@Wrewdison @thegibson @erosdiscordia Yeah, clear contact paper has worked for me for years. The key is to nearly cover it with stickers over time and it comes off in an intact sheet eventually (your mileage may vary. but I've accumulated 6 of these things now)

I just re-read The Sandman no. 18, "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" with one of our cats (Cosmo) laying on my chest and the irony was not lost on me

@cinja @Wrewdison @thegibson @erosdiscordia Not really, it's not all that stretchy. Especially not with a lot of stickers as another layer on top. It's pretty robust vinyl

@Wrewdison @cinja @thegibson @erosdiscordia I have been trying to spread the gospel of clear vinyl shelf liner on laptops for many years, now

(Cosmo seemed pretty pleased with his situation and uninterested in eating me, but you can never be entirely complacent)

@thegibson Yeah, I saw that and thought it was a surprisingly great adaptation!

@signal9 well that's a mood :)

@maddiefuzz omg right?! I had this exact literal thought when I hacked together this thing, a few years ago. I was like, wait, this is SOHCAHTOA

@spigot Those would be two different communities. An explanation I've seen around the concept goes something like this:

Imagine two instances, each with a community for local news in a city - e.g. chicago.il.us/c/news and sanfrancisco.ca.us/c/news. You can participate in each of these communities from either instance, but the full URL is important.

So to be discoverable, you need to have the whole domain like !ynab@lemmy.ml - the community is headquartered on lemmy.ml

@nelson I think many (most) content sites are botching their approach to this.

But, also, machine learning projects are abusing free APIs by hoovering up everything in sight to digest and repackage as models. Seems like everybody sucks here

I kinda miss the era of cartridge based console gaming where the games themselves came with expansion hardware like GPUs and audio and suchlike

@brion Ohh I hadn't thought about that! Or like, Thunderbolt cartridge with an absurd e-GPU

@signal9 These are things I like! A TWSBI Eco is my "daily driver" though I favor boring Noodler's Black or Heart of Darkness (I keep meaning to play with more colors)

@Greg Yeah, like even back on the NES, companies like Sunsoft would embed enhanced audio chips in their cartridges for some really great soundtracks

Had lunch out on the deck. I brought some raw nuts and was periodically visited in turns by a scrub jay and a squirrel. The squirrel hung around and splooted on the deck. The scrub jay gave me a little whisper song. That was pleasant.

I keep trying to get a good recording of a scrub jay whisper song. It's very quiet and it kinda sounds like turning a radio dial through a shuffle of other birds' songs

@brennen It's kinda like that but all in bird language

@rckenned Yeah, it's funny, scrub jays are like either an 11 or a 1 in volume
