@lyse When/if I can pull it off, there _will_ be videos! 😅
I never used hardcopy terminals, either. We did have a dotmatrix printer, but that was just used as a regular printer.
Inkjets, I don’t know. They were pretty fascinating and cool when they came out. A lot faster than dotmatrix and obviously quiter. They never gave me much trouble, actually. But I switched to a laser printer long before crap like DRM’ed ink cartridges became a thing.

Here’s an interesting thought/angle on this topic:

@movq Heck yeah, have fun! :-) We never had a matrix printer, started off with a cathode ray tube and an inkjet pisser.
I'm happy to see you compose your first twtxt message using ed on your new output device. We definitely need video proof of that! ;-)
@movq Haha, yeah. I never bothered with them.
We went out an hour earlier to escape the rain. But we got drizzled on, nevertheless. As expected, the rain jacket was finally wet on both the out- and inside. Sweating under that plasic layer is unavoidable with these temperatures. It was still a very nice walk and great vibe with the gray soup. Just right. :-)
Didn't bring my camera, I guarantee that it would have gotten soaking wet.

Uma irritação cada vez mais frequente:
Gente fumando no ponto de ônibus!
Poxa, vá fumar no seu canto e não incomode quem precisa esperar o ônibus.

[47°09′14″S, 126°43′15″W] Saalmi, retransmit, please
The GPG signatures of my software tarballs have been wrong for *years* (because I’ve been using rsync wrong, funny enough, it wasn’t a GPG issue) and nobody ever noticed. (They still are wrong at the moment, because I haven’t pushed the fix, yet.)
This confirms that this is just a total waste of time. Nobody ever checks this. Maybe this matters if you’re a distro, but why even bother as a single person …

Back from Malmö and Copenhagen. So I am ready to continue annoying you with blog posts 😬

Oi @claromes@claromes, acredito que você manja desses paranauês, dei umas buscas e não encontrei...
Queria saber se as fotos que as pessoas mandam pro Instagram mantém os metadados, se podem conter localização e tal... (desconfio que a Meta guarda a sua localização no momento da postagem e os metadados das fotos para os fins nefastos deles mas publicam uma foto com os metadados removidos, mas não consegui confirmar essa informação)
Se tivesse uma tabela pra eu mostrar pros meus alunos sobre quais serviços fazem o quê com os metadados das fotos ia ser lindo...

@thecanine Wow. I’m not an artist in any way, but I have tried to make icons for programs or fonts every now and then. Making something that is still recognizable at so few pixels is *hard*. Hats off!

@thecanine Haha I thought myself there might ahve been too many pixels on the tail, but I'm no expert in this field 🤣 It's still a nice canine though! 👌
Now catholics pray for the abolishment of the chinese communist party and the chinese government.
19.8.91 Abolishment of Gorbachev. End of the cold war 34 years ago. Thank God!

@thecanine My daughter (_who is pretty good already at art and only 10 :D_) says this looks like a "blob" 🤣 I tried to explain to her that this is pixel art, but I'm not quite sure she has the same appreciation (yet) 😅

twtxting from Linux Mint uiiiiiiii! finally ~completely kiked windows #linux~
je suis en train de travailler sur du gemtext amélioré. J'ai déjà le code awk qui fonctionne bien, ~200 LOC. Demain je me colle à l'implémentation en C, puis quand c'est prêt je publie ma 'pot', c'est à dire les 'prx opinionated text'~

@movq Ucycling just rocks to hard!
@bender Hahaha, I bet you could use it for a myriad of things! :-D
@lyse ooooh! I wish I had that mallet here at work today. So many uses come to mind! 😂

@movq Very nice! I fully agree, I really like listening to him, too.
I am happy to be back home, but it is very hot here in Italy compared to Poland.
