I was tempted to do this with my tux sticker, but when my wife saw me sizing it up she kiboshed it.

"I'm not having a terminator penguin stare at me everyday. "

If you sit next to her instead of across you can torment her with terminal stuff like I do mine :)

I recommend aafire or sl if you have those updated and ready

Is the arrow part of the sticker or did you take a screenshot of an unplayed video?

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think it was a faulty upload to imgur based on the comments I've seen. I'm not sure the SOP for uploading gifs here.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's a gif, but a gifv which are correctly treated and controlled like a video stream by browsers.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 5 points 8 months ago

I'm sorry :( it's just a blinking red light terminator style.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Lol no worries, i found the imgur link

Apologies all around for the hassle! I'll do better next time.

[-] tpyo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

My app played it just fine, so it may depend on what client individuals are using

Posted from android mobile using boost. Idk if that helps narrow things down.

I've been looking for a T-800 sticker with half his face off for ages for my Thinkpad. Never found one.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 8 months ago

Trust me I browsed for a LONG time. Ended up just drilling out a standard issue alum badge

[-] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Isn't it literally called a Thinklight?

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 8 months ago

I hope so.

[-] Exec@pawb.social 4 points 8 months ago

The thinklight was the spotlight embedded into the top of the screen that lightened up the keyboard (before backlight keyboards were a thing)

[-] lemmeee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Nice sticker. I wonder if there is one with a gnu instead of a penguin.
