TOIlet can do everything figlet can do, but it can also do colors, more interesting fonts, and output to html and a couple other formats.

- 77pt77 6y agoFrom caca labs, the producers of libcaca. you can also play videos with it: -vo=caca on mpv or mplayer You really can't make this up...
- cyberbanjo 6y agoThis blew my mind the first time I saw it. Similar feeling to seeing my face manipulated by a WebGL shader. I wonder if I can use for video calls...
- noja 6y agoLooks great, but that name is off-putting.
- 2mol 6y agoIf you happen to use something like direnv, I like use toilet Projectname -f future --gay It gives me great pleasure to have a project banner this way, every time I cd into the project directory.
- Jaruzel 6y agoLooking at the website, I can see it's not been updated in several years, so maybe the use of 'gay' as a filter can be forgiven, but I think I'd prefer that filter to be called 'rainbow' or something. Edit: the links to the git repository are down as well.
- carlhjerpe 6y agoI doubt the author asks for forgiveness, it's a switch for enabling happy colors and nothing more. If they choose to call it gay, HBTQ, pride, happy, mdma, techno, acid or happy is very much up to them to do without being judged.
- mustardo 6y agogoogle define: gay * "light-hearted and carefree." * "brightly coloured; showy."
- dmos62 6y agoPoint being, gay meant happy/lighthearted way before it started to also mean homosexual: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/gay https://www.thefreedictionary.com/gay Etymology excerpt: [Middle English gai, lighthearted, brightly colored, from Old French, possibly of Germanic origin.]
- Fnoord 6y agoIn high school I learned gai in French means cheerful. The joy some 13 year olds had with that word. Incidentally, the developer of the tool, Sam Hocevar, is French. For me the colours are by default in Solarized Dark, which skews the 16 colors into, well, in this case French flag colours. To test this, consider $ msgcat --color=test
- ramblerman 6y agoWhat’s to forgive exactly?

- maeln 6y agoJust with the name of the library, I knew who made it ;) . Sam Hocevar is an exceptional developer but can't help himself when it comes to naming his project :) .
