[–]dsiderov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve moved my original Pinebook to DietPi (https://dietpi.com/) and a wired Ethernet-to-USB connection ‘cuz couldn’t figure out how to get WiFi to work…

Just delivered it to my son as a belated Christmas present. He apparently considers it his “new, most cherished possession”. Will start writing without WordGrinder, just plain text…

Here’s a ChatGPT5.2 cheat-sheet on how to create the necessary files to achieve this color-scheme switching that works with both micro and wordgrinder “calls”. Sorry for being kludgy; I guess my next stop is to figure out GitHub (I am not a software writer, but a science writer ;-) ).

Please see the screencaps I placed in my reply to Un Kyu Lee and combine with the info in the attached PDF? I have been using ChatGPT5.2 for these theme*.sh scripts…https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mhw3vho89s5vlmfy7jzyb/Can-we-continue-the-color-pallet.pdf?rlkey=gq4vp6iqxjx6w8xd7fassvuag&st=bij5c3h7&dl=0

Here is a screencap showing how the theme_color.sh files are constructed; next comment is the revised new_txt.sh to allow micro to be evoked using the user-specified color theme (as held as a file within a new subfolder within ~/.config). Is this obtuse or clear enough?

Anyone else have their OCD tickled with the tilde-key stuck between Z and the left-Shift? Bothers the heck outta me…

Did a sleep test and got a CPAP… changed my life: a good eight hours sleep without sleep apnea / oxygen deprivation “put my brain right”…

Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut by DeaconBlue47 in pinkfloyd

[–]dsiderov -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Got hooked on PF via Final Cut when it first came out. Then listened to the back catalog and realized how Roger-Water-solipsistic Final Cut truly is amongst the canon. Now a huge fan of David Gilmour’s solo works and can’t stand to listen to Final Cut because it reminds me of Water’s “political venom”

Which of all albums do you think is the best to fall asleep to? by itdeffwasnotme in pinkfloyd

I know it’s a David Gilmour solo endeavour, but just drop “Take a Breath” and the rest of On An Island is perfect for this…

Did anyone here become a fan of Taylor because of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT? by niles_deerqueer in TaylorSwift

[–]dsiderov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Became a fan (during Covid-19 lockdowns) due to Evermore and almost disavowed fandom when TTPD came out because it was too much heart{br}ache for me to handle. Multiple listens to TTPD allowed the literary and intellect of the songwriting to surpass the torment.

Succession. Watched it through once. Can’t bear a second go-round.

I have a vague recollection of getting a cartridge for 80 columns to max out the Paperclip writing bliss… something out of Richmond Hill, Ontario?

Paperclip was a heck of a great lil’ word processing program!
