Ah yes, classic deflection. First, you mention the USSR every third sentence, now you’re pretending it’s all just a coincidence. Sure, buddy. Next, you’ll tell me the KGB also had movie nights in their little 'huts' watching Friends reruns. How convenient.

TV is curated, programmers, editors and executives decide what, to whom and when they will emit.

Social media is also curated. It's really an upgrade to TV only automated and personalized. Algorithms and content managers decide what people individually see.
On top of that there is surveillance ...

You are a living psyop, KGB trained you well boy.

In fact, everything is much simpler :) Either you don't have very strong nerves, or you're stuck deep in the 70s. Even a forum participant from Poland does not allow himself to speculate and theorize much about the KGB, because he has outgrown ...

A weekend getaway with friends at a remote cabin turns into chaos after it's revealed that one of the guests is not what they seem.

Well, these are the times now :) What did the USSR and the USA have in common during the Cold War? Both sides read the book Uncle Tom's Cabin . Many Soviet ...

Thanks again @superhik

You make light work of it, clearly another expert to learn from!

If I may ask more of your skill, how to increment line_index with up and down arrows?

In fact right now I am using the up down arrows to change font and text color on the fly. "[A") export FONT="$(yad ...

superhik I am running txt2svg on KLV-Airedale-sr17 successfully.

Is it looking better? Gtk widgets are a bit off, I assume it's because of this gtk theme I use.

I actually wanted the arrow keys to 'work' and also the return key.

Here is something along the lines of what I want. When typing from the terminal running the code it is formatting the text as expected but entering a return/newline exits the <span></span> formatting. I can pipe ...

Actually, IFS and printf are not Bash-specific, they both work in POSIX compliant shells.
Unlike echo, which may collapse spaces and interpret special characters differently across systems, printf always prints exactly what you pass to it.
printf "%s\n" always preserves spaces/tabs → Works in sh ...

superhik

Instead of eval, printf, IFS and cat are options that work.
var_1='this is var 1'
var_2='this is var 2' # Contains tabs and multiple spaces

for i in {1..2}; do
var_name="var_$i"
printf "%s\n" "${!var_name}" # Preserves all spaces and tabs
done

I have a use for it but using the arrow keys results in keycodes. How to correct?

Well, it can read the keys and skip them.

Every modern TV I have used with a computer has cutoff 50 pixels on each side and 30 pixels off the top and bottom.

This is a result of a technique called "over scanning" carried over from CRT screen TV's. In short, people expect the TV picture to fill the screen from edge to ...

Windows 365?
It does not align with the free and open source philosophy.
Sure it would run well on low powered devices since heavy lifting is done on someone else's computers, but I see ethical concerns.

AI can make mistakes.

We also make mistakes because everything we know, belive or assume we have ...

When they made women work they doubled the taxes and cut the salaries in half. And made the kids be raises by someone else. But they don't need smart kids, just the simple workers. Children are prepared for the job market not to be their competition. That means to work for someone else, pay taxes on ...

It should look good on dark and light themes. Also when resizing the window, dates and date names will increase font size but should remain in center of the grid cells. Current date is green. If there is a diary entry it will add a small circle to the date. Have fun, suggest features, and report bugs.

superhik

Of course it failed, you tried to compile a bash script.
#!/bin/bash is in the first line.
Bash scripts can't compile with gcc.
That's the wrong file rockedge.
I've made my app in C.

to recobayu

Very nice coding.
I might suggest a button to open a text file to act like a diary.
The date and a message could be entered and stored in the text file.
