Terminal programs bias to dark modes and explicit colors are hostile to light modes and themes. We now detect programs when they request colors too out of whack from your theme, apply some Oklab magic and hue rotation to match your theme. Harmonious themes, everywhere, always. Quoting @almonk Have some fun stuff to share for fellow light mode terminal lovers: we call it Automatic Contrast Correction. Users of light themes will have felt my pain. Developers have generally designed text interfaces for dark mode terminals. There are many examples in the tui apps I use everyday: `lsd`, `bto… Related

Stats: 1572 sessions, longest 9603 turns, 0 amulets kinda disappointed in the X crowd right now 😁 Quoting @tobi I always liked nethack. This 42 year old marvel is one of the deepest adventure games ever made. It also looks like crap, at least out of the box. GPT6 Astra made a headless version for me. You can now use its brain as a library or as mcp or via javascript library. Meet Related

Their words
But for me it just comes down to, is it really a good thing to do? Is it really actually something we want, is to value people in such a profane or just disregarding way? I just really think it's just bad for the soul. Even if all the stats said it was great for you, I still say it's actually bad.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
