@amicalucis Man, that looks clumsy as fuck. And I gather they had to display it all proudly to the world at large too, huh?

Did this help to reduce the amount of drunks in that time? :)

Oh, right. Bitburner had an ASCII rickroll today. Fully animated too.

That was amusing and is well done.

@amicalucis Outch. I'm certain that must've been inspired by the Mayans! 😅

What did those medals look like?

@lurker Have you set up the language filter in the settings to filter out languages you don't know? That should help decrease the foreign languages a bit in your federated timeline.

@amicalucis Hahaha, no indeed. :D Though it is -borderline- with the Tsarist Russia. ;)

And I think a Mayan watch is a bit... um.. it's probably a gigantic slab of stone, kinda hard to carry around on your wrist like that. 😜

@worldsendless Mmm, you mean that the static nature of the other 2 monitors will influence the compression artifacts on the main recorded monitor that you'll encode? That might be a possibility, I've never done a recording of multiple monitors before.

I've done multiple videos in one screen before (and it's fun), but a gigantic one that'll get cropped to the areas of interest? Nope.

Protip, if you use Handbrake over the result, you can usually reduce the size even more without too much quality loss!

@rob One thing's for sure: Interaction in general helps. Whether it be bots or to other random strangers! Well, random strangers maybe a bit more, but still, interaction is key. :D

@rob Oh man, a bot in disguise! Where have I seen that before...

@rob But I wasn't responding to a newsbot, I was responding to you instead, lol. :D

Unleeeessss....

You're secretly a bot? ;)

@amicalucis I'd consider the Soviet era kinda ancient by now. :) But yes, I don't think this can be cheap, and it'll only get rarer!

@worldsendless Aha. Well, the possibility is still that you could've done 3 seperate recordings and then add the video files in the video editor as desired. But that'd still be a large file combined anyway, so yeah. Might be a bit easier to work with RAM-wise maybe. Heh, lemme know how the post-processing goes.

@rob For that I generally sometimes browse the Federated timeline and respond on toots that seem interesting enough to respond to.

For example, I responded to yours. :D And I found it an interesting perspective, so thank you for that. :)

@rob Neat! Which kind of bots would get the most discussions on their toots?

@rob Mmm, possible. I wouldn't really know because I really do block most bots since I have a dedicated RSS reader myself. I wonder if people really do interact a lot with those bots though? They usually are 0 comments as far as I could see.

@amicalucis Neat. That thing's ancient now by today's standards.

@rob Well, whenever possible I tend to block the instances that's solely bots... ;)

@Captain@octodon.social Like 'Obamacare' and 'Het kwartje van Kok'?

I... am impressed by r/place on Reddit. At the start of the day it was just a few small loose pixel images, few flags, and mostly a mess.

Now it's a whole canvas full of flags, images, etc... Mostly flags. A shitton of flags.
reddit.com/r/place/

Heh, I remember there was a Russian flag at one point, but it totally got modified into a different country's flag.

The Ukrainian flag takes the full width now, whereas it was about halfway at first.

Way up there is a whole Dutch line, that's pretty cool. :D

1000 monkeys might not produce the works of Shakespeare, but they sure can make art!
