screenshot of terminal output. the first line is "echo --help" which returned a single line that reads "--help".
a screen shot of prime minister's questions, hannah spencer is speaking, lee anderson and sarah pochin are in the background with a face like she's talking about nationalising grindr or something.
a gif of alan partridge from mid morning matters. he's miming a mugging, holding his hands up in surrender, but then he flails around a bit, holding the imaginary attacker's gun back on them, nodding and grinning.
a screen shot of that article richard dawkins did in unheard, titled "i spent three days trying to persuade myself that claudia isn't concious. i failed"
a screenshot of the game showing results for what happens if you click the moon. the distance is 384,421km away and the message is "you have lost your moon privileges for today". the score is zero, which is fair enough i guess.
a screen shot of a youtube video thumbnail from scott manley who is amazing btw. it's titled "do spacecraft really have to endure the hazards of reentry" and the picture is of a capsule burning up on entry to a planet's atmosphere. the text reads "atmospheric entry is hot but is it really necessary?"
a screen shot of a video thumbnail by asa park titled "why we were told to hate nickelback" with 1.9m views. the thumbnail is a close up shot of the singer's face, and the backdrop is a shot of the new york sky line on september 11th 2001, with the twin towers on fire, and the caption "it started on 9/11". the video is 21 minutes long.
a screen shot of the bonus round list showing neighbours, capital, flag, trivia, landmark, emblem, spoken languages completed and gdp, population and currency, populous cities and area not completed
a screenshot of a funny post on the internet a user called bigmoodenergy made a couple years ago, which plays on the beatles song "come together" reading "here come old laptop he come, booting up slowly, he got, broken touchpad, he need, one more update, he got no space, on this pc, one thing i can tell you it's got no warranty" with 3.9k shares and 17k likes. underneath, another user has written "save its like: SSD and linux!". with one like, which isn't me. i mean, it's solid advice, but the OP is clearly a joke.
it's the "they don't know" meme where a guy stands in the corner with a drink while everybody else is dancing. i've edited the people out.
it's a screen shot from a film but that's the point i don't know. in this shot, the guy is sat sort of half smiling, in a dimly lit room. he's wearing a denim jacket and a shirt. his hair is longish, covering his ears, like a ramone on his day off.
a shot of wes streeting sitting in the lbc studio. the subtitle reads "we're not going to" and i'm afraid i don't know what the context is because i really don't like wes streeting and the sound of his voice makes me really angry in a way that i would never make a problem for anybody else, but i still have to suffer it.
a screenshot of the nasa feed the moment artemis ii's capsule hit the water, with a big splash and 3 parachutes wilting above
a screenshot from "the day today", the host is reading a news paper, parodying the segment on news shows where they read tomorrow's headlines.
The system inherited from the previous Government encouraged more people to stay on benefits without support to move into work. Reforms coming into force today will change that, tackling perverse incentives by introducing a lower Universal Credit health element rate of £217.26 per month for new claimants, compared to the higher rate of £429.80.
a screenshot of some rust code, it's the same thing but twice - a variable assigned to the return of a function, with an "or else" closure running the same function on a different dir. the first one has the comment "i don't like formatters because they do stuff like this", where the line is broken after the equal sign, and "instead of something like this" where the line is broken evenly, just before the "or else" closure.
a screenshot of the game over screen from the above link. it's a sad face with the words "game over, you survived 46 out of 100 jumps". the button reads "retry" and it breaks my heart to deny the cute sad little blue square.
results for the swapon show command. it shows 2.2 GB used on zram and zero bytes for my swap partition.
a screen shot of clearview's "blocked by" showing a block list called "ineffective tech critics" with the description "Users who criticize technology, or like/repost criticisms using disinformation, naturalistic/essentialist fallacies, anthropocentrism, binary thinking, catastrophism or vice signaling. Users are added by a script, I've probably never looked at your profile so please don't take it personally."
a screen shot of terminal output for an app i'm working on. it's intentionally ambiguous, just saying "test" several times.
a horrible looking gtk window with 4 button widgets for each line of input piped into the command, which is just placeholder text like "abc"
the same picture from the post, zack polanski is looking out of a window on a train with a phone to his ear, looking quite shocked.
a screenshot of ed miliband from the video, but it's the very first frame before hitting play. he's caught sort of mid-word but he looks a little disgusted.
a screenshot of politico's poll of polls showing the average polls for spring/summer 2024. labour are on 45% and the tories are on 23%, with labour nose diving to 35% on the day of the election, and slowly sinking further in the following month or so.
a screenshot of a neofetch clone that i've been working on while i learn rust. it prints out a bunch of information next to an ascii logo for the distro i'm running (endeavourOS). the layout is a bit bodged. there's a header and colour chart that look like they aren't related to the thing because of reasons described in the thread.
a screenshot of my neofetch clone in written in rust. it shows some basic information because i've only set up a few modules. those are OS, kernel and DE. also i've set up a color chart. in the first run the 16 colors are displayed in two rows of rectangles, in the second, they are displayed by printing the word "cheese" in the different colours.
cli readout in a rust project's src folder. the first command is "e ~/wallpaper/4k-keyboard.jpg" which returns an error code 1 with "Can I Vim It: file isn't utf-8. the second command is "e main.rs" which successfully runs with the message "can i vim it: yes you can"
a front page of the observer i think, it's a black and white picture of starmer who is holding his right fist up in a barely convincing boxing gesture with the text "gloves off", and bullet points "the greens are nuts, reform is tearing us apart, rayner's coming back and i love the job" and "keir starmer tells rachel sylvester why he plans to fight on"
command line readout for identical memory widgets. the first in a sensible language for such a use case, bash, and the second is in rust. both print out the exact pango-formatted string which is basically an icon and bar that represents the percentage used for both memory and swap. the bash one takes 29ms to run and the rust one is 5ms.
the guy standing up to talk at town meeting meme. it's a guy looking quite defiant standing up while everybody looks at him. i've put the previous post "'self' is the instance of rectangle" as the caption. no other context is given to explain what this means. and that's the way i would like things to remain at this time.
a screenshot of a floating window on my hyprland desktop. the terminal is showing the output of a fastfetch command, which is the endeavourOS logo and a bunch of info about my lenovo v15 laptop. the OS, linux kernel version (6.12), shell (fish) and other stuff like AMD ryzen 5 3500u cpu, 2.5gb out of 8gb ram used.
the popular "this is fine" meme but i've replaced "this is fine" with "i made it so a waybar module lights up if it has a click action and you hover over it"
a screen shot of the linked page showing donations for £500 from nigel blackwell. jeremy white, james price and henry godwin also seen in the image.
a screen shot of a website i'll link to in replies. it's a picture of the sky roughly 24 hours ago with the moon and a few bright dots around it, one of which is jupiter slighly lower than the moon and another is the star pollux off to the left. there's also a bit of information about pollux which is basically just wikipedia, which reads "Pollux is the brightest star in the constellation of Gemini. It has the Bayer designation β Geminorum, which is Latinised to Beta Geminorum and abbreviated Beta Gem or β Gem. This is an orange-hued, evolved red giant located at a distance of 34 light-years"
a bunch of hashtags i use, big means more frequent i think. the big ones are linux, gomiasto, and foss. smaller ones include lymphoedema, linux mint, chris was right, endeavour OS, and a long one "add a letter and make a tv show not better or worse just, well, different". also apparently my mood this year is a green square emoji.
a rofi menu showing various different colour charts for schemes inspired by monokai and everforest, as well as ayu dark, and a couple i made.
a rofi menu showing a few color schemes, and in the background there's a neovim window showing some very shoddy python code, and a lower terminal pane showing the output of the script which is basically just a long list of pango mark up tags that define the colours in the list
google search results for "why doesn't 'reckless' start with a w". the top result is a reddit post in r/etimology titled "why is it wreck, wrecked, and then reckless?". the gist of the answer is that reckless comes from the old verb reck, which means to take the head off something, so reckless is not related to wreck.
the final frame of the "say the line, bart" meme where the class and teacher is waiting in anticipation of an excuse or something, he says it and everybody cheers while bart just sits there looking dejected.
a screenshot of vscode showing off the ayu dark colour scheme which is a dark background with very vibrant colours.
a tweet from piers morgan uncensored. it's a clip of him talking to milo yiannopoulos which reads "honestly it's just a crock of shit, he did it for attention" a quote from milo, and "piers morgan rejects milo yiannopoulos's justification for ye releasing a song called 'heil hitler'"
On Friday, one driver told the BBC his firm would do up to 15 drop-offs daily from a hotel in south east London to a doctors surgery around two miles away. These journeys alone would cost the Home Office £1,000 a day, he said. Another taxi driver, who gave the name Steve, claimed firms would purposely increase the mileage on trips by dispatching drivers to another distant town to carry out short journeys. He told File on Four that on one occasion he was sent from Gatwick Airport to Reading - a round trip of about 110 miles (175km) and costing more than £100 - to take an asylum seeker from their hotel to a dentist appointment which was 1.5 miles away.
a post from george eaton "have written for years that this labour govt would be more left wing than most expected, so i'm pleased it's become the consensus"
A tv from 2000 ish, its a small one with a vhs player built in
a screenshot of pioneer. there's a gas giant with rings on the left side of the screen, and pretty much nothing else aside from a ship you can't see because it's too far away. space is really big.
a cropped version of the charts below showing that all ethnic groups have a net dislike of tories and reform, with only indian people polling 37 to 57 percent tory, and white people polling 33 to 59 people for reform. that's the closest either get, the margin for the rest is vast.
a cropped graph showing favourability of starmer compared to previous prime ministers. may and johnson have the same downward trend but there is a lot of fluctuation. starmers line is a near 90 degree nose dive to a point lower than both of them. sadly the numbers are left out so you'll have to use boris johnson's popularity for reference.
screenshot of wikipedia opinion polling from survation for the caerphilly by election taken from 7-14 october with a sample size of 501. labour have 12%, plaid have 38%, tories have 4%, lib dems have 1%, greens have 3% and reform have 42%
a post from welsh labour about the by election tomorrow showing 25% for plaid, 26% for labour and 28% for reform, to make the point that only welsh labour can beat reform.
a screenshot of the game pioneer from inside the ship's cockpit. i'm flying past titan in the top right corner towards earth, but saturn is in the way and even though the graphics look kinda hacky in this game sometimes the light is catching it just right and it looks very pretty.
a picture of me with hair. i'm in one of the rooms in blueprint studios in salford, there's cool looking orange sound proof padding behind me, and there's a slight vintage type filter applied by the absolute poser who took it. as for me i'm wearing a black hoody unzipped and i'm playing my white mexican strat, where i took the scratch plate and sort of glued an old floral green shirt over it, which looks really cool. the fingerboard is maple. that matters because it's cool. also my hair is not long, but long ish. i'm about 25 i think.
a picture of kevin o'sullivan who doesn't look EXACTLY like the league character but has similar hair and thick rimmed glasses
a video clip from final fantasy 7, in tifa's room at the piano, where it lets you play a little melody. i've played all star by smash mouth, and edited at the end to show the dialogue box saying "i've heard it but played much better"
a tape measure extended to 7 cm on a kitchen chopping board
a post from an account whose details i have censored that reads 'not nailing him due to political incompetence isn't the same as agreeing with what fagrage says and is not doing what he says. even if you seem to want it to be. calling fagrage and badenock racists extremists might well backfire badly politically even if it is morally and factually correct (it is)."
an insta post from labour showing a split between farage and starmer. over farage it says "shouting from the sidelines", and over starmer it says "remmoved over 35k people from the uk with no right to be here"
a youtube thumbnail for a video by "worcester terrariums" titled "the process of making friends with a tiny spider" which is 8 minutes long, is 2 months old and has 2.5m views (no, really). the thumbnail itself is the very tippiest tip of a finger tip next to a tiny spider.
a tweet from tommy robinson at 9:30 pm july 23rd "it's going to be an interesting summer (union jack emoji)"
screenshot of a reddit post in r/manchester titled "how do buses work?" with 46 upvotes and 89 comments
