The government told them to turn the heating down 3Β°, to waste less electricity. So to please the government, they cranked up the AC to blow cold air everywhere until the temperature is exactly 3Β° lower, than it was previously.
I'm being frozen alive while typing this. π
I know some dogs have blue eyes, I think it's usually light blue and according to the first few Google results, the probability also depends a lot on the breed.
Inugamies are a fictional race, so there's obviously no biological answer there, just the observation that they are drawn with big black eyes like mine has, in anime.
I actually have blue eyes in real life, but unlike most, if not all blue eyed canines, mine are dark to the point of almost not being blue.
I still think the other style might look better in some cases, like when Difro, the artist on the site I linked uses those eyes, because they always animate their art and need eyes that blink. For these animations, the bigger eyes just work better.
I also like the hint of color they have, because I always wanted to give my inigamis eyes a hint of blue, to make him a little different from other shiba colored four leged inugamies. I know - probably not necessary, as he's already rather specific, but it's also a bit of a reference to an old slavic/pegan god Chors, who was in some videogames depicted as having glowing blue eyes.
I thought it'd be interesting to remake an older pixelart, that was way too "inspired" by Difros (https://difro.carrd.co/) work, to match with one of my friends profile picture at the time drawn by Difro.
Now I wanted to return to it and try making all the changes I regretted not making back than and in general make it more than a somewhat edited copy of someone elses work.
*They still look somewhat similar, because some changes were already made in the first edit from 2021. It was never just a re-color of someone elses art.

I can recommend Ashampoo WinOptimizer, because it's an old classic, trusted by users and companies for many years. It's paid, but the devs are friendly and are always giving away free licenses for older versions of it at https://chip.de .
The only downside is that (as the name suggests), it only works with Windows.
It did and probably still does have a free Android version, but last time I checked, it was very basic. If your Android phone doesn't already come with an optimizer app installed, I'd probably recommend SD Maid instead. It's free, but a small one time donation is required to unlock all its features.
Sadly I don't know if there are any good trustworthy optimizer apps for other operating systems, but maybe someone else does and can join this conversation.
Whenever SW goes unused for too long, it gets uninstalled and I manually hunt down and delete all the cache and trash files it still left on my precious SSD.
I always make sure to uninstall all pre-installed junk from any device. I browse in incognito, to not waste my memory with cookies, history files and browsery junk.
What little junk spills through I run over using the Ashampoo WinOptimizer, that itself I optimize to ensure the most optimal optimizing.
All canines drawn reside in the cloud, I don't even have them all backed up locally, but I always use 5+ cloud/FTP services, just to be absolutely sure they're safe.
Yes, my "technical minimalism" might be getting slightly out of hand. π€ͺ
Also the url https://yarn.social/app still mentioned on a few places (like the Gitea) now gives a 404 error when accessed.
The previous (9 x 9) version of my profile picture was actually made primarily to be used on the canvases of the pixelart games played at https://rplace.tk , https://plaxe.chetbox.com and similar sites.
This one was made to see how small can I get, but it already found its place on two of these sites, one is even in a space so tight, the one pixel longer version wouldn't fit there.
Saying a few days might have been a bit misleading, as it was not entire days, but just some time during those days, usually alongside watching YouTube or listening to music.
Doing so, he proved that a smaller version is possible, but while I liked it, I wanted to make the changes elsewhere. Mostly because shortening the legs always leads to people calling me a corgi.
Than there were two or so days, when I spent some time playing around with it, but only came up with bad looking results.
Yesterday I was once again trying to break my art block by drawing something big, though that led nowhere, so I returned to the smallening project, while I still had the app opened. That's when it finally came together somehow - in part thanks to getting rid of the collar.
Canvas: 8 x 8

So if someone has a public wallet, you can send them tokens with their address or other things they don't want public and it'll just be there forever, visible to everyone.
*the "art" "attached to" them can, the tokens themselves cannot
It connects to the Internet (WiFi), but it has it's own OS, rather than Android TV and the microphone requiring features like Alexa are turned off by default.
It also asks if you want cookies before you start using it and doesn't make saying no to them difficult.
What I was referring to was KiwiFarms helping to find people from a leaked zoosadist Telegram group, some of who were also harming children.
Obviously those actions don't in any way justify the actions of those, who used the site to spread addresses of their enemies, have people go after their jobs or make it easier for swatting to happen. If the site disallowed posting peoples addresses, things would have probably never gone this far.
The problem was mostly their obsession with doxing everyone.
*a lot of these articles are edited by Frederick Brennan, who has in the past worked with the guy behind KiwiFarms, but hates him since then.
The top line shows the 8 most recently used colors, so you can return to them easily. The basic colors are always on the left, but on the right you get 6 variants of any color you're just using. Under it are the tools, needed to get colors from the image you're working on and tweak the values of the currently used color.
So as you can see, most other apps would have to implement quite a bit of changes, to make their apps the main art app of people who have a workflow similar to mine. And this is still far from a complete list of my "requirements".
This isn't a criticism of this app. I like it and hope if helps more people find joy in the creation of pixelart. I might even use it myself for some pixelated doodles when I'm online. I'm just saying it probably won't replace my main art app any time soon.
It also doesn't look like placing transparent pixels is a thing. That usually isn't too much of a problem while drawing, but it makes the app unusable for other edits, that I usually also use these kind of apps for.
A part of my inactivity here can also be blamed on Google, as their last update to Android (12) broke the drawing app I'm using to draw all the pixelart I post here. Currently the only working solution involves having to run a virtual machine with an older version of Android on my phone.
It's not as impractical of a solution as it sounds, but I'd still prefer if Google could stop breaking compatibility or the developer fixed the app. At least it works now and my laziness/artblock are once again the only things to blame.
Or at least that's what some universities here are already considering.
The answer to this question turned out to be 48 pixels (on a 9x9 canvas).
I know it's a bit hypothetical coming from me, with my relatively agressive adblocking settings, but I was fine with ads, before they became the intrusive privacy nightmare, that they are now.

Chromium is also a security nightmare, with critical vulnerabilities having to be patched on almost weekly basis, so at this point I'd love to see at least one engine starting from scratch and having the funding and team, allowing it to eventually catch up.
Still when I need to test sites at work, I often just use the browser I mede, because it doesn't cache everything and it's not filled with cookies, so one can actually see how the site currently looks and not some old and broken cached version.
It's amazing the competition is so shitty, that despite all their sabotage, one student with not much time was able to make a browser, that may not be able to compete, but is still somehow more useful for webdev.
They still found a way to make Odysee even more of a scam:

It getting kinda mainstream isn't a bad thing for me either, as that's kind of the goal. It needs more mainstream people to grow and become a real alternative to Twitter.
Though I wish it'd attract a different kind of audience, that isn't so happy to report/demand that anything they disagree with, has to be blocked for everyone.
There were many accusations towards the site m, some saying this was the only instance, ever braking Mastodons (A)GPL license and not stopping when asked. Thought I don't remember in what way exactly.
It is also controversial for having all kinds of integrations, that judge links and people to determine who is "fake news" and who is not, as well as banning whole countries they consider bad, from using any part of the site and going on long rants about how that's totally different from racism or nationalism.
It's also known for it's weird side-projects, that now seem to include some kind of a VR game/metaverse, among other only slightly less strange things.
I still have to use a lot of programs for university, that only run on Windows and are straight up impossible to run on an M1 Mac. I'm not blaming Apple for this, just saying that having Mac/Linux as your main machine is still difficult at best and impossible at worse in this country.
Windows is about as closed of an ecosystem as Mac and some things can be customized/edited , more than the average user would assume.
With the new Microsoft Defender no longer being just a meme and some other security improvements, Windows is no longer as virus riddled as it once was, though it's still no doubt very lacking compared to Linux and Mac in this aspect.
I still think the Gab guy is completely brain dead and delusional, but at least he managed to make the Twitter-like frontend, some other instances where also able to get some use out of and his site "works" on most devidlces.
With Trumps social network, it only "works" as an iOS app*, with not much active development happening, especially for something "in beta". It's so lame Trump doesn't even post there himself, despite being banned from most other places and him being addicted to Twitter in the past.
*with Android version "in development", but web version no longer mentioned anywhere
I think one can absolutely have a good reason to hate a company, that produces things they don't even use. The best example of this was Microsofts Internet Explorer, which for decades made lives of many web developers a living hell.
Some web developers argue site rendering on Apple products can still be somewhat lacking (even outside of missing codecs) and working in that area now, I can confirm a few sites had to be changed to show up right on Macs, though to be fair I don't know what exactly was causing it.
Also damn Apple, I really hope they learned how to finally make screens, that don't come off when cleaned.
Believing me, I've seen this on almost every other Macbook, back during my internship in Ireland. π
Cheap shots (and there are many more) aside, part of me would still like to give M1 Macs a fair try, so if any of you work high positions at Apple and my approval is for some (even to me unknown) reason somehow really important to you, feel free to send me one of those machines for free and I might retract some of what I said, at least when it comes to Macs. π
Well correctly made or not, if you "install it" directly from a browser, I don't think it'll be as separate as I'd want it to be (not saving shit into browser history, cookies, fill-ins...).
What AppsGeyser does isn't creating a PWA, that's poor wording on my end, but even with well made PWAs, like https://app.revolt.chat, wrapping the web apps site through AppsGeyser ended up being closer to meeting my needs, than using it the intended way, despite it still being even further from native.
I'm also still more than a bit skeptical about going from native to webapp. The webapps on Android tend to open in Chrome and to make it worse, with no option to disable history or other bloat from being saved through it.
I'd love to be proven wrong, but so far I haven't found a PWA that'd work for me right out of the box, without me at best having to wrap it in it's own small browser that isn't chrome, through one of those rather sketchy sites like AppsGeyser.com.

Also I'm already unhappy that there's only one big organization, with the monopoly on top level domains and I wouldn't want to give them any power, that they could use to censor things later on.
There's also a trick with Google Drive, that can be used to join random organizations, that made their thing too open and if you choose one with stupid enough admins and name your folder on there something sneaky. It's a bit of a Russian roulette and it can get deleted at any time, if you get too cocky with it, so I obviously wouldn't recommend using it for anything too important. π
With dogs it's probably even more of a thing, as I've seen them recognizing voices of those they know during videocalls or otherwise interacting with random stuff on TV.

The 64 x 64 limitation on the other hand, isn't that much of a problem, when it comes to this artstyle. This very image is still 63 x 44 at it's original size (excluding the white outline) and my profile picture would fit outline included.
If you really wanted to maximize the amount of canines per a 64 x 64 canvas, you could even comfortably fit 16 of these on there. π
I don't think any online news sites should be paid for. There's already enough needless monthly subscriptions on the Internet as is.
However I don't mind having a few state owned/public radio and TV stations, funded from TV licenses, like we do here. These stations usually provide the best news coverage, debates and documentaries, as well as some basic coverage of sports, good enough for most people.
It's also good that there are now laws, prohibiting them from inserting ad-breaks into shows, unlike the commercial ones, that often insert so many of them, that the station becomes unwatchable.

now have a Ukraine flag ribbon on the top left corner, that I made using

Maybe the biggest problem of them all is the idiocy of the average reader. If people could develop basic critical thinking skills, no conspiracies would ever have to be suppressed and no "walled gardens" created.
It's similar to Apples reasons for going against sideloading, to protect less experienced users from being tricked into downloading viruses onto their devices. When in my opinion educating those users would be the only correct way, because it's the only way they can become experienced and get to enjoy some of the more advanced features and experiences the Internet has to offer.
