This particular velomobile has a fully enclosed top made out of either glass or plastic.

hand drawn icons for github, codeberg, forgejo, gotosocial, and linkedin. They all use flat colors with no highlighting and are very clearly free-handed as they are very simplified versions of the actual logos and mascots.

I drew some word art of a motto I'm living by lately. Drawn in krita on my starlite tablet running Debian Trixie :) I couldn't decide what looked better, so here's both versions. #ethics #starlite #krita #fediart #art
Pale spring green word art that says "Do what is ethical" with small text that says "even if you suck at it!". The word art has little circuit tracers in it and beside the word "What" it has a large green heart with it's own tracers. There are accents of purple internally and blue + neon green outside of the art.The same word art from before, but this time the main color is neon green rather than pale spring green, and the heart is smaller with less pronounced tracers.

Ik heb een Computer Bijbel gevonden op de vrij plank in mijn buurt. #computerBijbel #computers #retrocomputer #nederlands #askJeeves #computerHistory
Een foto van een boek met de titel "Computer bijbel", en tekst: "Alles wat u moet weten over Windows XP, internet en e-mail, Google, digitale fotografie, websites en weblogs. Inclusief kennismaking met Windows Vista, een handige woordenlijst en een overzicht van sneltoetsen. Onmisbaar naast iedere computer!"

De boek is roze, zwarte, groen, en blauwe met computer graphics van Google, camera, muis, e-mail, en laptop.Een photo van een pagina 206. De titel is "Definities zoeken" en de tekst is "Een router is een apparaat dat in een netwerk wordt gebruikt. Maar wat is het precise? Met de opdracht: define:router krijgt u een flinke lijst met Nederlandstalige definities op het scherm.

(Google vindt definities van moeilijke begrijppen)

Er is een foto van een oude Google zoeken  in Nederlands. Er is an link dat zegt "Het Internet" op top.Een photo van een andere pagina met meer zoekmachines: Google, altavista, lycos, en Yahoo. Er is ook een kleine blurb dat zegt "Wat is PDF?"Een photo of twee paginas met screenshots van oude Yahoo en Ask Jeeves. Er is een blurb met tekst: Wie is Jeeves?"

Screenshot of my terminal showing me running fastfetch, cding into a python project directory for onboardme, running a fake command, running ls, and then running toilet to print "we did it! We used fish :3"

The background is a dark purplish blue and the colors used for the prompt are mostly dark gray with green, cornflower blue, and light lavender pop color fonts on the left and then the reverse on the right.

The prompt shows my friend@compufam, a debian logo, my current directory, the branch of my git repo and what the status of it is, the duration of my last command and result if failure, the version of python, the k8s cluster and namespace, and the time.

When I ran fastfetch, it printed a photo of a white samoyed with glasses, a tie, and a smart watch, using a macbook.
