@cwebber @jalefkowit !!!!

@cwebber @jalefkowit :3 well if you do end up getting one lemme know how it is, I want one too but I haven't worked up the courage to buy one

@jalefkowit @cwebber "gadzooks, proprietary software! GNU CHAIR: FIRE ALL WEAPONS!" gnu chair starts printing out the gpl

@cwebber https://mavigadget.com/products/zero-gravity-massage-ergonomic-scorpion-gaming-chair allegedly costs 5k and it apparently can also give you a massage

@cwebber my only complaint is the range of rotation assumes you're looking at it from a seated or standing position, and you can't really mount it for laying down underneath one. I've found that vesa mounts for use in bed is a criminally under served niche. You'd think this use case would be the sweet spot for accessibility tech since there's a broader marketing segment of "lazy" people, but the main thing I've found is those expensive scorpion chairs.

@cwebber just imagine rolling into a conference on one of these perfect chairs, but a custom one that's upholstered with yak fleece, running gnu/unix

@cwebber well I got one of these https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/product-details/45-248 and I leave my second monitor above and slightly behind my primary monitor, but I also leave it off unless I really need to use it. For the most part I just use it with my dev kit. It's nice because I can easily move my monitors around to change which one is more center.

@cwebber Madi has a single arm version which she modded (I forget what she changed) and has a fancy drawing tablet monitor on it. I think she's had it since college. Very sturdy.

@cwebber I miss being able to do that. Since I screwed up my neck I haven't been able to use a second screen because I gotta keep better posture for long hours of computer now or I get hurt.

@cwebber the fact that they don't really make desktop monitors that are small AND good means I have this massive 4k monitor and I run everything windowed mode. I've got ideas for a custom window manager to better take advantage of the periphery, but I don't have time for a project like that and I wouldn't be able to use such a thing on my work computer anyway.

@Doomed_Daniel @guamwatt @nyrath @cjust @USBTypeSTeve do not listen to these fools, you have to ask gargon to enable it for you

@Doomed_Daniel @guamwatt @cjust @USBTypeSTeve that's just newbie mode that has the 500 character limit if you switch it to expert mode you can write longer posts and use 𝓯𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓼

"CC signals" is so out of touch its embarrassing

POINT OF CLARITY EDIT: the CC licenses are the same as they always have been. The "signals" thing is an unrelated proposed alternative to robots.txt for scrapists to continue to ignore.

@SuperDicq i respect that you've stuck with it though

I found a screenshot of my buddy list from when I was in high school and my friends all had names like "spicycherry69", "midnightmagnolia420", "pimpinpinocchio", and "t3hCr347oR". I feel like people mostly don't bring that kind of energy to the internet nowadays

@mattl user name, but nobody else is allowed to take "aeva"

@mattl I'm gonna get a truck, and then I'm going to put letters on the truck

@mcc the largest idea you can fit in your head at once vs the largest idea you can fit in your head at once and still have room to observe yourself having it

guys i saw a post i don't like

@kojack moving to bluesky over this is just baffling to me. I haven't been able to make bluesky work for me at all. I have a personal rule of three trumps and I close the fucking browser tab, and blue sky usually blows through it in minutes.
