My whole interface in @… is in a language with non-ascii symbols.
I don’t even know how to fix it. Help!

Temporary freebie: A shooty, slashy, RPG-y game mixing retro and modern sensibilities. A blend of influences from Gauntlet & Smash TV to Zelda & Angband, Ampersat is a handcrafted adventure but with appeal to Roguelite fans. Battle ASCII creatures in colorful areas & free letters to return language to the village! https://

I just saw this ASCII text account called @hypernode.bsky.social & it reminded me of my UCLA mainframe days...
Anyone remember a real-time multi-player game on the #mainframe called #HUNT? You'd telnet in & control an 'X' on a 16x16 grid, firing bombs, slime & other wea…

Ja es wurde pseudo behoben und ja es hat offensichtliches den Klartext wahrgenommen. Base64 so wie ASCII ist keine Verschlüsselung nur unlesbar von Menschen und das .env kommt nicht in's Git.

Ctrl-ZINE is an independent smol web project, and its Issue 17 Vol. 2 happens to contain pieces by two of my favorite people on the fediverse. @… has a great piece here about his time on and thoughts about the fediverse, and @… wrote…

It has been 0 days since the last unicode fuckup ....
Man, 2025 und es gibt grosse Firmen die noch immer kein sauberes konsistentes Encoding von nicht-ASCII Zeichen hinbekommen.

Binsparse: A Specification for Cross-Platform Storage of Sparse Matrices and Tensors
Sparse matrices and tensors are ubiquitous throughout multiple subfields of computing. The widespread usage of sparse data has inspired many in-memory and on-disk storage formats, but the only widely adopted storage specifications are the Matrix Market and FROSTT file formats, which both use ASCII text. Due to the inefficiency of text storage, these files typically have larger file sizes and longer parsing times than binary storage formats, which directly store an in-memory representation to di…
