Funny how the Death To America school has an American flag next to the teacher's desk (left edge of the picture). Did the cartoonist not think about it for even a second while drawing?

This is your brain on liberalism

Don't do liberalism

China is a dangerous place to be a foreigner these days, especially for foreigners in certain professions

Hmmmm, I wonder what his profession was (and what he did to get the attention of China's government) 🤔

Not familiar with this particular guy, but this phrasing makes him seem suspicious, not China.

Very good news. It genuinely makes me happy that the DPRK is able to produce ICBMs. U.S. only speak the language of force, this is the way to go if you want to keep them out of your country.

Just typed a post complaining about personal life, but then I clicked the wrong button and now the post is gone. No energy to type again. I don't feel well and I really need more sleep. Much work tomorrow. I wish students were allowed to take days off. Impatiently counting time towards the winter holidays cuz I really need a break.

At least I am enjoying this song by the Moranbong Band. Very beautiful singing and lyrics. (The video that I linked has subtitles in several languages.)

What was making them consider living in July? Before the start of the operation? I thought most settlers felt pretty safe back then.

Listening to some beautiful patriotic music from the DPRK.

Thinking of how the west has never forgiven these people for building a life for themselves and refusing to submit to US imperialism. Sanctions are still in place. Average westerner doesn't see them as human at all. US bombing killed 20% of their population in 1950--1953. They (the west) would gladly do the same again. We all are witnessing the massacre that the US puppet is committing in Palestine. The pictures are burned into my brain now. Can't imagine what it's like to actually have to live through the horrors. While the world looks on and does nothing. They would gladly do the same to every other country that dares to oppose them. The kids from this video? US army would murder them and not even blink an eye.

I am incredibly glad the DPRK has nuclear weapons. International law is a joke. Death to America.

Sorry for incoherent rambling. I'm really bad at writing.

I know nothing about this, but it came up on my Mastodon timeline and it sounds very concerning. Unless someone took over the Matrix servers or the account, mastodon.matrix.org seems to be indeed their official instance... Any opinion from the comrades on here who use Matrix?

 
 

From the description:

This video clip shows HVO geologist Tim Orr sampling lava from an active pāhoehoe breakout on the episode 61g lava flow. The chemistry of these lava samples provides information on the magma plumbing system. Sampling has been a regular part of monitoring Kīlauea Volcano's ongoing Pu‘u‘ō‘ō eruption.

Today I learned that this is what that looks like. Very impressive.

 

I'd like to try Matrix, but I still don't know of a good client. I don't want Electron on my computer, so the official client is out of the question. I tried nheko, but I didn't like it (though I can install it again if it turns out that there is no better option).

So, can anyone here recommend me a Matrix client? Either terminal-based or GUI, both are fine.

 
 

The two programs involved are toilet and lolcat.

toilet is a program that takes text as input, and turns it into fancy multi-line letters. It has different "fonts" available for this purpose; all the available fonts are stored in the /usr/share/figlet directory. Here are just some examples:

Actually, toilet also has a built-in option to colour it, but it doesn't look very nice IMO, as the colour changes are too sudden:

lolcat is a program that takes some text, and prints the same text, but rainbow-coloured. Note that you need a terminal with 256-colour support (rather than just 16) for the desired effect. It can colour any text in rainbow:

(The wrapping at 80 characters is so that the lines don't get longer than the terminal width. lolcat starts looking weird when they do.

And now, by combining these two, we can get fancy rainbow-coloured text!

Enjoy! :)

 

I've been thinking about acquiring one of these for a while, because RISC-V sounds quite interesting, but I think I should ask about it here before I spend money on this stuff and the shipping...

First of all, how well does it run Linux? It appears that MangoPi uses their own distro, so I could imagine that a standard one wouldn't run... I don't know about the Sipeed chips. Did anyone here try?

Secondly, which specific model do you have? It's a little hard to get an overview of what's currently available (MangoPi and Sipeed are the only two that I know), I would appreciate a list or just the name of the one you have.

And, in general, what's it like? Does the shipping take long? What are you using it for?
