overview for nour

Mikei knows she's not supposed to be on the table. Apparently she thinks that if her back legs are not on the table, she isn't breaking the rules. in c/aww@lemmy.ml

I don't let the cats on the kitchen table if I'm there, since I don't want the cats eating my food... Especially since there is no guarantee that whatever I'm eating is safe for a cat to eat. And also, our cats are very very fluffy, which means they shed fur everywhere. I don't want cat fur in my food. I don't care if cats go on the other tables, but I take them off the kitchen table whenever try to get onto it.

That being said, we absolutely allow the cats in our beds. It is so nice laying down next to a fluffy little animal that trusts you. I don't know why anyone would want to miss out on that.

Out kitten also conned us into allowing 2 paws on the counter in c/aww@lemmy.ml

I can see only one paw on the photo, so everything is fine

From the description:

This video clip shows HVO geologist Tim Orr sampling lava from an active pāhoehoe breakout on the episode 61g lava flow. The chemistry of these lava samples provides information on the magma plumbing system. Sampling has been a regular part of monitoring Kīlauea Volcano's ongoing Pu‘u‘ō‘ō eruption.

Today I learned that this is what that looks like. Very impressive.

The UN HRC just voted on a resolution condemning illegal unilateral sanctions for violating human rights. The only votes in support of the sanctions were from the US and Europe. in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Does a UN resolution achieve anything? I don't expect any sanctions to be lifted as a result of this...

Recommend me a good Matrix client (lemmygrad.ml)

I'd like to try Matrix, but I still don't know of a good client. I don't want Electron on my computer, so the official client is out of the question. I tried nheko, but I didn't like it (though I can install it again if it turns out that there is no better option).

So, can anyone here recommend me a Matrix client? Either terminal-based or GUI, both are fine.

Did you know you can print cool rainbow text to your terminal using two programs? (lemmygrad.ml)

The two programs involved are toilet and lolcat.

toilet is a program that takes text as input, and turns it into fancy multi-line letters. It has different "fonts" available for this purpose; all the available fonts are stored in the /usr/share/figlet directory. Here are just some examples:

Actually, toilet also has a built-in option to colour it, but it doesn't look very nice IMO, as the colour changes are too sudden:

lolcat is a program that takes some text, and prints the same text, but rainbow-coloured. Note that you need a terminal with 256-colour support (rather than just 16) for the desired effect. It can colour any text in rainbow:
