How to display Typewriters properly?
You can certainly keep them out on shelves and rely on occasional dusting.
If they're in a dustier-than-typical room or you have compounding factors, like the presence of cats or dogs (like my German Shedder, I meant German Shepherd), and don't want to go the route of traditional fabric-like dust covers, you might consider doing a thicker plastic/acrylic cover which will give you a clear plastic layer of protection, but still show off your machines.
I live in Los Angeles and there are half a dozen places that do this sort of custom plastic work all the time for very reasonable rates. Searching for "plastic fabricator memorabilia case" along with variations of plastics (acrylic, lucite, plexiglass) should get you what you want locally. (Here's a few examples I've used in Los Angeles before to give you an idea: https://solterplastics.com/, https://www.plasticfactoryinc.com/, https://www.customacrylicproducts.com/, https://plexidisplays.com/). Search for something similar in your area for easier communication and cheaper pick up/shipping.
If you search around for companies that make plastic displays, particularly for memorabilia (baseball bats, baseball cards, etc.), you can have them design and make a custom sized clear plastic box/enclosure that will keep the dust and dirt out, but still allow you to see the machine inside. If done well it may actually make them appear more precious because you've taken the additional precaution.
Enclosed glass shelving is also a potential solution as well, but requires a larger investment and also requires more work to rotate machines out for regular use.
Most of my machines get daily use, so I'm not really using them for display or presentation purposes (except for one machine which sits on our library card catalog, but even then, it is frequently used as a standing desk, for occasional poetry by everyone in the family, or for guests who want to try their hand). I go through lots of index cards, so I'll usually temporarily protect against dust, dirt, and fur by slipping an index card on top of the hood or slightly into it to protect the segment.
But at the end of the day, as long as you haven't used WD-40 or some other lubricant on your segment and typebars (and what typewriter monster would do such barbaric things?), you should easily be able to go long periods between dustings and still have a highly functional machine. After all, who hasn't bought a machine full of dirt, dust, White Out, and eraser shavings/crumbs that still works like a dream?
It may bear brief mention for those who display their machines and forget, that you might also disengage the paper lock/paper release lever which will release the tension on your rubber rollers against the platen so that they don't go "flat" or become misshapen when not in use for long periods.

Other than the traditional fabric-like dust covers, you might consider doing a thicker plastic/acrylic cover, particularly if you've got several machines and are using them for display purposes.

we are certainly special I mean 00:02:57 no other animal rich the moon or know how to build atom bombs so we are definitely quite different from chimpanzees and elephants and and all the rest of the animals but we are still 00:03:09 animals you know many of our most basic emotions much of our society is still run on Stone Age code

insights
- evolutionary paradox of modernity
- modern humans , like all the living species we share the world with, are the last mile link of the evolution of life we've made it to the present, so all species of the present are, in an evolutionary sense, winners of their respective evolutionary game
- this means that all our present behaviors contain the full spectrum of the evolutionary history of 4 billion years of life
- the modern human embodies all major evolutionary transitions of the past
- so our behavior, at all levels of our being is a complex and heterogenous mixture of evolutionary adaptations from different time periods of the 4 billion years that life has taken to evolve.
- Some behaviors may have originated billions of years ago, and others hundred thousand years ago.
- evolutionary paradox of modernity
-
Examples: humans embody full spectrum of METs in our evolutionary past
- fight and flight response
- early hominids on African Savannah hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago when hominids were predated upon by wild predators
- cancer
- normative intercell communication breaks down and reverts to individual cell behavior from billions of years ago
- see Michael Levin's research on how to make metastatic cancer cells return to normative collective, cooperative behavior
- normative intercell communication breaks down and reverts to individual cell behavior from billions of years ago
- children afraid to sleep in the dark
- evolutionary adaptation against dangerous animals that might have hid in the dark - dangerous insiects, snakes, etc, which in the past may have resulted in human fatalities
- obesity
- hunter gatherer hominid attraction to rich sources of fruit. Eating as much of it as we can and maybe harvesting as much as we can and carrying that with us.
- like squirrels storing away for the winter.

If you have a Thunderbolt Display, this is what you want.
Another (of many) good confirmation.
-
Does not work with 27-inch LED Mini-DisplayPort Apple Cinema Display.
OK. Mini-display doesn't work. As indicated on the product's box with a glaring red X.
-
I have 2 27 inch Apple Cinema displays, both identical in everything except for the technology in their display connections. One is Thunderbolt 2 and the other is Mini Display port, both share the same exact connection but use different tech for signal throughput.
Nice to know: Thunderbolt 2 vs. Mini Display port.
-
TLDR; you have to set your video camera and microphone to your laptop sources to get good quality when in a video conference.
Too bad. I was excited to learn it would for my new M3 laptop. But I need the display's camera to work for Zoom conferences.
-
when using Teams for video conferencing my video signal from the camera in the display gets severely crushed/pixelated by the dongle. It’s like it only has enough throughput to send the image to the monitor, not back to the computer from the camera. I just use the laptop camera. Otherwise works great.
Wow. Good to know. Probably another overpriced made-in-China product making a huge profit in the Apple ecosystem.
"Low throughput"?

i'll ask now maurice to tell us a bit about his work
- = Maurice Benayoun
- describes his extensive history of cognitive science infused art installations:
- cognitive art,
- VR art,
- AR art and
- art infused by AI (long before the AI artbots became trendy)
-
-
title = What can cognitive science bring to art and museums?
-
Comment = Maurice Benayoun has applied cognitive science, VR and AR too many at installations throughout his life.

dsmdavid commented Mar 8, 2021 @tchakabam if you right click on the status bar, do you get many options? Might be worth not showing some of the other options (in my case the line/column was not shown because there were too many options already there) and, after unselecting one:
Post about status bar in VS Code (visible at bottom of window by default).
I looked for this since I couldn't figure out the column numbers of where my cursor was in the editor.
You can toggle this setting by opening command palette and searching "View: Toggle Status Bar Visibility"
Displays Ln & Col numbers.

the thing is about vision, same with the ear, you can only see a few at a time in detail, but you can be aware of 100 things at once. So one of the things we're really bad about is, because of our eyes, you can't get the visual point of view we want. Our eyes have a visual point of view of like 160 degrees. But what I've got here is about 25, and on a cellphone it's pathetic. So this is completely wrong. 100% wrong. Wrong in a really big way. If you look at the first description that Engelbart ever wrote about what he wanted, it was a display that was three feet on its side, built into a desk, because what is it that you design on? If anybody's ever looked at a drafting table, which they may not have for a long time, you need room to design, because there's all this bullshit that you do wrong, right?
!- insight for : user interface design - 3 feet field of view is critical - 160 degrees - VR and AR is able to meet this requirement

Alternate index card holding furniture for display?<br /> https://www.reddit.com/r/antinet/comments/wffvs4/alternate_index_card_holding_furniture_for_display/
Separate from boxes for long term card holding storage, does anyone have any suggestions they like for organizing or temporarily displaying cards?
I've got a couple card tray rack organizers (originally intended for playing cards, but great for zettels) which I generally like.
I've also seen Levenger's note card "bleachers" which are similar, but more expensive. - Note Card Bleachers - Portable Note Card Bleachers - Nantucket Bamboo Compact Bleachers
Levenger index card bleacher for compactly displaying index cards in an array on a desk so that portions are visible but that they don't take up space.
Does anyone have anything else they like for compact working/displaying aside from laying cards out on tables/desks?
Do you have other methods for this sort of organization or layout of ideas visually? Corkboards, magnetic whiteboards/walls, other?

How do you know this? I've looked all over the internet and can't find any proof that Lightdm is more "lightweight" (whatever this means) or faster.

LightDM always felt rather sluggish to me. gdm3 appears to be a lot more snappy.

A display manager is the component of your Operating system responsible for launching your display server and the login session. This is the reason it is sometimes called the login manager. The layout of the screen that you see while entering your username and password(the greeter), your login session and user authorization are some of the tasks that the display manager performs.
-
-
-
A display manager presents the user with a login screen. A session starts when a user successfully enters a valid combination of username and password.
-
They all have about the same functions. Just use lightdm, or gdm if you're using gnome. Lightdm has all the same functions as gdm (gnome display manager), but it doesn't require gnome libraries.

The confrontation with technology at the level of creation is what distinguishes electronic literature from, for example, e-books, digitized versions of print works, and other products of print authors “going digital.”
Confrontation with technology as a way to elaborate and create literature differs widelly from just using tecnological devices to display literature.
