I’m very excited about this: a new zine & journal delivered via telnet (and I think dial-up, although that’s not clear). Soliciting contributions, especially queer and trans voices.

(Found on another social network but thought folks here might appreciate it.)

Combining geeky projects: my finger server will now include the most recent post from my twtxt client without a subject.

I have been using Unix for 25+ years and I just learned about the status character in shells (often ^T). Huh.

When evaluating a new social network is there a pre-existing term for what percent of the traffic on that network is dudes talking *about* the network? Like, Mastodon is ~10%, SSB is ~65%?

Celeste's education in musicals is 100% my responsibility, so tonight was Rent. Education is important.

Does anyone have an example of CSS for simulating text-mode character burn-in on an old crt?

Today we learned Rush Limbaugh has died. He was a terrible human being. I wrote the brief story of how he helped me become a leftie.

I saw something (on here, I think?) about the evolution of color terms and their differentiation in language, but can't find it now. Anyone else see this, and have a pointer? Talked about how pretty much all cultures differentiate colors in a certain order.

Power’s back.

Given how rural we are, I always assume it’s going to be a disaster, but Columbia River PUD does good work.

And there goes our power.

My silly Plan 9 rc twtxt client now has a web page: http://txtpunk.com/tw/index.html

It's usable, but still needs work. Replies, especially.

This is your annual reminder that St Valentine was executed for performing marriages the State didn't approve of.

@tootapp Am I correct that there’s no way to view a domain, starting from a profile? Like, I don’t want to add it to my account list.

Follow on: no way to *block* a domain from within the app, correct?

I have a web site where *I* prefer the dark version of the aesthetic and would like it to be default, but would also like to accommodate if someone has a preference for light mode for accessibility reasons or whatnot. Is that impossible? #css

With prefers-color-scheme: no-preference considered deprecated and non-standard, is there an alternative way of conveying that? Or are we just assuming light is the default preference forever?

I'm working on a dumb retro-ish, text-centric project. I wanted a random line about text so I figured I'd run 'fortune' until it gave me something useful. Its first result:

You can't build a bomb at 300 baud.

That's just about perfect.

We’ve been working on this for a while now - it was not the half hour project from last night! It’s going to be a good year for Glenda. 🐰

Announcing the Plan 9 Foundation — http://p9f.org/ — https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T973ff41a99053355/plan-9-foundation

Last night I spent about 30 minutes putting together the bare framework for a dumb project I want to do. I'm so excited to work on it, I keep checking the website to see if I've posted anything new.
