KDE's shake-to-enlarge-mouse-cursor feature did not need to keep making it bigger as long as you keep shaking it with no upper limit. That was not necessary. But it was 100% the right call. Whoever wrote that code: I salute you.

@alilly@solarpunk.moe “We’ll make sure you can’t miss the cursor!” I remember a joke program from many years ago that billed itself as “cursor enhancement software”.

@alilly@solarpunk.moe This feature is paramount to my workflow. I lose my cursor once every 3.9 seconds.
