Our TV has a wonky HDMI port. When the cable gets bumped the picture on the screen goes to high-res static. This is not the behaviour I would expect from a digital signal.

@uoou Sadly, best I can do is 1080p, which I guess is fine since my eyes aren't 4K anyway.

I'm actually hearing a few people going back from 4k to 1080. 1080's certainly enough for me.

please boost this post ​:boosts_ok_gay:
Hi, I was forced to quit my job about a month ago now due to being forced to move by my partners anti-lgbt parents.

We moved to a much more rural area out of necessity unfortunyately job prospects are not looking so great out here.

They effectively kicked us out because they did not approve of what their church teaches them about "homosexual relationships" like the one i have with my transfem partner....

Both my partner and myself have cut down on a lot of our expenses and we desperately need assistance to help pay for a 3+ hour trip to the specialty clinic my partner goes to for her medical needs. Gas is expensive and I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide even if it's only boosting this post.

I've been using a web site for #soroban practice that generates exercise sheets. They offer a service where they'll send you a worksheet by email on a scheduled basis, and I finally signed up for that. When I did, I was presented with a captcha. I normally despise these, but I think I'll let this one slide.

As I like to say, hatred is a precious part of us. Those who control your hatred control you. Don't let them take control. Protect your hatred, cultivate it, hate carefully and deliberately. They'll never see it coming.

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.
