#cursors — Public Fediverse posts

🤣 Oh look, another riveting novel-length #documentation on #cursors, because clearly, we all have nothing better to do than memorize the encyclopedia of "Subagents" and "Bugbots"! 🐜🤖 I'm sure those "Security Agents" will protect us from the horrors of accidental command palette usage. 🙄💻

🚀 Ah, #SpaceX, known for its groundbreaking rocket science, has now decided to delve into the riveting world of #cursors. Because, obviously, what the space industry really needs is a $60B pixel on the screen. 🙃 And "enable JS, disable ad blocker"? Sounds as futuristic as dial-up internet! 💾

Custom cursors: I don’t think I’ve ever seen an implementation done well—they _always_ seem to make it harder to navigate.

What makes people so sure custom cursors are improving the user experience?

To be sure, cursors _really_ need usability tests—so if it cannot be tested whether a custom cursor works, it seems better not to use one.

🤔 Ah, the #Ki Editor—because regular editors that don't "operate on the AST" are SO last century. Now you can wield #multiple #cursors like a #coding #wizard 🧙‍♂️, as if having more pointers will magically code for you. But hey, at least you can finally avoid those grueling mouse gymnastics 🤸‍♀️!

dear #nix beings who love custom #cursors:

I was thinking about starting a nix repo with a bunch of publicly available cursors, porting their build system to nix and exposing their customizable options to some nix functions

is this something? would it be useful?

Wii Pointers As Desktop Cursors
Primm made a number of high resolution images of the system cursors the Wii uses, for use as desktop cursors on Windows, macOS and Linux, and in four colors corresponding to the four player Wii remotes. You can get them here!

Boing Boing: Try cursor dance party: a silly, fun website to relax and interact with cursors. “If you want to play around on a silly website for a few minutes, then check out Cursor Dance Party!. You’ll be taken to a screen with people from around the world using the site too. The only form of interaction amongst users are their cursors.”

I managed to take one of my favorite cursor themes, Posy's Cursors, and decided to turn the whole theme into SVGs. Considering that Hyprcursor supports SVGs, I've also made configurations for Hyprcursor, supporting white, black, mono, and mono black!

Just over two years ago, I wrote about a free and open source classic Pokémon cursor theme. I am still using the cursor on my main workstation, so it gets my continuing stamp of approval.

I just got asked a very interesting question: let’s say you want to create a really stunning website and part of that is that you change the mouse cursor to various custom cursors, like arrows, pointers, crosses, buttons, whatever, when you move it around or hover over things.

How can you make sure the website is still accessible? Given the website is still fully keyboard-accessible, is there anything particular to consider – like fallbacks, user-specific settings, etc? 🤔

About custom cursors: https://ericwbailey.website/published/dont-use-custom-css-mouse-cursors/

TLDR: "One of design’s primary goals is to make things usable. Choices that don’t prioritize usability mean you are practicing decoration, not design."

Have you heard that CrateDB v5.2 now supports cursors for backward scrolling? 😎

#Cursors are an important #feature that allows for more precise control over data manipulation, and with backward scrolling support, you can easily access and manipulate data in reverse order without manual iteration 🔄

Check out our latest #blogpost to learn more about this feature and how it can make data processing more efficient ⬇️
