I just wanted to say, I enjoyed the little pixel art cat that runs towards wherever you click immensely. It’s one of those fun, whimsical little touches that I don’t see all that often. A reminder that the internet can be a fun, whimsical place if we want it to be :)
It does: https://github.com/adryd325/oneko.js/blob/main/oneko.js
const isReducedMotion =
window.matchMedia(`(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)`) === true ||
window.matchMedia(`(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)`).matches === true;
if (isReducedMotion) return;
Same for me, on FF you can override it with:
about:config
ui.prefersReducedMotion = 0
It's doing great for being a 35-year-old cat!
I don't, but I run the same system configuration, so I can compile it on my computer, transfer it and run it.
Alternatively, if a compiler such as gcc is available, you could also run
# https seems to be broken on this website currently
wget http://www.daidouji.com/oneko/distfiles/oneko-1.2.sakura.5.tar.gz
tar -xf oneko-1.2.sakura.5.tar.gz
cd oneko-1.2.sakura.5/
gcc oneko.c -lX11 -lm -o oneko
./oneko &
cd ..
# remove all traces
rm -r oneko-1.2.sakura.5 oneko-1.2.sakura.5.tar.gzit sits when it's next to pointer. just don't move your mouse.
For the curious, that specific cat goes back to 1989:
It is distracting and annoyed me, I stopped reading because of it.
As I didn’t get that, it seems like the dev honors prefers-reduced-motion, and doesn’t display it in that case. Excellent of them, give joy to those who want it, prevent annoyances for those who hate them.
