Of course, just as I'm starting to get this cough back under control I had to go and choke on my water again...


Just got a notification from F-Droid that my browser ( #Fennec ) has known #security issues. Looks like I'm in the market for a new browser on my mobile devices.

I know I'm gonna hate asking this, but what browser sucks the least on #Android these days?

I saw over on Mastodon that an update is coming soon, so I don't think you need to be in a rush to switch.

@Russ O ❤ 🇺🇦 Yeah, I mostly only use the browser on my phone with trustworthy-ish sites, so I'm not in a huge rush. If they fix it before I find an alternative, so much the better.


Does anyone know if #org-mode has a way to specify a repeating scheduled item in UTC time? I have a few of these, and don't want to have to adjust them all when the clock changes. #emacs

Maybe a answer : org-mode utc
in reply to lann

@lann This is close to what I'm looking for. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do something like set a property on a headline that says "treat everything in this subtree as UTC".

Anyone who thinks they can vote their way out of fascism with their wallet has never seen a billionaire’s wallet.

A few years ago, a Podcaster was wanting all their listeners to boycott Home Depot because the CEO hates Democrats. Guess who the same CEO endorsed this time? Kamala Harris!
A Democrat!

Every time I go to Home Depot to pick up some electrical wire, I can always depend on finding the podcaster's empty parking space, I chuckle to myself.

Oh neat, I'm doing the cough-so-hard-I-almost-pass-out thing again. 🙃

PSA: if you're using a laptop with a recent Intel CPU and running Linux, install and enable thermald if you do not have it already. you will likely notice substantial performance gains

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.

Imagine being the sorry excuse for a human being who wrote this.


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.

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".

@via unreachable The one in the Debian repositories can't. It looks like ASCII (actually CP437) but they're weirdly graphical tiles.
in reply to via unreachable

@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.
in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

@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.
