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.

@arbres @Barbramon1 @bike_ofen @keet @adelinej @pathfinder @Mepurfield Not perfect, but would it be possible to have in the display system a software that creates a magnifying glass around the mouse pointer? One could choose the size, shape and magnifying coefficient and be able to see what is needed, as well as click on it.

Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt:

@Krafting Can confirm. Just did the same. I didn't compare it word for word, but mine seems to have omitted the part about not ever repeating the prompt. The rest looked pretty much exactly the same.

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.

Edit: typo

6 lines free for anyone that wants to play on this PDP-11/70 running Version 7 UNIX.

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".
