This morning brought to my attention that apparently some instances use MRFs replacing certain words with other words! Disgusting! 🤦

BTW when it comes to monochrome displays, I think there is an interesting development. This came up on Slashdot a few days ago: https://www.tomsguide.com/tablets/android-tablets/daylight-dc1-is-a-new-tablet-with-a-live-paper-display-that-might-be-better-than-e-ink-heres-how
Looks like they have made eink-like display responsive enough so it became possible to use it with regular GUI. This could be useful in a whole class of devices — something you could just work with texts on, for "small web", browsing Gemini and such.

@mirabilos @rl_dane @mogwai
Ha-ha-ha, and I even somewhat understand why they succeeded. I sometimes pick my (equally old) MacBook Pro, that has pre-Retina, but still higher pixel density panel, it's not running Mac OS X now, it has mostly the same Void linux/Wayland/Sway setup that I use on HP one, I look at the fonts and I'm like: "Wow, this looks good!"
They could "make it right" that is why it caught on — but I still think that with Retina display thing they went too far.

@rl_dane @mirabilos @mogwai
I feel conflicted about high pixel density displays — on one hand things indeed look better, no surprises here, on the other — I use an old HP ProBook that only has a 1366x768 12" panel, it's enough in most cases and I do appreciate longer battery life that isn't wasted on powering the high-resolution display even when I don't need that.
I can still connect it to an external display when I'm at home, so it's not like I'm missing something.

Stop making up pick up lines and start making up drop off lines! 🤪

Mahoro-san! It's Mahoro-san, right? It has to be Mahoro-san!
I want to have a robotic womanservant and refuse to be rich in any other case! 😭

@sun @gabriel
Yes, could very well be the case. I'm not the one has a habit of overstating the factor of foreign influence — don't get me wrong, the malicious intent is there and it's tremendous, but the level of incompetence at which said influence is usually getting projected is also astounding 😂

@sun @gabriel
Yes, it's not misinformation per se, but airing said dirty laundry selectively might've allowed to achieve for some interesting effects.
I think that Russia might have contributed greatly in getting you society this polarized, but at present the real scale of this contribution seems to be impossible to assess.

@sun @gabriel
Russian investigative journos have always been claiming those were real people, not automated tools — in fact, here in Russia, no one uses terms such as "kremlin bots" for genuine robots.
But they were also claiming these people still weren't acting out of their own volition — might've been getting paid or something like that, but that information is of course unverifiable 🤷

Nice, there is still time!
AFAIK now it even has Sway — it's unlikely to work on i915, but maybe I would put it on something more recent if I like it.

@Quinnypig
How did the entire industry get scammed into this? Most of this stuff seems even more useless than non-fungible doge-coins — and that's a very low bar I must say 😩

@rysiek @LikeItOrLumpIt
They use Void linux and have black cats 😸

@feld
To an extent — yes, it is. Syscalls might be different on different architectures, but usually there is a layer of abstraction over that.
But that was a joke anyway 😄

@gray @kirby
Would the upcoming 14.1 still support 32-bit Intel arch?
I'm thinking about ditching Linux on my olde ThinkPad T43 and checking FreeBSD out while this hardware is still supported.
It's wireless network adapter is 54 Mbit/s only so that shouldn't be a problem for me.

@mathew @mjg59
With HDCP 😜

> writing everything in C
E-e-eww! What a bloat! True minimalists use assembly… Wait, no — they write opcodes right in hex! 😏

@amerika
I don't have much experience with PowerShell, but I find it interesting. I like the way you pipe objects between commands, not just text like in UNIX shell. Of course you can just extract only particular fields with "select". It's an unusual, but interesting concept.

@mirabilos
It looks a bit funky, but it's legible. I use it for framebuffer console — it's a good font, never tried it in X terminal though.
