whoever implemented KDE's "waggle the mouse to make it bigger" thing and decided it should have no end point of getting bigger should win a software engineering award

@iliana Forwards compatible to the 32K screens of 2032

@iliana
The funniest thing that almost certainly they didn't write it to do that

They simply didn't write code to make it not do that. Kudos for omitting that code

@charlotte @iliana nope, according to another reply, this is on purpose

@EeveeEuphoria
What I'm saying is that they didn't add code capping the magnification
@iliana

@charlotte oh yeah? well what i'm saying is i'm petting you gently

@charlotte @EeveeEuphoria whether the decision was intentional or not i think they still get the award

@EeveeEuphoria
Neoskunk emoji when

@iliana
Yup. The cursor not being vector graphics is also extremely funny
@EeveeEuphoria

@charlotte @iliana it's funny too cuz the cursor was originally a much smaller bitmap file, so even the base maginifaciont had glaring pixelation until they updated it lol

@EeveeEuphoria
@iliana probably was a while ago then lmao, I have always used standard (100%) or smaller magnification settings

@EeveeEuphoria @charlotte @iliana Not to be an asshole and take away your fun. But doesn’t this mean that it can technically cause an overflow? Shouldn’t it be capped at max float?

@iliana iirc this was a "it's not a bug it's a feature" situation

@iliana nm it was on purpose

@leo do you have the commit handy

@iliana https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/0a5bd7397bfce7c880bd8d783349d3985091e6e5

@leo @iliana That's just making it so that the cursor has a minimum magnification from the get go (so when the wiggle triggers it jumps up to a certain size), it doesn't change the way to grows without bound.

Edit: Actually I think it just makes it so it can't shrink until after a timeout. So it still doesn't change the limiting factor, just makes it more consistent.

@iliana I love it ! It took a couple minutes of vigorous wiggling to get it this big at 4k. It can get bigger still!

@EeveeEuphoria @charlotte @iliana it always felt like it was an intentional oversight as a fun silly Easter egg that doesn't end up hurting anything

@iliana Now I am having another problem. Can I wiggle my desktop to find it?
