#xsnow — Public Fediverse posts

🎉🎩 Oh, look! Xsnow's developer decided to transform this festive, #pixelated snowstorm into a #political #manifesto. Because nothing screams "change #the world" like animated #snowflakes gently descending on your #X11 #desktop. ❄️🇷🇺 #PowerToTheFlakes

I've had the carols playing in my office for a while and the decorations up, but today I remembered to start #xsnow!

@untrusem

#linux #desktop #shimeji #oneko #xpenguins #xsnow

GANG! I found something cool!!

So, these work,

apt-get install oneko xpenguins xsnow

xpenguins and xsnow have some bugs in relation to DEs heavily leaning on compositor. e.g. KDE/Plasma, penguins don't land on the window correctly.

but, in my continuing adventures to find desktop effects/pets, i found something called Shimeji, as in

flatpak install com.pixelomer.ShijimaQt

which lets you add a BUNCH more!

as always, YMMV.

Is there an alternative for #xsnow for #KDE #Plasma on #Wayland?

There are a few things that seem to happen regularly in my life that bring me #joy and warm #FuzzyFeelings

One is the #Santa hat on the #VLC logo each year.

Another is seeing my #screenshots through the years and seeing #XSnow running on my monitors in #December

Right now it's me changing my #wallpapers to something #summery since the #SeasonalDepression is leaving my body since it's springtime where I am (or at least it feels like it)

How come nobody told me that there is a new version of #xsnow, now with stars and birds, elks and moose?!!!

sudo dnf install xsnow

Pour les nostalgiques de #Xsnow, il y a des équivalents si vous êtes sous #Wayland, par exemple Snowy¹ pour #GNOME.

It's Advent so that means xsnow on my desktop and Christmas songs on the media player.

Got a good selection of Xmas brass this year from Grimethorpe and Black Dyke.

#xsnow #advent #brass

@derbadian @gmate8 FWIW there is supposedly a legit Windows version (linked from the #xsnow Wikipedia article: https://janswaal.home.xs4all.nl/WinSnow/ ).

@derbadian my favorite is #xsnow on my desktop!

Since it's now Christmas time, here is my annual screenshot with #xsnow 1.41 (more details in the picture's description)

Linux desktop, winter edition. #kde on #kubuntu 21.10. #xsnow , #falkon browser with the old xsnow web page. #elisa player with some random late-that-year music. Oh well.

(An Nachmittagen wie diesen starte ich immer mal wieder alte Linux-ISOs mit #fvwm und #xsnow, um Erinnerungen an damals nachzuhängen - und mir wieder mal zu verdeutlichen, dass technologischen Nostalgie in Zeiten anderer Probleme und Herausforderungen verdammt gefährlich ist...)

It's this time of the year again. I'd like to install #xsnow, recognize it has been removed from #OpenBSD ports years ago, search and compile the sources. 🎄 ❄️ 🎅

For whatever reason I cannot keep sources or a binary for a year 😂

There's a time to work and a time to play and a time to install #xsnow and get lost in memories for a while...
