Linux Mint Adding Native ‘Night Light’ Feature to Cinnamon

Linux Mint has revealed it’s brining a native ‘night light’ mode to the Cinnamon desktop. Earlier versions of Linux Mint included a third-party app called Redshift to provide similar functionality. However, when then Mozilla location service was shut down earlier this year, the geo-location capabilities powering Redshift (which made the feature kick-in at sunset for the users location) no longer worked – although the app itself still did. But Linux Mint’s developers felt that asking users to work around the breakage by punching in their location’s longitude and latitude coordinates manually was a tough ask, especially for a distro focused :sys_more_orange:

Two earliest and most distant #galaxies yet confirmed, dating back to only 300 million years after the Big Bang, have been discovered using #JWST.

Because of the expansion of the #Universe, the light from distant galaxies stretches to longer wavelength as it travels, an effect known as #redshift.

In these galaxies, the effect is extreme, stretching by a factor of 15, and moving even the #ultraviolet light of the galaxies to #infrared wavelengths.

guess I should do an #introduction too!

I'm Matt. I'm a senior software engineering manager at PayIt in Kansas City. I'm the longest-tenured engineer here and have worn a lot of hats over the years - currently I manage our #DataEngineering team.

I do a lot of #python #kafka #mongodb #etl #postgres #redshift #cdc stuff. Also #kubernetes #observability.

Outside work, I'm a husband, and a pop to two small kiddos. I like #bicycling #lego #diy projects and video games, and have two big dumb dogs.

I'm organising the #astrophysics seminar at #HelsinkiUniversity and looking for speakers - particularly outside my own field, computational extragalactic astrophysics.

So, if you're studying the solar system or #asteroids, #exoplanets, #astrobiology, #stars, star clusters or the #ISM, observing the #Galaxy, other #galaxies, or the high #redshift universe, or work in another field of #astronomy and you'd like to share your research with us in an online #seminar, please get in touch!
