I'm pretty tired of picking the "lesser of two evils" and would like to try the "better of two goods."

Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers

It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld.

Another thing we did last weekend in Berlin: redeployed Cinnamon’s seasonal clock, with some adjustments so that there are matching emoji for every hour of the day: https://seasonalclock.org

(this is a global clock where it’s the same ‘hour’ everywhere around the world, e.g. I am posting this at blossom hour, no matter where you are. It is a scheduling toy for an existing group of friends.)

You know when you have a video loop, but to make it loop something disappears in an improbable manner?

And you think, that's a shame, because I really like this little clip.

And you could crop it so, for example, a bird doesn't disappear in mid-flight, but then it looks unbalanced so you need to find some unobtrusive way for the bird to disappear so it appears natural?

Yeah. That.

I think I need a quiet lie down.

We really ought to call it synthetic reality

testing new brushes with silly frogs

begging every website developer to set zoom to 200-300 and/or the minimum font size to 30 and look at their website on various devices.

(personally i usually use 120-140% and a minimum font size of 14, and i ALREADY have these problems.)

i hate that websites all have a floating header now that follows you when you scroll.

because of font size and website zoom, that means on many pages, i have about half the space left for the actual content. HALF. and my zoom isn’t even all that big. i am going to lose my fucking shit one day. just do normal websites again. i do in fact know how to scroll back up if i need the header
