(That's really nice I guess, I missed the option to make smaller edits on the image directly within the image viewer without opening a separate program for it)
KDE Plasma 6.2.5 released with fix for a System Settings crash, X11 lock screen bug and more:

Radio Activity, Reaper Man, Redhead by the Side of the Road.
Nach "Tyler geht immer."-Zitat von @Buddenbohm war der Readhead schon mein 2. Buch von Anne #Tyler, hat mir gefallen! Als 1. hatte ich A Beginner's Goodbye gelesen, ist schon bisschen her, fand ich fast noch besser. #Kalisa natürlich und wie immer sehr gut, Terry [wie so viele Bücher von ihm mit fast ausschließlich männlichem Cast] war eher aus dem Regal "geht so".
"Celestis, divinitus, insania, vero", neuer Klingelton! <3 #KAOS
despite all its faults, #KAOS is actually a really good series. solid writing, excellent acting, interesting setting, good plot, and great music.
unfortunately, cancelled after first season. it deserved to go on much more than many other series.
Irgendwie hatte ich Orpheus und Eurydike etwas anderes in Erinnerung. #KAOS
Thanks to The Universe for #KAOS on #Netflix!
[Yes, this is meant as one of my #rebcommendations. It's hilarious and funny and true and all godly [or ungodly] characters are oh so human. I do learn a lot!]
Hahahahaha! Just started to watch #KAOS on Netflix, so far so good, and just googled "family tree gods" - and this came up. Quite nice but a teensy bit overpopulated, don't you think?!

Finished #Kaos.
We have been watching #Kaos this week. It's good. Has some application to the current political situation.
