@underdarkGIS What's your perspective on the "QGIS Hub Plugin" vs "QGIS Resource Sharing" plugin? As far as I can tell, the main difference seems to QGIS Hub is a centrally hosted (with some sort of approval process?) whereas the Resource Sharing could load from any known repository URL.

@rjhale1971 Sounds like resetting the TV should be on the list of things they do to the room between guests. That, and making sure the clock is set to the correct time, and making sure the clock alarm is not set to 4am.

@lavaeolus I think "no data" is probably the case. If so, it would have been better to use a neutral color like white or black or gray.

Do you think the magenta pixels represent values off the high or low end of the scale, or are they "no data" values?

Does this mean the Catholic Church about to return to becoming the world's largest funder of the arts?

October 2, 2026 tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads "In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

@rjhale1971 Sounds like a good time! "Hell Hole hails from the filmmaking family behind Hellbender and centers on an American-led fracking crew that uncovers a living French soldier frozen in time from a Napoleonic campaign, whose body hosts a parasitic monster."

@rjhale1971 Back in the previous century, my father took us to find a cemetery in TN where some distant relatives were buried. Just up hill from a place the locals called "Moonshine Holler". That was the last time I ever saw my mother crawl under a barbed-wire fence.

A student in today's QGIS workshop was running into weird problems on her computer that didn't make any sense until I realized she had set the Magnifier to 10%, which brought basemaps to a crawl.

@underdarkGIS It would be interesting to have a plugin that tracks (locally) how many times you use various menu items and toolbar buttons. There are definitely many buttons I never use!

@underdarkGIS I've generally not liked the ribbon in other programs, where they completely replace the tradition menus (which I find easier to use). However, your screenshots suggest to me that the ribbon could be a better way to organize toolbar icons. I like that the most used tools (like […]

So Internet Archive, Open Street Map, and Zenodo all currently getting hammered by fucking AI bots. Core pieces of research infrastructure under threat. And those of us trying to keep resources online for the public become the unpaid servants of the mega-rich AI shysters.

I'm going to be taking a person who uses a wheelchair to a wedding in Ohio. Apparently, the venue for the reception does not have an accessible restroom, so our backup plan is for me to drive her to the nearest truck stop which is ten minutes away. #accessibility
