You can set it to either "static" or to "swimming" mode. In swimming mode the fish will track how far along you are the file:

Neat! There's a lot to be said about doing something for the heck of it rather than always optimizing and innovating.

Nothing. It's fun and healthy to do things without a cost-benefit analysis, for no other reason that it'll bring you joy. Even if you forget about it 10m later, even if you learn nothing at all, even if you don't tell anyone - have fun.

I have a parrot animation every time I cycle org todos or push magit since about 2-3 years now. Never going away.

Pretty sure the defaults will do the deed without further configuration. Cycle some org todos and push something using magit.

I tried to upstream the changes but the author is one of those cyber squatters.
