be like bob vylan.

Finally, I tried attaching an additional keyboard and assigned them to a different "seat"!

That worked really well! In Weston, each "seat" has its own keyboard focus, so you can actually work side-by-side with two mice + two keyboards independently!

Also!!! The two seats have their own (independent) clipboards!!!! Whatttt! 🤯

I totally didn't expect this. But multi-seat as a concept seems deeply integrated into libinput + #Wayland! Now it's up to GUI toolkits and compositors to support it!

Whoa: Weston, the reference compositor for #Wayland, supports multiple physical independent mice at the same time! 😀

"New mouse, who dis?"

(See toot later in the thread for how to set this up!)

Is there a Mediacenter app (ie, Something like Plex, jellyfin) that can handle ISOs of DVDs, to stream them from network storage to a TV?

I want the combination of a nice looking media gallery that pulls in a movie's poster and info about the actors, etc (like Plex has it), but when I press "play", it'll mount the ISO and show me the DVD's interface, its quirky menu, etc

I know that e.g. VLC can play ISOs from a network drive, but it lacks the "nice gallery" part, and I'm not sure if it supports "Autoplay", for shows where you usually only have 3-4 episodes on each disk or the odd extra long movie split across two discs

I have a growing collection of DVDs here, and it's both convenient to digitise them in a 1:1 format without extracting the video files, and I honestly kinda miss the experience of watching a DVD, those menus were fun! It's a nice deceleration in a world where everything is "just one click away". Sometimes those three extra clicks can make for a better experience

Ah there is a DB guy with a delivery of: red lint to close off seats, emergency water and lots of toilet paper. I wish the people on the EC176 a pleasant ride 😅

Dude published a video titled "I built a rollercoaster in my lab", when what really happened is that he hired a bunch of well-known backyard coaster builders (Magictecture) to build a rollercoaster for him in a week(!) and they're barely even credited in the video for all the work they've done.

The Magitecture folks themselves seem okay with the arrangement, going by their comments on their own video, but on top of all the other sketchy shit going on around Mark Rober this is definitely leaving yet another bad taste in my mouth. Just everything about the guy feels bad and sleazy.

Another Mark Rober video, another reason to dislike the guy

Perhaps another useful set of thinking tool questions for addressing diversity and accessibility at its most basic level:

Who is not in the room? Why aren't they there? How would they feel if they knew what was happening in this room?

I think that's something that helped me a lot when trying to understand why there weren't more of x marginalized group in a room. If your looking at your workplace, org, community, fandom, etc and you realize there's no Black people there, that bares examining. If you realize there's no visibly trans or disabled people in your vicinity, that bares examining.

I guarantee you it is not because x marginalized group does not share an interest in your profession, fandom, org, etc. There's something keeping that group from joining that room. Ask yourself why that might be. Have you invited them; have you created a safe space for them?

Have you ever been in a space made for this group in question (where allies are allowed)? What differs from that space and the room you find yourself in where they are not present?

What was different about the trans pride event versus your fandom meetup?

What was different about the disability conference versus your office?

What was different about the Black artists group versus your other artist groups on social media?

Next time you're in the office, at the meetup, signing onto that app, pretend for a moment in your head that someone of that marginalized group is sitting next to you and take note of what everyone is saying and doing. Would you feel comfortable with that behavior knowing they were in the room?
