I shared my workflow for creating gifs with a retro feel. https://docpop.org/2024/06/my-ascii-art-workflow/

I made an ASCII version of my buddy @matthias, the creator of ActivityPub for WordPress.

Retro computer art created in ASCII and text. The art shows a man with a shaved head, glasses, and a smile. Beside his head is the word "Matthias Pfefferle". It is a white font on a black background with a moving scanline that emulates old CRT monitors.

Another version of that portrait.

FYI, my workflow on these: Build the ASCII art in Monodraw, then paste the result into "cool-retro-term" (a CRT terminal emulator), capture the screen using quicktime, then convert it to a gif in gifski.

A drawing of Matthias made out of ASCII art. This looks like it is in an old computer monitor, with bright green text and a black screen. It has a smooth looking scan-line that runs down vertically every so often.

A new minor version of Letterpress is out, version 2.1!

  • The app now uses the GNOME 46 runtime, and widgets have been updated accordingly (mainly dialogs look better now).
  • Images can now be pasted from the clipboard
  • The app was translated to Simplified Chinese.

@FineFindus has joined the project, so I'm no longer the only maintainer! 🎉 Thank you so much!

You can get the new release on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/io.gitlab.gregorni.Letterpress

https://wttr.in is a neat project to get an forcast, useful just as a low resource web app, shell+curl script, etc. Check out the docs for how to set it up https://wttr.in/:help .

For some geeky fun, type "telnet mapscii.me" into your terminal.

I'm thinking about abandoning my app Calligraphy, which can turn text into ASCII banners in different ASCII fonts. I feel like the app doesn't really provide any practical value, and the codebase has gotten quite complicated nonetheless.

Poll 1/2: Do you use Calligraphy at all?

Please answer honestly so I can tell if the project is worth my time.

Wow. Durdraw was written about in Linux Magazine's April 2024 issue! Thanks to Andy Herbert for taking this photo, and to @degville for writing the article!

Researchers used to work around content-restrictions on AI chatbots. Using this hack, they were able to get tools like GPT4 and Gemini to share instructions on how to counterfeit money and build bombs. https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/03/researchers-use-ascii-art-to-elicit-harmful-responses-from-5-major-ai-chatbots/
