someone I knew lived on Anguilla and was a computer consultant. Occasionally her conference calls would be interrupted by the goats next door sticking their heads in the window.
Now she lives in South Carolina, where I assume the same thing happens.
I need to request that *all* programmers remember that some of us are visually impaired and need to be able to edit the actual tar out of the font sizes for your menus, main bodies of your programs, etc. We need font resizing options, bolding options, color options, and font type options. For everything. If it's text, it needs to be able to be redone by the user. Also, that needs to be on a "global" and then a "per pane" basis, including the main area a person is working in.
Complaint trigger: All these M'Fkn' "Media Players" that are written for dinky little smart phones that no one over the age of 45 or 50 can even read hardly at all. I don't care that most of the people who download these things are around 12 to 25 years old. Some of us need to use these things in order to start or operate businesses and are *real grown ups.* We need these things but when we can't read them, they're useless to us.
Please fix this in every application on this planet. Thanks.

Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue
Uhhhh not really
That also has stuff like timestamps. And in some links, such as on youtube.com/watch?v=videocode, the actually important part of the link is also after the ? (as opposed to on youtu.be/videocode).
?, though I haven't seen that in the wild.
@Jonathan Lamothe @Thomas Fuglseth @🏳️🌈🎃🇧🇷Luana🇧🇷🎃🏳️🌈 Some sites like fb, reddit and stackoverflow produce special share links that aren't just a link to the article, the link is unique to the person sharing it.
When I get a link like that, I'll look up the canonical URL before sharing it further. It's not only a privacy issue, it's a special case of the URL shortener issue and messes up our collective internet heritage, as it is very unlikely that URL will be resolvable ten years from now, and the internet archives and national libraries out there won't know that personalized URL.

playlist also. So e.g. how would one clean up this link?
youtube.com/watch?v=IsiKUsrqFk…
So much stuff here, but all of it is necessary. v indicates which video it is, list indicates which playlist it is, t indicates the timestamp. Granted, this isn't a youtu.be link, but only because that one already removes playlist, so it's not useful for sharing videos with their context intact.

@Uglesett@snabelen.no @luana@wetdry.world no, as a matter of fact taking youtube.com/watch?v=IsiKUsrqFk… and cutting off everything after ? - that is v=IsiKUsrqFkc&list=PLvoAL-KSZ32dRMGLza8Dw4xZK6_1ItjNr&t=52 - will not show the intended video - youtube.com/watch is not a video URL. Time is also important - I might be linking to a specific point in a 4h video, for example.
Those 4 are safe to cut, yeah, but "just cut off everything after ?" is straight up misinfo - that's how you end up with people sharing broken links

v doesn't have to be the first parameter + again, you stil have time and playlist. Like I said, time is important - maybe you're linking to a specific point in a 4h video essay, for example. Playlist is important if you're , say, sharing a music video from a soundtrack or album split into individual tracks per video rather than a single video for the whole thing.
So - again - you can't blindly remove things - know what is safe to remove and use common sense. Sometimes it's fine to omit both time and playlist (sometimes even desirable), often not.
@sorcery Yeah, the last sentence is true except in the many cases when it's not. 😅
But everything before that is solid advice.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that I've grown disillusioned with capitalism over the past several years. What's interesting to me though is that any time I express this publicly, there are no shortage of capitalists who falsely assert that I am claiming that communism is the ultimate solution to everything. This is a false dichotomy.
I am not saying I have the answers to the world's problems. I just have eyes to see that the emperor has no clothes.

@mvilain I'd never heard of this, and DuckDuckGo isn't telling me much. What markets did the DECDataSystem target?
(I used 11/70s early in my career, though. RSTS/E and 2.x BSD.)
Just beautiful. Great reminder how pure and powerful Unix once was.
Thinking about it, my first serial-line terminal login on a SysV machine was back in January 1990, eons ago. It was a big tower case server with a 68020, and even then it was considered an older machine for legacy projects and unimportant enough to let newbs like me have a go at it. Your machine is about a generation or two older, and still running strong. Great job!
Hey #Unix folks recommend me your favorite games that can run in the terminal that aren't:
1) the most basic boring arcade stuff like snake or missile command
2) roguelikes/dungeon crawlers (love em but there's no lack of those)
3) chess, backgammon, etc., more meaty board games sure but there's already a million easy to find ways to play chess in a terminal
edit: 4) IF, I know where to find plenty of that, forgot this one
This is for my machine with no gui so when I say terminal I mean terminal not just like "text based and looks like it'd be in a terminal maybe".

Have you investigated interactive fiction? The game that has stuck with me as a good introduction to the medium was Photopia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photopia
There are likely many other on-ramps to text adventures, probably newer and better games, but I just thought that one had pretty colors 😉

I believe old versions of Dwarf Fortress have an ncurses mode which runs in the terminal. Dont think its supported anymore on the steam/itch release though, sadly.

are you certain? It could last I checked!
[PRINT_MODE:TEXT] in data/init/init.txt
@via unreachable I didn't have an init folder under data. I added it and got the following when I launched it, I got the following error:
Display not found and PRINT_MODE not set to TEXT, aborting.
@me it looks like Debian moved stuff around; try editing /usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/gamedata/data/init/init.txt
Change [PRINT_MODE:2D] to [PRINT_MODE:TEXT], and you should get curses output.
