Solving it the unix way:

ls -1 | sort -R | sxiv -f -s f -S 5 -

So it's ls -1 to list the content of current directory (presumably where your pictures are), with one file per line, so we can then pipe it to sort, with the -R option to sort randomly, then piping the result to sxiv, a lightweight image viewer available on most distro (I just checked, it's available on Debian). For its options : -f means it's fullscreen, -s f makes it scale to fit the image on screen as well as possible, -S 5 tells it to start in slideshow mode and change picture every 5 seconds, and - is to tell it to take the files list from stdin (thus from the ls and sort commands).

This won't work for videos, though, only pictures.

They are all awesome, congratulations to the artists!

My favorite would be 3, but its brightness would be too aggressive for my eyes on the dark theme, so my vote goes to 2!

Have fun! :)

This week-end, I'm painting this pentadrone I sculpted and 3d printed, after being done with my two helmed horrors (sorry, I'm not exactly an artist 😅).

Beside that, funny enough, I won't be playing a RPG this week-end, as I already do it every night of the week. :) (I play solo, so I can play as much as I want). Or maybe a little dungeon crawler with one-off characters, we'll see. :P

You're going to have a pleasant surprise, then. :) There are RSS feeds for basically everything, on Github : a repository commits, an issue/pull request activities, a user activities, your social feed (the homepage), project releases, etc. Same for Gitlab. Gitlab even recently added a RSS feed for topics, allowing to get notifications when a project matching given topic is created (example: the feed for 3d printing projects). Too bad they don't have as much activity than Github.

While it's not articles, you probably want to follow your favorite projects using Github and Gitlab's RSS feeds for repositories, especially the releases feed. I often learn more about actual trends (not just things people talk about but do not implement) by reading releases changelogs than by reading medium or press articles.

Otherwise, Hacker News (mentioned by temp_user) and Lobster (rss) both are good ways to follow news. HN is more verbose. Lobsters filters what they think is the best content from HN, but it usually comes a day or two later. One interesting aspect of those aggregators is that they help you discover websites that may contain their own rss feed.
