similar on the front page https://www.openbsd.org/index.html , "UNDSREA LREER"

it seems very much like social commentary.

decino made a video about that, and at 13 minutes in the video they show what happens in-game if you set all values to 0 :)

i do this to put emphasis, i always type "h*ck".

(although it is a half-joke since it's definitely not a curse word imo)

Re:I wrote an bash enumerator because I was sick of xargs on Tuesday July 21, 2026 @03:59AM (#48989408)
i often find xargs ends up biting me, and i have wanted some alternative for a while... but i don't think this is the one for me.

it feel like the syntax here is odd. it still requires me to write quote my command i want to run? unfortunately i'll have to pass on this.

personally i'd want some variant where i can still auto-complete commands and have just have {} as a placeholder. (maybe time to learn how to use xargs for real?)

Re:My Software North Star on Sunday June 07, 2026 @08:22AM (#48434103)
recently i've ran into products that feel like they were not meant to be used, but instead just follow some specification list.

for me, the end user's experience goes above all.

Kagi is really nice. i love the built-in feature to hide certain pages from appearing from results, and also how AI their stuff really feels opt-in. there are a bunch of other small things like navigation with keyboard that i really like too.

> So people end up running full desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, etc.) squeezed onto a tiny 7" touchscreen. It's miserable.

to add on to this: you can definitely make great UI's for small screens and unconventional controls -- Playdate [1] builds their UI around a physical crank on the device, and it feels fun to use it :)
