SUMMARY Earth Science POTD does not load. The wallpaper is solid black and there is no description loaded in the UI. Possible cause: today's EPOD post includes more than one picture (https://epod.usra.edu), although I remember this being broken on other days too. Probably worth it to recheck tomorrow. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set Earth Science (USRA) Picture of the day wallpaper SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.9-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 3700U w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx Memory: 13.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 10 Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20NKS52L02 System Version: ThinkPad T495
Can confirm. Given the ongoing political turmoil in USA government agencies, I would suspect we can't count on the this provider working well going forward, and recommend removing it.
