[Kupietz] Do you one better: I have an ascii art interpreter in my site's CLI mode. You can request any image from my site with an `-a` or `--ascii-art` flag and it will render it on the fly as ASCII art: https://michaelkupietz.com/cli.html?cmd=load%20https://michaelkupietz.com/sandbox,images%20%7C%20grep%20398,images%20--ascii-art%20398

[tantek] World.
#
[Kupietz] Sometimes I feel like we should have a #pleasantries channel, just for people to say “good morning“ and “hello“.
#
[tantek] #indieweb-random is fine for that it seems for most folks
#
[Kupietz] Yeah, but sometimes people say things of substance in there. It interferes with the perfect Zen flow of a river of “Hello” “Good morning” Morning!” “Hello” “Morning Indieweb” “Hello”. Having to turn my brain on is jarring
#
[Kupietz] ;-p

[fnhipster] Any vinyl collector in the US who did record store day today?

#
[Murray] I'm in the UK, but I did take a look. Nothing really worth the travel time for me this year
#
[fnhipster] It's been a while since I did a Record Store Day. I planned this one as something fun to do, but I did not expect to stand in line for almost 4 hours. I picked a few good albums. It's not worth the time unless you are after something specific. I'm more interested in the new Nine Inch Noize album, but there's no vinyl of that yet.

#
[Murray] yeah, that's my overwhelming experience, basically since ~2020. If there's something you want, you have to get in early, beat the queues, buy it, and then run away. It's become more of a frustration than a fun day to go look for some interesting music 😅

[tantek] Ohhhh that explains the long lines outside Amoeba that I saw this morning before it was even open!
