I was thinking "this reminds me of stuff we messed around with in the 1990s", then I realized it's the same stuff:

I named my cat Neko as a teen because of this program!

[-] entropicdrift 2 points 9 months ago

You named your cat "cat", in Japanese

[-] themadcodger@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

That was the idea!

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

It clicked for me when the cat sat down

A demo video that's 50% package installation output, 50% early-2000s mouse cursor changer. And I watched every second of it

Hey, it's also natively available in Termux!

I really hope this gets ported to Wayland someday, I'd love to have a little neko in my computer!

[-] Coldgoron@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I was there 3000 years ago.

Wish it was possible to get this on Wayland, but the APIs aren't there yet...

[-] node815@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I use Arch with Wayland and it worked... Sort of....the idle animation was a bit busy as in it looked a lot like the frames between each animation weren't erasing, but the mouse chase worked quite well.

[-] lea@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

It works (somewhat) while your cursor is hovering over XWayland windows but once you move over something native it will keep chasing to the last spot.

[-] DJalexTheGameDev@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

For Android there is aneko and aneko plus.

[-] loops@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

Now I don't want to move my cursor

Is there something like that for iOS and for Windows too?

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

for iOS, maybe Pixel Pals?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

There are various versions, some old. Search for "neko for windows".

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

I’m definitely curious if it would work if you SSH’d to a Linux machine from iOS. cmatrix works perfectly, but this seems like it has more opportunity for error since it seems to follow your mouse, which wouldn’t be connected on most phones.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
