#xeyes
xeyes, but it’s just him sitting in the corner of your screen staring at your cursor.

Yo brothers. I’ve been working on my quad-core again.
Still no L2 cache for the moment.

MP3 decoding, Bunny mesh in the framebuffer, X server, xeyes, analog clock with seconds, loader, CoreMark above 2 per MHz per core × 4, htop across all four cores.

Excellent write up! Thanks!

I remember a nefarious prank I used to pull in Uni where I (regrettably showed this to a few which quickly escalated) ssh to lab machines of unsuspecting friends, do an xhost, then proceed to open xeyes maximized to full screen. Horror horror

LOL.

Honestly I just like installing xeyes and running it. That's enough graphics support for me.

if xeyes is so good where's weyes

@benjae wayland reimplementation of xeyes would remove one of the more useful features (checking if an app runs in xwayland or not)

C'est Wayland qui ne parvient pas à faire fonctionner oneko, nuance.
xeyes non plus, d'ailleurs : les yeux ne suivent la souris que quand la souris survole les yeux.

mwmやfvwmにxeyesとxloadみたいなのを現代でも使ってる人もどこかにはいるんだろうね

xeyes実行しても実行中になって特にエラーも起きず、ローカル側に転送されもしない。ファイアウォールも確認したけど特に関係なさそう。

Tuli xeyes live kun kissa tuli monitorin viereen ja kyyläsi kiinnostuneena hiiren kursoria.

Wiiでxeyes。しかもコントローラーで動いてるのがウケた。

twm, maze, xeyes, muncher, and xterm all trashing the framebuffer

guess we should just do things the other way

Popping up xeyes on a friends screen at 2am in school was a good way to get them to call it a night.

Any other Unix/Linux peeps have “xeyes“ float to the mental surface seeing this?

o yeah wow even xeyes doesn't work unless the mouse cursor is over the window. i wonder if this is a gnome thing or perhaps a wayland thing. i'm not against switching DEs to stream...

follower count vs typical post

10,000 – i wrote a haskle program that prints the exact coordinates of my Pussy. 🫦

1000 – ugh xeyes has been USELESS since the devs broke it in 1997!!!

100 – umm yeah. Here's something random: Spork 🤣

10 – [quote repost of CNN] Indubitably.

1 – Hello, Bluesky! 😃

Weirdly there's no English language page for Xeyes, it just redirects to the utils paragraph of "X.Org Foundation" (not related to The Network Formerly Known As Twitter)

One of our local transit agencies implemented xeyes in the browser: www.crossingsafetyst.org

Xorgでの透過ウィンドウについてはXeyesとかいうのがまさにそれなので多分やろうと思えばできると思うんですが、Unityで実装できるのかわからんのですよね

あとWayland
