Ubuntu's cowsay doesn't include satanic.cow which is FUCKING BULLSHIT (heh) but yes, this is my favorite terminal emulator and you should try it out and maybe support Wez

like I said, I don't think I've had good biscuits! I wouldn't really rate the ones I've had as being like good scones either :-p

when I first heard of it, I was like "wat?". Having had it, I would describe it to other brits as similar to a scone but with light/white gravy. I don't believe that I've experienced a truly good US biscuit; I just haven't been to the right place to have a good one I think.

Most people I'm following here are outside my norm, because my normal circle is not here. It's interesting but not as engaging for me personally. Most content I see here is complaints about trust/moderation, so the impression I have is that no one really likes it here, and I see little other content

A screenshot of a wezterm terminal window on a Windows system. The terminal itself is running pwsh.exe and shows a sparkline-style bar chart across the top with a color gradient ranging from a purple huge through blue and then into green. Below that, the text "Loading personal and system profiles took 1234ms" is displayed above the shell prompt.  The rest of the window is otherwise empty, and the desktop wallpaper behind shines through an acrylic style effect that blurs the wallpaper, which features the word LEGION in silver-grey text sitting in front of a smoky cloud that is colored in vibrant magenta on the left and a vivid blue/purple on the right. At the bottom of the terminal window are two tabs in the bottom left, and the bottom right shows the date/time "Sunday, 16 April 2023 00:23".

Telescopes probably use mirrors which means there is absolutely no way to know how many vampires there are in space.

we had one (sadly now passed away) that moved through the house like the weeping angels in the Dr. Who "Blink" episode; turn around and she was suddenly and silently in a different location from the last time you looked!

No. It hasn't clicked. It seems like it should be simple to express the data transformation goal, but is always just out of reach. I use `jq .` for pretty printing, but it's often faster/easier to do ad-hoc stuff with grep than figuring out jq's syntax, which is a shame!

I heard about https://github.com/ogham/dog recently, but haven't tried to use it yet for similar reasons: if I'm on a remote machine there's little chance of it being installed already.

FWIW, I tend to use `+short` when trying to focus in on the important stuff. I haven't bothered to learn more options or how to make it the default because I'm often on a remote machine without my personal dotfiles when I'm using it.

It felt like it got a LOT of airplay in the UK back then! I remember that my cousins had it on tape and just played it on repeat on road trips.
