I have this very simple #Python script that uses #imageio to convert all PNG files on a folder into a #GIFAnimation, and this is a #FreeSimpleGUI version of it (I usually run a command line version).
As I usually run #gifsicle on the command line after creating a GIF, I decided to update it to add #pygifsicle to do it for me and save a step.

Maybe someone can explain this to me.
An #EU citizen trying to access Facebook today faces the following choices (see screenshots).
In there, they say that they are asking this again to comply with #EU rules, and yet the question - and the options to choose from - are the same they had in the past.
So, hm, how does this make them comply with something they weren’t complying before? What’s the detail I’m missing?

#MusiQuinta 65 - Pra testar fone de ouvido
Uma boa colaboração é quando o resultado é melhor que a soma das partes… e assim é com o Altar que juntou Sunn O))) e Boris.
Um disco bom para ouvir com fones que gostem de graves, como se constata logo na primeira faixa do album, Etna:
Dois vencedores portugueses no Wiki Loves Folklore 2025, na categoria dos prémios regionais “Northern & Western Europe”!
Os #Caretos de Lazarim e o Carnaval de #Lazarim, em #Lamego, foram premiados nesta competição, pela qualidade e originalidade de 2 fantásticas imagens. Muitos parabéns aos autores Filipe Salgado e António Alves Tendim!

Podemos continuar a fingir que somos só espectadores no #genocídio em curso, mas é só isso mesmo que estamos a fazer: fingir.
Um exemplo mínimo de como usar #Python para ler dados de uma planilha #Excel com a biblioteca #openpyxl e como modificar um arquivo #Word com a biblioteca #docx

O nosso papel no #genocídio em curso é este. Que vergonha.
Agora que as ondas de calor já passaram e já consigo ter a casa outra vez a temperaturas aceitáveis, já tenho coragem de pegar nesta #leitura de #verão: #Portugal #2055 (#BD Portuguesa sobre a #criseclimática).
Vi um artigo (quase publicitário, mas ainda assim interessante) sobre a nova fábrica de discos de #vinil em #Portugal.
O artigo é interessante, mas o número que me chamou a atenção e merece destaque é mesmo uma nota de rodapé já quase fora do tema…

Pessoas da comunidade brasileira de #ProgramaçãoCriativa por muitos anos fizeram encontros sob o nome promovido pela Fundação Processing, os chamados #ProcessingCommunityDay, fizemos encontros em várias cidades e então depois de 2020, com a pandemia do COVID-19, fizemos três eventos nacionais muito inspiradores em 2021, 2022 e 2023 (vide https://compoetica.github.io/links/)
Ano passado não conseguimos fazer e este ano pretendemos retomar, só que usando outro nome: #Compoética. Vamos aos poucos divulgar mais sobre o encontro brasileiro de programação criativa em https://compoetica.github.io/CP2025/
Meus agradecimentos profundos ao @guilhermesv@guilhermesv que dedica generosamente um enorme esforço para organizar esses eventos da comunidade e cria o design e peças de comunicação sempre emocionantes de lindos.
𝗙𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗿𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗼 📚
A Câmara Municipal de Lamego volta a promover a 𝗙𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗿𝗼 📚👩🏫 no Parque Isidoro Guedes, oferecendo um programa enriquecido com uma grande variedade de atividades culturais.
Este evento, que funcionará numa 𝗹ó𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘁í𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗼 à 𝗹𝗲𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮, constitui uma das grandes apostas, na vertente literária, desta autarquia, decorrendo de 12 a 20 de julho.

Mais uma derrota contra o uso comum.
46 Mapas debaixo do sol!
“O #JornalMAPA 46 sai para as ruas já com um partido fascista como segunda força política no parlamento da democracia representativa e não podia deixar de olhar para esse fenómeno, assim como ao à vontade da extrema-direita grupuscular. Por outro lado, porque é quando se fecham portas que se abrem janelas, decidimos focar especialmente em lugares de dissidência. A luta queer é um dos exemplos da importância de reclamar a origem utópica e radical das resistências. E hoje, contra o pinkwashing dos EuroPrides, afirma-se a solidariedade com a Palestina, que nunca será esquecida.
Neste mundo e num país em que o autoritarismo ganha força, importa manter um olhar sobre quem procure activamente fazer a sua vida de outro modo cultivando a autonomia. Nesse ponto não podíamos deixar de destacar o recém-saído documentário «Agroecologia em movimento», de João Garrinhas, um retrato sobre o movimento português das Associações para a Manutenção da Agricultura de Proximidade (AMAP), sobre grupos auto-organizados de produtorxs e consumidorxs. Entrevistamos, ainda neste contexto, a nova revista Poucaterra, que pugna por acesso à terra, agroecologia e convivialidade (uma leitura a juntar à revista Flauta de Luz, com o nº 11 já nas livrarias).”

Hm…
Spent an absurd amount of time searching for the “update fork” button on #gitlab’s web interface.
Why? Because it turns out you can only see it if you are in landscape, in portrait view the button simply does not exist…
As feiras medievais são “reconstruções históricas” do que nunca existiu - e ainda assim espalham-se pelo país como momentos de convívio e folia. Em Lamego tem a particular característica de ser promovida como contendo uma recriação histórica das #cortes de Lamego*, ainda que estas nunca tenham existido.
Mas para mim a feira #medieval de #Lamego é aquela altura do ano em que vou até à praça e bebo #hidromel. E quem diz que essa não é uma boa tradição a manter e celebrar? ;-)

FRIENDS I GOT A PHYSICAL COPY OF A TUX GAME LOOK AT ITTTTTTTTTT
E por falar de figuras a quem o Observador dá voz…
Ao saber que o tema desta #musiquinta ia provavelmente ser a #estrada veio-me logo à cabeça o disco Spectre dis Laibach: não só o CD rodou imenso comigo mas gravei-o para cassete para ouvir no carro, e desde então (até ao carro ter ido para a sucata, muitos anos depois) era a cassete que tocava nas nossas viagens mais de 90% das vezes.
E como o musiquinta não é sobre discos mas músicas, e o tema não é sobre o que se ouve na estrada mas “qualquer música que mencione viagens”, então a música deste disco que escolho é a “Walk With Me”. Uma canção (e todo um disco) com já mais de uma década (o tempo passa!) mas com uma mensagem importante para os dias que hoje vivemos.
“Later in the evening, posting on X, #Macron said: “I’m banning #socialmedia for #children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let’s do it.”
French authorities are already progressing with efforts to force certain social media sites — including X, Reddit, Bluesky and #Mastodon — to introduce age verification, by classifying them as pornographic websites.
French measures forcing porn sites to verify their users’ ages came into effect on June 7, prompting the world’s largest porn website, Pornhub, to stop operating in France. Demand for virtual private network services, which allow users to trick websites into thinking they are in a different location, immediately surged.”

Trump Amplifies Another Outlandish Conspiracy Theory: Biden Is a Robotic Clone
Zolan Kanno-Youngs, White House Correspondent - The New York Times
