I don't even know what a terminal is anymore.

In Avalon (2001), a woman spends her days immersed in an illegal, high stakes virtual reality game. Players can only exit the game by completing its missions, but some never return. Then she hears rumors of a hidden, more advanced level and she sets out to uncover its secrets.

I wrote about how we built the Zellij web-client to bring persistent terminal sessions to the browser.

Just found OpenCode as an alternative to Claude Code
Unlike other AI coding tools, it's:
✅ 100% open source
✅ Provider-agnostic (works with Claude, GPT, local models)
✅ Built by terminal enthusiasts for terminal lovers
✅ Client/server architecture for flexibility
Perfect for developers who want full control over their AI coding workflow.

Inspired by the @rl_dane post ( https://polymaths.social/@rl_dane/statuses/01K2HZ6FD6NY14CZS63EPPNKX5) about "Cool computers always have/had a light background. This is where I live now. I ain't movin'" — I remember about some words, I've read in the man 4 vt.
I've already changed default console font via vidcontrol, so why not to try change a colors for the text terminals too?
There are some sysctl variables, which can be changed via /boot/loader.conf — 16 variables for 8 base colors and for the 8 bright versions of the same colors. And the same 16 colors are listed in the description of my beloved Solarized color theme!
So, I just entered the necessary hex values to the /boot/loader.conf and rebooted. Result was far from ideal — somehow, the red/blue and cyan/brown colors are swapped (see the pic 1), despite all color codes are matched with corresponding hex color codes .
Ok, I entered blue hex color code to the variable with red code and vice versa. And the text descriptions of colors from "vidcontrol show" got the right colors. Despite, some bright colors displayed as shades of grey (see pic. 2).
Don't know why, maybe it is bug in the Intel's i915kms or in the vt driver …
The last change I've made — swapped the white and black color definitions to get something like Solarized Light. The result is on the pic. 3

A colleague just recommended fx, the TUI to explore json.
A bit more user friendly than jq, but also on some aspects more powerful? Worth exploring!

Tachyonfx brings web-level animations to the command line..
Then Ratzilla puts it back in browsers where it belongs 🤷♂️

I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb 💕
If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.
The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!
We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?
Not curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And no, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)
The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.
