> "pairing it up with a pen you can use it for all sorts of artwork projects too."
Making a pen for all kinds of artwork that's well built, supported by the OS and painting applications, precise, with pressure sensitivity, good overlay and without input lag is a big challenge. Especially on GNU/Linux. I hope this is more than just a toy pointing device and can follow the hand and sensitivity of a trained artist. I hope Tuxedo will provide specs and demo for this aspect.

Performance improvements in Nextcloud Hub 8 🚀
We improved both the frontend and backend for a faster, more capable, and more energy-efficient platform.
👩🏽💻 New database sharding
💾 Improved read-after-write behavior
🏋🏽♀️ Frontend efficiency updates
👇🏽
These sound like nice improvements.
It would also be nice to not be forced by Nextcloud onto a centralized, proprietary, monopoly surveillance platform to see them.
Peertube is a thing. So is Pixelfed. Heck, even on Mastodon, short videos are a thing.

The unsung hero of the Olympic-champion US women’s gymnastics team is a very good boy
Beacon, a golden retriever therapy dog, was a crucial part of the Americans’ preparations for the Olympics as he helped soothe athletes’ nerves
"With his fluffy butterscotch coat, eyes as soulful as Leonard Cohen and the official credential that hangs around his neck and reads “Goodest Boy”, Beacon has earned celebrity standing in both gymnastic and dog-loving circles."
