Changed my writing-dedicated box from running to -- I like cwm, but it's still a bit too mousey for my taste.

I also changed all of my fonts (both xterm and i3/i3status) to be bitmapped (the "fixed" font), so everything is looking REALLY crisp.

Maybe I'm getting quite crochety, but at this point, I think I'd much rather have a lower res screen with crisp bitmapped fonts than a crazy high-res screen and vector fonts.

The only thing I'm missing is . My i3status looks like
cpu 31% | load 0.80 | mem 9% | dsk 13.4% | net Gallifrey 82% | chrg 89% 0.00W | Sun 2024.05.26 06:42 AM

instead of
cpu 05% | 📈 load 0.29 |  28.5% |  disk 59.7% |  Gallifrey 67% |  Sun 2024.05.26 06:42 AM

There was a time when I ran my business with this and had my number printed on my business cards. A pioneer in its' day for a lot of things, especially interoperability amongst platforms. I had an earlier, shorter number, but couldn't login after a reinstall once, so setup another account. That's the one that stuck all those years.

Confession of an Amiga enthusiast back in the day: I always liked the black and white hires mode of the Atari ST, which to me looked slicker than even the original Macintosh. And I still love that "printed page" experience of environments like Medley Interlisp.

Quick last couch update for this week. I'm off to see some Elfes and Hobbits this weekend. :)

I'd like to finish this before attending the convention next week. Or I'll do some more at the booth. Will see...

This looks really cool. An e-paper like screen but running at 60fps and apparently no ghosting? Can’t wait to see this in person.

Yes, you can host Git bombs on Codeberg.

No, we are not fond of this idea.

We are currently looking into countermeasures to get Codeberg back on track.

I hate politics and I generally try to avoid positing about it for my own peace of mind. But it's nauseating to see how some people in the world refer to him as "president". He was as "president" and came to power as "democratically" as all those who sent their condolences including but not limited to:

  • Taliban (Afghanistan)
  • Putin (Russia)
  • Xi (China)
  • Bashar Asad (Syria)
  • Lebenan militia
  • Iraqi militia
  • Erdogan (Turkey)
  • Rafael Grossi (IAEA)

Decide for yourself!

@RL_Dane
At the end of Obama's term, he declassified some documents showing how USA orchestrated the coup. But still some major parts were blacked out. I imagine what they did is so severe that still after 70 years or so, they still don't have the guts to release the full documents of what they have done and what damage they have caused.

I'll leave this link here just in case other fedizens don't know what you were talking about:

Windows has traditionally included hidden media called Easter eggs. Many referenced the team working on a particular version. In 2002, Microsoft ended the practice via its Trustworthy Computing Initiative. In 2022, a 35-year-old Windows 1 Easter egg was found by @mswin_bat. 🤯
