I can’t speak for rural Moravia because I don’t live there but from what I heard they get really drunk on slivovitz (plum brandy). The whips are made of 8 (or thereabout, the form varies) willow or dogwood twigs. The way I make them, they are very flexible and don’t hurt at all and I don’t use the thick handle without the bows but I know people some people do. A good sign is that women in our village don’t run away: this means that they have realized they are more likely to hurt themselves in a chase.

Anyway…

That’s Klaasohm in Borkum.

Yeah, women’s rights are OK on paper here but then they’re expected to show up for this (and be thankful and offer eggs, chlebíčky and alcohol in return)… At least they don’t really get hurt. As for trans rights, this tradition is way older than trans visibility so instances of crossing gender norms are handled on an individual basis.

So I can subscribe for 1 month, download all the exclusive content, and then turn my membership off/back on based on the value I think I’m getting?

media.ccc.de is a great specialized “streaming service” too, mostly supported by NewPipe (oddly not Grayjay yet). I can understand German decently so I don’t have issues with the bilingual content. If you like Chaos Congress talks, you can also try DEFCON and other ones available on YouTube but I didn’t feel like including any of them because they’re just uploads of slightly different kinds of media, much like HBO’s Last Week Tonight channel I also subscribe to.

Because I manually download videos to watch on the bus or train (thanks Grayjay & NewPipe), most of my subscriptions are for long-form, often listenable content:

Retro Tech: Techmoan, Technology Connections, Posy, Janus Cycle, CRD, Ben Eater, DiodeGoneWild, pannenkoek2012, videolabguy, Adrian’s Digital Basement,The Science Elf, previously LGR and 8-Bit Guy/Keys

Science: Kuvina Saydaki, BobbyBroccoli, Numberphile, Computerphile, carykh

Tech News & Discussion (not always long-form): Louis Rossmann, Mental Outlaw, Brodie Robertson, SomeOrdinaryGamers, Asianometry, Atomic Shrimp, previously Thunderf00t

Urbanism: Not Just Bikes, Adam Something, Alan Fisher, Tramly, BritMonkey

D&D Story Narration: CritCrab, Puffin Forest

Bold channels are most underrated imo

If you really want a prebuilt one, of course.

Person who invented sorting algorithms watching you sort by new “to avoid algorithms”:

(yes, I’m also guilty of milking the ancient computer science vs. venture capital vocabulary joke)

Thanks! Finally a suggestion.

Edit:
“Ripped” from a fx “natural display” calculator’s shutdown screen (except the ® is smaller to fit)

Made wider and probably closer to the real proportions:

3310’s aspect ratio:

A rare logo so wide it only uses 13 rows!

YouTube versions are already compressed and lacking in detail. It’s really best to generate locally. If the work computer is running Windows, you can use the geq filter.

ffplay -f rawvideo -s 1920x1080 -pix_fmt rgb24 /dev/urandom

Bosses that capture the screen to monitor your performance LOVE this

They can! They are all licensed under CC0 (public domain dedication) and so are almost all of these

The Maxchanism oughta do it

You are correct, thank you! This also shows I wasn’t imagining the different “m” I used in “blamba.de”.

Also, $42 for a font that a hacker group used widely (so it’s presumably Creative Commons)?

These are more like wallpapers (although most phones that support them also support actual wallpapers and often also “screensavers”). The boot logo can be customized on some models by flashing a modified ROM using weird cables and programs that don’t work on modern Windows. Here is a video about the 3310 specifically

Idk but they used to use the font a lot more in the 2000s. I can’t see it outside the homepage now but I found videos and magazine scans using it.

It’s really tiny. Here it is at 8x scale, in WEBP to save space:

convert kitty.gif -filter point -resize 800%x800% kitty.webp

Yup. This will not work on Android, iOS or “post-J2ME” feature phones. However, we still have 2G in most of Europe so the old phones can be and often are still used.

The 3310 and other 84x48 models are special for using a non-square pixel aspect ratio, approx. 7:8. Logos in green were designed for such phones and will look vertically squished on color screens.

Flood-filling with a pattern is very easy on a technical level, even Nokia 3410’s picture message editor can do that automatically. You lose half the resolution by area (pixels are basically √2 bigger on each side and in a 45° grid) to get a shade of grey. The hard part is knowing when such a sacrifice is worth it and when not (not often for a height of 14) and to guess or A/B test which phase of the pattern preserves most detail. Sometimes you want more complex dithering or even combined with an outline like the glossy FreeBSD logo.

I couldn’t fit the weirdly underlined 𝚂 in a circle so I combined the initial and logotype. Yes, probably should have omitted the 𝚜 like I did with ⓔlementary.
