a 1 (soon 2) person team that has serious industry and technical research credentials (Pixar, Siggraph) while at the same time being fervent open source lovers and actually developing their research as FOSS since years. Boris (the lead dev) has now fully dedicated his life mission to making VGC Illustration (and soon Animation) a sustainable open source business, and all he's asking for is pretty much peanuts considering the magnitude and scope this could soon have. If the kickstarter (which started only an hour ago and is already 10% funded!) does not work out, VGC is probably dead, so I think this is a lifetime opportunity for us to give support to establish a new powerful player and unique technological cornerstone in FOSS graphics. To conclude: Please, for the love of FOSS, throw money at this! :)

Is there a way to stop MS Teams from trying to upsell me the "Linux app" every time I use the website? If there was an actual Linux app I would try it, but there isn't, and it doesn't seem to remember me saying no yesterday, or every day before.

I feel like my vibe when it comes to tech can be repeatedly summarized as "I am really happy using $X; it's basically perfect for me! it has a couple shortcomings $Y and $Z which would make it completely impractical for most people, but they don't bother me a bit"

Dear Internet,

I have old-fashioned passive speakers, you know, twisted raw ends of speaker wire on both sides. I want a device that accepts computer audio input (3.5mm jack) and has two such speaker outputs, so I can play audio from my laptop on the speakers.

Where to find?

Finally finished my first #rust project, after 683 projects that I started and never got managed to finish.

And yes, it's barely 50 lines and most of it is slightly modified copy-pasted code, but hey, `cargo run` runs fine. Definitely room for improvements though.
