Excited to share my new work using AI to produce tons of public domain imagery.

Can someone else confirm that hovering over the photo of Kim on
uriminzokkiri.com changes the cursor to a single white pixel?
-
systwi
If it isn't just a strange thing on my end, I have a theory as to why this was done...
-
systwi
assuming it was intentional.
-
systwi
I'm using Firefox 91, by the way.
-
michaelblob
can confirm
-
thuban
.no-pointer { cursor: url(../../assets/images/no-pointer.cur), pointer; }
-
systwi
Ahh, thanks for the clarification.
-
systwi
My theory as to why this is the case is because any photos of "our glorious leader" are not to have his face/image obscured.
-
systwi
I saw it once in a documentary, a guard checked a tourist's camera and ensured the photo they were taking of Kim Il-sung's portrait was not to have lens flare, a hand in the way, etc. or be out of focus.
-
thuban
curious that a single white pixel would be preferred over either a normal cursor or a simple `cursor: none`...
-
JAA
If in doubt, it's some sort of shitty hack for IE6 or similar.
-
systwi
A normal cursor (assuming, 'leave the system's default cursor alone') has a significantly higher chance of covering his face. "cursor: none" would make more sense, but yeah, JAA's probably onto something.
-
systwi
Possibly a hack for their Naenara browser which is a fork of an oooooold version of Firefox.
-
thuban
til: uri values were included in the initial specification of the 'cursor' property in css2 (1998), but the 'none' keyword (among others) didn't make it in until the css3-ui candidate rec (2004)
-
thuban
cursory googling doesn't reveal exactly which version of firefox naenara is based on, but if it's between 1.5 and 3, you may be right about browser support
-
thuban
curious regardless (since they could have chosen to use `url` with a completely empty image) that one pixel is apparently the maximum acceptable concession to usability
-
systwi
thuban: Firefox 3.5, specifically, so that's probably it.
-
systwi
-
thuban
well, no; if that's correct then the browser would support both `url` and `none`.
-
systwi
Ohh, I misread it. I thought you meant 3.x.
-
systwi
There is an earlier version of Red Star OS that more than likely utilized an even older Firefox version, so it might be a workaround for those still rolling the previous OS release.
-
thuban
possible!
-
systwi
I'm curious too. From what I gather, theoretically, they could've made the cursor 1px by 1px and made it entirely transparent and it would've still been compatible, maybe (probably what you were saying earlier).

i was wondering, are there any regular dumps of the archiveteam wiki available for download, similarly to how the Wikimedia Foundation has
dumps.wikimedia.org ?
-
JAA
-
tech_exorcist
thanks
-
JAA
Generated daily, only the most recent one is available for download, the others are on IA.
-
tech_exorcist
-
JAA
Correct
-
tech_exorcist
cool, thanks
-
tech_exorcist
why aren't they available for downlaod from IA though=
-
tech_exorcist
*?
-
JAA
I upload them periodically, so it'll be a while before the recent ones show up.
-
tech_exorcist
no, i mean
-
JAA
arkiver: ^ Needs to be moved to another collection.
-
JAA
Also the other wiki dump items.
-
tech_exorcist
under
archive.org/download/archiveteam.org_wiki_dumps_2022, all the .gz files are marked with the padlock icon and are unavailable for download
-
JAA
Yeah, archiveteam_inbox items are locked until they get moved to their proper destination.
-
tech_exorcist
oh, i see
-
systwi
JAA: How come they're locked from even being downloaded? There's probably a good reason why, but I'm not sure what it could be.
-
Jake
I believe arkiv er hasn't moved them to another collection yet?
-
systwi_
Jake: Yes, it was noted earlier they still need to move the item elsewhere.
-
Jake
well, that's why :-)
-
systwi_
Right, I get that, but I don't understand why the downloading restriction is in place.
-
systwi_
I'm curious more so on the purpose for the restriction and not necessarily the reason why it's locked, if that helps clarify.
-
TheTechRobo
systwi_: Might be so that items that will be moved to a download-locked collection aren't temporarily available.
-
systwi
Ah, that could be it.
