For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

AutoHotkey is a good way to just have your mouse move a bit every 2 mins.

Loop {
    MouseMove, 1, 1, 0, R
    MouseMove, -1, -1, 0, R
    Sleep, 120000
}

FYI I work in cybersec and if your company uses any sort of EDR like Crowdstrike on the company machine we can easily search for and find AHK running if there's cause. We don't search things unless there's a sec alert, but there are tons of false positives. I wouldn't report it if I saw but YMMV. Policies also vary.

Much better to use a hardware jiggler. I think the Flipper Zero has an app for it that makes it work over Bluetooth.

or just get an oscillating fan and connect your mouse to it by a stick or something.

Haha or build an entire robot arm that just moves your mouse for you :)
