Kitty Terminal 0.40.0 introduces the Text Sizing Protocol: "multiple font sizes ... in a backwards compatible, opt-in way"
  • with kitty you can open a new terminal session that sets it's cwd to the remote directory of the server you're ssh'd into. Honestly the only thing I can think of that termux can do that kitty can't is saving sessions

  • Open Alpha Trailer | Splitgate 2
  • This genZ-bait soundtrack is making what looks like pretty cool gameplay look incredibly lame. Too many of these GaaS titles that inevitably enshittify use this same marketing to the point where it gives a Pavlovian signal to stay away.

  • Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight
  • I don't think I'm interested in an NVIDIA Shield since if I like the idea of running any Linux app in case I want to use it for another purpose in the future.

    An RPi could be a choice. I forgot that the 5s have hardware decoding. Assuming the 4GB model is suitable, then $60 + cost of a case isn't too bad. I assume the hardware decoding could keep up with 4k60?

  • Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight
  • No, I just was under the impression that Moonlight was the best solution

  • Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight

    Anyone have recommendations for hardware to run Moonlight on a 4K TV? I want to play games on my PC, but I don't want to isolate myself in the office. I imagine a mini-PC would be more appropriate than something like a RPi, but does anyone have specific recs? I have never really bought a device like this. My laptop is not suited for the task so "use an old laptop" isn't a good rec for me really. And yes this relevant to linux since the server and client will be running linux. ;)

    Pirating My Own Music?
  • Not anymore. They are owned by Songtradr now

  • A Trump Executive Order has paused federal payouts on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs and Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, including allocated funds.
  • I wonder if even some red states would stop paying as a result. I can't imagine Ohio and Pennsylvania being ecstatic about propping up the Mississipi, Alabama, etc. after California, Illinois, etc. stop footing the bill.

  • VIDEO: Why is Nintendo 64 emulation still a broken mess in 2025?
  • Just Mario 64. However there is a very good implementation of the N64 in the Mister FPGA project. The downside is there aren't many emulation features that you'd expect out of a software emulator (e.g. save states)

  • Best non-coke alternative to coke zero?
  • I guess to be fair, there are some local places around me that make sodas, which probably are reasonable ethical businesses. Depending on how many bourbon colas you're drinking, it might be worth paying extra for an locally made soda if possible. If you don't have someone that makes soda locally (which is probably likely), maybe consider buying from "gourmet soda" brands like Hank's.

  • Why are American universities so expensive?
  • Administrative bloat. At my university, if my lab lands a grant, 60% goes to the university and only 40% is used for actual research. There's a long chain of people whose jobs are to answer emails, and they all need to be paid.

  • Best non-coke alternative to coke zero?
  • Almost all soda is produced by a corporation run by psychopaths. Your best bet is to stop drinking soda.

  • Flag-planting at Ohio State would be felony under proposed law
  • How could OSU think this is a good look?

  • Terminally Ill Fan Was Able To Play Borderlands 4 Early, And He Says It's Amazing
  • They already did this stunt for the last game. Great for that fan, but feels more manufactured the second time around.

  • Sony Reportedly Scrapped 'Beyond the Spider-Verse' and Rewrote the Entire Sequel
  • Wouldn't be surprised if the 3rd movie was bad. 2nd one was very unsatisfying. It didn't feel like it stood very well on its own, and it felt like the majority of the movie was spent explaining the whole "cannon" concept.

  • Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?
  • Lemmy. For more niche communities that don't exist on Lemmy I use RSS feeds on specific subreddits. Discord for chatting with friend and other niche communities. LinkedIn because I'm in academia.

  • Florida teen with machete arrested for voter intimidation at polling place
  • If there isn't a clear case of self defense, it might be illegal. Classic internet tough guy speak from the OP. No sense in escalating or getting tied up in it. Just call the cops and leave it to them.

  • Pennsylvania: anger among Puerto Ricans in key swing state after racist remarks
  • You're working under the assumption that Puerto Ricans saw Trump either favorably or neutrally before this incident.

  • Recomened me some Japanese movies with English subtitles
  • I like Red Lion. It isn't either genre, but it is a feudal Japanese film that is filled with a surprising amount of comedy. Could be of interest to you if you can tolerate older movies. Shin Gojira and Gojira Minus One are also both good, but unfortunately don't fit in the genres you suggested either.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Ah, yes. Nintendo has definitely done evil on the level of... checks notes ...slavery.

    Might want to reevaluate your list there.

  • Looking for application to do very simple 2D animation

    I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I'm looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was by using PowerPoint. However, is there an FOSS alternative I could use? I would probably need to also export the animation into a gif or some other platform agnostic format. Bonus points for something that can use the images I draw in Inkscape.

    Temperature drop with pourover

    I'm using a Fellow Stag and a metal V60 with a fabric filter. I do a 1:16 ratio (16g of coffee and 256g of water). Generally I'll place the V60 on the Stag while it brings the water up to a boil in order to heat it up. Then I'll saturate the fabric filter with the hot water. I'll use 212F water, but after pouring the water over the grounds, my instant read thermometer will read 195F. It seems weird that despite doing everything in my power to preheat all the equipment, the water drops a lot in temperature as soon as it hits the grounds. Any tips to tackle this problem?
