@thufie I recently saw the original mouse presentation, from when they were invented, and that mentioned multiple mouse pointers.

They had the idea that several people would connect into this computer, collaborate together live on a document in the 1970s

#PSA: posting photos and videos of your kids online ensures they'll never be able to meaningfully opt out of privacy invasion.

80% of children have an online presence by age two, with parents sharing an average of 1,500 images before their fifth birthday. —2017, Northumbria University

By the age of 13, children have had an average of 1,300 photos and videos of themselves posted to social media by their parents. —2018, UK Children's Commissioner

Saw this mural in València and took a photo because I knew every person who's been injured and gone through worker's comp (or disability insurance claims) would be able to relate.

a 3D model of pebble i've been working on as a side project since march of last year! finally done <3 it honestly mostly took me as long as it did because i took long breaks from it, i wasn't actively working on this for a whole year

anyway, needless to say there's a
lot that went into this. i was learning a lot of stuff as i went, if i can get around to it i'll try to write a blog post detailing the process of making this. the blender shader this is rendered with is also made by me, i'll probably polish it up and release it on its own as the reason i made it is because i couldn't find a simple toon shader for blender anywhere online.

Anyways I'm glad I finally manifested that intrusive thought. Enjoy!

In this case there are still black-boxes on the 1:1 version except when the logo zooms out. So hopefully it was worth it in this case. I'll try to remove any builtin black-boxes from the source video in the future if I can help it (and it isn't an intentional bit).

Experimenting with "shorts". Basically I am just making a 1:1 less than standard-def version if the bit is too short to merit a full video. I think this works alright.

PeerTube still gets the original 4:3 version, but I have to take some minimal effort to reduce the black-boxes for people scrolling through YouTube shorts.

The Nintendo Wii was a multiseat desktop environment featuring an exclusive fullscreen setup. Years ahead of modern desktop computing. Why can't I have 4 little colorful mouse pointers and fight over the UI with my friends?

How to Burrito an Owl

A guide by Barn Owl Trust shows how to wrap owls like burritos so they can more easily be examined, treated and fed by a wildlife carer.

In the early 90s, safeguarding concerns were used to push young people out of queer community. There were occasional youth groups, but in general, most adult queers were frightened to talk to people 12-18. This was a bad, isolating experience as a young person. I knew gay people existed, but I was stranded in a conservative mileue.

I've been a huge proponent of all ages spaces since I was a youth.

All ages music venues are especially important.

Counterculture needs to be accessible to people who need it and a lot of those people are young.

hi! linux/systemd/alt question: is there any stable and usable alternative to systemd that can do well at least

log management
having the existence of a file as startup dependency (ie when trying to start, stay in a pending state until a file appears at a certain path)
hardening (at least the basic stuff like permissions..)

and i know it probably won't be possible with that following one but let's put it as a side note for alternatives for specifically this: an alternative to systemd timers (ie crons but that aren't shit and janky as fuck)

boosts greatly appreciated on this one, thanks!
#systemd #sysadmin #linux

love the #WP25EasterEggs light theme and dark theme alternatives alike 😀

Happy Birthday #Wikipedia !! 💖
