Rosy<p>Question: is there anyone here who has successfully gotten an animated cursor to work on their website? I'd like to know the simplest way to do this.</p><p>I tried looking it up but most of the articles are about making a cursor from scratch. That's not what I'm trying to do. I have the cursor already, I just want the animation to play. It's this one, if it matters:</p><p><a href="http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/swan" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">rw-designer.com/cursor-set/swan</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm a complete noob at this.</p><p><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/neocities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neocities</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/nekoweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nekoweb</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/PersonalWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalWeb</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieWeb</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmallWeb</span></a></p>

They were both dystopian speculative fiction, not quite <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> but I think that’s the search term that fed them to me.</p><p>First was I think from northern UK, and it featured an orphanage school for special children who were kept isolated from the rest of society. They seemed normative, but the public viewed them as creepy aberrations. For Christmas they got a donated load of broken toys and other old cast off junk, and each year they looked forward to “a bumper crop” of that. “I hear it’s a bumper crop!” The children were being raised for a shocking purpose.</p><p>Next one featured a post-apocalyptic society of hunter gatherers, living in the jungle and hunting with spears made from old industrial parts. Every month a drone flew over and dropped a shipping crate of consumer goods like sneakers. One day a brave heroic girl decides to catch a ride on the drone to see where it comes from, and why they keep delivering these shipments.</p>

Janneke<p>As the fediverse seems to become more popular, more and more frequently I see great posts on my timeline that include an image without ALT text. So sad!</p><p>Disregarding the sadness, when I think the message deserves spreading, I usually first add a response with the ALT text, and then boost the original post (with the image without ALT text).</p><p>Is that OK?

However, in this case I'm producing a raster dataset where the cells are distributed in a “warped” area (think aerial imagery with non-affine transform from data matrix to geo coordinates). I have arrays holding resp. the latitude and longitude of each pixel, and can add it to the dataset, I can specify the GCRS (lat/lon WGS84), but I can't seem to be able to find the metadata to add to the raster so that the goelocation arrays are correctly identified as such.</p><p>Online there seems to be only sparse documentation about this, generally implying that this is only supported for specific dataset types in specific formats (usually, the standard format from common satellite data) and the only pages I've found on how to “roll your own” refer to a single old-ish mailing list contribution that recommends the use of a sidecar VRT file. Are there any more modern solutions possible?</p>
Sexybiggetje🐖<p>I'm looking for a small table <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/grill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>grill</span></a> mainly for vegetables for this summer season.

Then there are these ceramic japanese/korean ones nowadays, but I'm afraid because of their cheap prices that it's cheap ceramics?

Kit Bashir<p>Extreme <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a> long shot, I’m thinking of a Young Adult novel published some time in the 1980s. </p><p>It’s a portal fantasy set in what appears to be mid-C20 rural UK. A young boy is telekinetic and learns that using his power causes a dimension slip. He teaches the skill to a girl. Together they slip to a place where they find the wreck of a legendary lost wartime fighter plane that had dimension slipped when the pilot (an ancestor or uncle?) desperately tried to telekinetically control his crippled aircraft. There was some kind of evil overlady who tasks the protagonists with something involving an endless stairway into the sky. I think it was titled “the roof of the world” but i’ve found no evidence of its existence and also every rich dickhead who ever paid some nepalese to carry them up a mountain has used that title for their inevitable ghostwritten autobiography. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>

Timo Kramer<p>I've been tasked with (read: I volunteered) to buy some Ma'amoul to hand out in celebration of Eid al-Fitr, but websites online are sending mixed messages on how best to keep them fresh over the weekend: room temperature vs cold/frozen.
