@climagic Is that CoolRetroTerm? I love it, but I never manage to stick with it. The process repeats every few months. I'll use it for a week or two because it looks awesome, but then the novelty wears off and drift back to boring old Konsole. 😢

@climagic cow-ception ! I like it ! 😆

@climagic I feel there there should be some functional recursive way to write this! Using monads or some such shite

@climagic lol I had no idea you could pipe cowsay into cowsay

@climagic @bre4ch3r 😂

@climagic macderps dont fear, cowsay is on brew, and you too can have the joy of piping a cow into a cow

@climagic perfection 👌

@climagic saw this exact joke on twitter today without attribution. so sad

@climagic I saw this from someone's boost, and realized that I didn't know what would happen if I boosted a boost, and I'd probably wondered that for over a year by now, so of course, I did it (for the first time), and mastodon made it so I boosted the original post (OP aka over powered). Then I hit reply, and I expected the same thing to happen, and it did, here I am!

@climagic are you using Cathode?

@climagic Thank you sooo much! You made me to have a look again at coolretroterm. I tried it long time ago and couldn't use it for at least my second terminal as it didn't support my keyboard layout. Actual version works fine! Again: Thank you soo much!
