There is a missing feature I've been intending to add to though, which is that _any_ link that _looks_ like a URL that _might_ be an image, for example, ends with .png
or .jpg
or whatever, we _should_ just render that as an image and not expect users to wrap it in Markdown image links 
@kat Ahh what do you mean by images don't embed? They definitely should! By default however all domains are blocked, so you might want to either allow some domains or just put in a .*
entry to allow all/any domsins. Screenshot attached
psst i'll be at my local event for HTML day!!! i'm very excited but very nervous, i don't even know what i'll be working on! but i'll figure it out...
i wanna work on my fanlisting PHP app but i feel so blocked on it
on my yarn pod nothing really embeds (not even images) so i'm looking at the embed rules part of the mod settings and i'm like... i don't know how to do any of this 😭😭😭
@movq WHATTTTT WHY DO THEY MAKE THIS SO HARD

@arne LOl that's hilarious 😂
@lyse @kat Colorized manpages have been a thing for a very long time:

Problem is, hardly anybody knows this, because you configure this by … drumroll … overwriting TERMCAP entries of less
in your ~/.bashrc
:
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\e[38;5;3m' # Bold
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\e[0m' # End Bold
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\e[4;38;5;6m' # Underline
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\e[0m' # End Underline
export GROFF_NO_SGR=1 # Needed since groff 1.23=
XLOV are a really cool k-pop group. i just adore the concept of "gender is a fuck and we are going to do whatever we want" like that's ballsy and epic and the members 100% sell it
@lyse we NEED syntax highlighting in our man pages!!!! (FWIW i think bat can do that lol)
@lyse BLUE DA BA DI BA DI DAAAA hahah iconic!!! ladida is suchhh a good song i was so obsessed with it when it came out in 2020
@lyse perfectly fine, don't worry about it!!! this looks really cool TY for sharing it :D

@kat @movq Sorry, I neither finished it nor in time. :-( That's as good as it's gonna get for the moment: https://git.isobeef.org/lyse/gelbariab/-/tree/master/rss-proxys?ref_type=heads
The README should hopefully provide a crude introduction. The example configuration file is documented fairly well, I believe (but maybe not). You probably still have to consult and maybe also modify the source code to fit your needs.
Let me know if you run into issues, have questions, wishes etc.

@movq @kat I also wondered for a very long time why nobody improved the man experience in the terminal. I'd love to see links and more colors.
i signed up for omg.lol and i'm really liking it. such a cozy and fun little community with a suite of fun web things. i wish the financial barrier to entry was a bit lower though (maybe like $5 for a few months on it or something) just so i could recommend it to my broke friends more, but i totally get why it's priced the way it is (solo dev!!!)
@movq it's so scary save urself
@movq yeah man pages are good but these days i kinda prefer tldr and especially cheat.sh

Seems like, that "God Bless the USA" phrase has gotten hijacked by people who don't seem to know what national sovereignty is. Is their boy Trump aware of the existence of other nations ?

Why is it that I hate packing so badly? I gotta have to brace myself up to start that now.
The outlook is poor, rain all the way until maybe the last day of summer camp. Definitely bringing my gummies, they are well needed, the weather report announces several days with up to 14 liters per square meter.
Welcome to the club, @kiwu!
@kat Ta, very catchy indeed! :-) Their polyphony is great.

@kingdomcome Yeah, it's all about simplicity. That's what got me hooked. In its original form without the extensions, you can even read the raw feed and it doesn't feel all that bad.

In 1996, they came up with the X11 “SECURITY” extension:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4w548u/what_is_up_with_the_x11_security_extension/
This is what could have (eventually) solved the security issues that we’re currently seeing with X11. Those issues are cited as one of the reasons for switching to Wayland.
That extension never took off. The person on reddit wonders why – I think it’s simple: Containers and sandboxes weren’t a thing in 1996. It hardly mattered if X11 was “insecure”. If you could run an X11 client, you probably already had access to the machine and could just do all kinds of other nasty things.
*Today*, sandboxing is a thing. *Today*, this matters.
I’ve heard so many times that “X11 is beyond fixable, it’s hopeless.” I don’t believe that. I believe that these problems are solveable with X11 and some devs have said “yeah, we could have kept working on it”. It’s that people don’t *want* to do it:
> Why not extend the X server?
>
> Because for the first time we have a realistic chance of not having to do that.
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html
I’m not in a position to judge the devs. Maybe the X.Org code really is so bad that you want to run away, screaming in horror. I don’t know.
But all this was a choice. I don’t buy the argument that we never would have gotten rid of things like core fonts.
All the toolkits and programs had to be ported to Wayland. A huge, still unfinished effort. If that was an acceptable thing to do, then it would have been acceptable to make an “X12” that keeps all the good things about X11, remains compatible where feasible, eliminates the problems, and requires some clients to be adjusted. (You could have still made “X11X12” like “XWayland” for actual legacy programs.)

@lyse check out their song zenbu kakete go!! it's very sleek and smooth and just so vibe-y!!! also this live performance has an EPIC intro featuring ichika (violin girl) plus one of the members beatboxing and two girls (including my all time favorite idol, dambara ruru!) on vocals! it's so good
@kingdomcome I REPLIED TO THIS AND NOW IT'S NOT SHOWING WTFFFF anyway what i said was that i have some fun stuff in the daily note template already like ASCII weather forecast from wttr AND a jenny holzer quote from fortune!!! i should add more fun stuff!!!
Twtxt as a network is so neat. Sucks it isn't more widely adopted ): I feel like it'd be way easier to host than say, mastodon or GTS. & would require WAYYYY less resources. Not a diss on GTS, I love GTS <3, just saying _because_ it's text files, I assume the minimum amount of ram needed to host any of the twtxt server software is very low.
I could be super wrong though lol. Idk shit about anything ^^"
@kat I BELIEVE IN U!!! Making it fun helps! Maybe like put images in the docs so it's cuter to look at! I did that, but with physical journaling. Except instead of pics it was receipts & leaves & dried flowers lol
Howdy twtxt! How's ur morning going?

@movq Holy cow! O_o
Reducing the overall screen time is desireable, that's right. I should do the same.
