There is a new (and really good) TUI browser — chawan, it has decent CSS support and also supports Gemini, it can display images if your terminal emulator supports sixel — and for some reason it even supports WebPee. Yeah, I know… I should patch it out.

Sorry for not providing a link, I'm on my phone, you can look it up on SourceHut. The browser itself is defitely worth checking out, among terminal browsers I think it's as good as elinks if not better.

I'm thinking of deleting my Deviant Art account, but I'm not sure its recovery email account still exists 😂

@StefanThinks
Would it come to Netflix in 4k? 🤔

@amoroso
Yes, most probably so, but marketing that thing as "thin" still feels weird to me.
And I don't think I'm alone… There is a certain user review mentioned on its page:
"Come on, HP, now you're just being silly" — April, February 2021

There are quite interesting specimens listed there, like HP t740:

CPU: AMD Ryzen Embedded V1756B 3.25-3.6GHz (8 cores)
GPU: Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, with optional Radeon E9173 supports up to six (!) displays at 3840x2160@60Hz
Storage: 16GB-512GB (3 x M.2 slots, one can only be used for wireless cards though, 1Tb module worked in at least 1 of them)
RAM: 4-32GB (64GB Max)
> In March 2023 Eric reported that he was happily using his t740 with 2 x 32GB SODIMMs

"Thin" client 😂🤣😂

@gemlog
Damn! I knew lead was harmful or course, but not to this extent 🤯

@romin
That would actually be great!
Instead I'm getting force-fed with all this shiny shit that I'm *supposed to* want, but never asked for, then I'm *strongly suggested* that I have to pay for it in one way or the other 😩

@newt
This is addiction at this point, no?

@romin
And I'm not paying for any of that!

@purusa
There is logrotate that automates it a bit.
AFAIR, originally a Debian tool, but you can use it anywhere — I'm using it on my Void machine to handle nginx logs.

In Russian they also "steal", but manage to break the stolen in the process — the third way no one asked for 🤣

@genmaicha

@newt
In Russian, due to being transliterated into a different alphabet, this shit at times doesn't make any sense at all, you pronounce it very differently from the way it's written: "it's an exception, you just have to remember it",— it's literally what they teach you in school!
In case with Japanese, I think it's just transliterated awkwardly, but then just read as if it would be written in kana: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/113711955834045265

@genmaicha

@newt
That is true for loanwords in most languages — in English these exceptions at least make some sense, probably due to being borrowed mostly from European languages using the same Latin alphabet — but even with Greek ones it still makes some sense: you see certain sequences of letters and you can guess where the word came from and how it's pronounced.

@genmaicha

@newt
And we aren't arguing much — just exchanging thoughts. I could've taken your side, it just won't be as fun. Like I said, I'm not even practicing what I preach here, I'm using «ё» — not only the letter, but these weird quotation marks too, these aren't present in any standard layouts, I have to use specialised ones to enter them — or compose-key incantations.

> a language that is incapable of expressing Ulysses is certainly a gimped one
Well, it seems English wasn't enough for Finnegan's Wake — he had to borrow from other languages 😂

Why though? 🤔 In this here case her moving on is the immediate outcome of him overdosing.
I think the whole courtesy of respecting the dead was made up by really bad people so others wouldn't be literally shitting on their graves when they're gone.

🤨

@newt
But we aren't even talking art here — most people aren't using the language to write Ulysses, they are doing stuff like "What's your name? Let's fuck!" or writing their stupid emails to the accounting department… sometimes it's both 🤔
Anyway, language is a tool — in most cases it's supposed to be utilitarian, you don't need a swiss army knife where normal one would do. If you want to write a book that won't "be boring", you can do what Joyce did or even make a language up!
@genmaicha

@newt
> It just will be very boring.
Minimalism department called, they want to reduce your funding 😏
Expressing more with less is an art of its own. And being less limited doesn't always mean being more expressive — remove the genre boundaries and you won't get another shining masterpiece, in absolute most cases you'd get something inconsistent and falling apart. Book written in the most complex language is not the be the highest form of art, it's the one no one read.
