@debugninja@banana.dog That seems surprisingly high and I'm not at all confident in the number. There's a lot of variation depending on what part of the fediverse you're looking at and it'll be interesting to see in the long term where that shakes out wrt migration from other sites vs new projects that might prove better suited to single person/small group use.

@debugninja@banana.dog Somewhere in the 2-3% range. Higher if inactive accounts aren't considered.

Last night's cat pics. I tried to get one of her hugging a table leg but she noticed that I was about to take a picture and composed herself for that.

@deadsuperhero I wouldn't say I've done good logos, but rather than step 2, I've done the draw it on grid paper, type up the vector description, and tweak from there approach. That gets painful if it's a complex logo, but for simple stuff if you already know the format that can be easier than fighting with a drawing program (the most complex thing I've done was an elephant in METAPOST).

This morning the cat decided that she needed me to wake up so I could hear the garbage trucks. She got a claw in my nose, which earned her an ejection from the bed. I don't think she meant to inflict pain, but I don't want to encourage that behavior.

Why did teleportation become such a popular choice for moving in VR games? It's almost never the right decision.

Cat's giving me lots of head pats tonight.

@cwebber@octodon.social Misskey?

Spent some time working on a new order entry interface for Typica. I want to make this both much simpler than currently exists and also add more features. This might seem like a contradiction, but if I'm willing to redesign this aspect from scratch it isn't.

Bakery across the street gave my shop a free box of donuts as thanks for our help with their coffee emergency earlier in the day. Hopefully people noticed that the coffee was a huge upgrade from their usual fare and they set up a wholesale account to buy my coffee regularly, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

I got a phone call from my mother this morning. It was a wrong number.

@Satsuma Maybe the trick is finding two games I can play simultaneously on the two machines getting inputs.

@Satsuma The buttons don't seem to be mapped to anything unless I'm playing a game with game pad support.

@Satsuma No typing, the mouse movement is pretty fast, and it's hard to hold things steady for precision clicking, but two fingered swipes work quite well for scrolling.

Okay, this is odd. Apparently if I plug a PS4 controller into my laptop to charge while I'm playing a game the touch area is picked up both by the PS4 and as a mouse on the laptop.

@Taweret@octodon.social Of course, as you already know, he would later use these highly developed hair skills to wear fake sideburns.
