ASCII Diagram, offline, Linux, FLOSS


Hi,

I'm looking for a soft to create ASCII diagram like (or better)
asciiflow.com/

ideally:
- FLOSS
- for linux
- offline
- no javascript.

I've found a candidate ascii-draw and it's write in Python ❤️ 🐍, but it's only available as flatpack.. :/

in reply to SpongeB0B

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ASCII-Draw flatpak, but that's not the only way to get it:
- there's a Snap
- it can be installed from source
- there's also an AUR package

But maybe you're not on Arch, don't like Snaps (can't blame anyone for that) and don't want to install from source (same)? What type of package are you looking for? Only native package? For which distro?

Ideally running the .py python foobar.py will be ideal, otherwise an .appimage

I think I will have to build it my self (the .appimage ) 😀

महिला लापता: मंडी मेले से गायब खिरमा देवी चंबा में मिली, प्रेमी के साथ जाने की बात कबूली


Himachal News: मंडी जिले के कांढ़ी सरोआ गांव से महिला लापता होने की घटना ने सभी को चौंका दिया था। 20 वर्षीय खिरमा देवी, जो 15 जून 2025 को सतकुड़ी नाग देवता मेले में गई थी, अचानक गायब हो गई थी। गोहर पुलिस ने तकनीकी सहायता से उसकी लोकेशन ट्रेस की और उसे चंबा जिले के किलाड़ क्षेत्र में ढूंढ निकाला। खिरमा ने बताया कि वह अपनी इच्छा से प्रेमी रमेश कुमार के साथ गई है।

पुलिस जांच और खिरमा का बयान


गोहर थाना प्रभारी ने बताया कि खिरमा से मोबाइल पर संपर्क किया गया। उसने कहा कि वह रमेश के साथ चंबा गई है और अब घर नहीं लौटना चाहती। रमेश (22), चंबा के सलाणी गांव का निवासी है और मनाली में होटल में काम करता है। खिरमा ने पुलिस को बताया कि उनकी दोस्ती फेसबुक और इंस्टाग्राम पर छह महीने पहले शुरू हुई थी।

सोशल मीडिया ने बदली जिंदगी


खिरमा की शादी तीन साल पहले रोहित कुमार से हुई थी, लेकिन उनका वैवाहिक जीवन सुखी नहीं था। संतान न होने और पारिवारिक असंतोष ने उन्हें सोशल मीडिया की ओर आकर्षित किया। यहीं से रमेश के साथ उनकी दोस्ती गहरी हुई, जिसने उनके जीवन को नया मोड़ दिया। महिला लापता होने की शिकायत उनके पति रोहित ने गोहर थाने में दर्ज कराई थी।

पुलिस की सक्रियता


पुलिस ने शिकायत के बाद तुरंत कार्रवाई शुरू की। तकनीकी संसाधनों का उपयोग कर खिरमा की लोकेशन का पता लगाया गया। हिमाचल पुलिस ने इस मामले में पारदर्शिता बरती और दोनों पक्षों के बयान दर्ज किए। खिरमा और रमेश को महिला थाना चंबा में पेश होने के लिए कहा गया है।

आगे की जांच


पुलिस इस मामले की गहराई से जांच कर रही है। खिरमा के बयान के आधार पर यह स्पष्ट है कि वह अपनी मर्जी से रमेश के साथ गई, लेकिन पुलिस सभी पहलुओं की पड़ताल कर रही है। यह मामला सोशल मीडिया के प्रभाव और व्यक्तिगत निर्णयों की जटिलता को दर्शाता है। महिला लापता होने की यह घटना अब एक नए दिशा में बढ़ रही है।

Mike Lee flees questions about deranged assassin tweet


Republican Sen. Mike Lee was caught fleeing from media questions about his inflammatory posts on the senseless murder of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman.

Over the weekend, the Utah senator posted a photo of Boelter in a latex mask, adding the caption, “This is what happens... When Marxists don’t get their way.” The backlash was swift, with many pointing at the copious amount of evidence that suggests Boelter was a conservative.

Now, a journalist for NBC News has shared a video of Lee running from questions about his post, including whether or not he regrets the tweet. Instead of answering, Lee and his staffers quickly walk away from the cameras, with one staffer attempting to cover the camera with his iPad.

KDE Plasma 6.4 released


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/31824667

The KDE community today announced the latest release: Plasma 6.4. This fresh new release improves on nearly every front, with progress being made in accessibility, color rendering, tablet support, window management, and more.

Plasma already offered virtual desktops and customizable tiles to help organize your windows and activities, and now it lets you choose a different configuration of tiles on each virtual desktop. The Wayland session brings some new accessibility features: you can now move the pointer using your keyboard’s number pad keys, or use a three-finger touchpad pinch gesture to zoom in or out. Plasma file transfer notification now shows a speed graph, giving you a more visual idea of how fast the transfer is going, and how long it will take to complete. When any applications are in full screen mode Plasma will now enter Do Not Disturb mode and only show urgent notifications, and when you exit full screen mode, you’ll see a summary of any notifications you missed. Now when an application tries to access the microphone and finds it muted, a notification will pop up. A new feature in the Application Launcher widget will place a green New! tag next to newly installed apps, so you can easily find where something you just installed lives in the menu. The Display and Monitor page in System Settings comes with a brand new HDR calibration wizard, and support for Extended Dynamic Range (a different kind of HDR) and P010 video color format has been added. System Monitor now supports usage monitoring for AMD and Intel graphic cards, it can even show the GPU usage on a per-process basis. Spectacle, the built-in app for taking screenshots and screen recordings, has much improved design and more streamlined functionality. The background of the desktop or window now darkens when an authentication dialog shows up, helping you locate and focus on the window asking for your password. There’s a brand-new Animations page in System Settings that groups all the settings for purely visual animated effects into one place, making it easier to find and configure them. Aurorae is a newly added SVG vector graphics theme engine for KWin window decorations.

You can read more about these and many other other features in the Plasma 6.4 anounncement and complete changelog.

Those Spectacle changes look good. The old UI made some amount of sense, if the primary use-case was taking complete screenshots, but even for that, there's probably a single shortcut to do that directly.
And I do find, I generally want a smaller cutout these days, because you can just fit more stuff onto modern displays, some of which is going to irrelevant.
in reply to Ephera

Those changes look amazing tbh. Just being able to resize the selection and having the magnifying lens is great.
in reply to Jure Repinc

need them to add pip for any window, swapped back to gnome fkr the extension, always useful

in reply to dil

What do you mean by pip in any window? I'm assuming you mean picture-in-picture, which doesn't make much sense to me if you can just rearrange the windows?
in reply to silly goose meekah

pip is an easily resizable overlay, sure you can set window always to front but then you can accidentally click it , like easily drag it around the screen away from whatever I need to see and use to an area thats currently unused, quick resize if I need to see it bigger, its just convenient. Using windows is a hassle compared to it, just open youtube with any browser, click the top tiny square button in the video for pip and youll see what im talking about.

Typically I use it to watch stremio, it isnt as resizable by itself and its annoying to have my keyboard controls switch to a different app, this avoids that. Also if installing something you can have a tiny little window anywhere on your screen over your stuff showing progress.

extensions.gnome.org/extension…

in reply to dil

isn't it possible with some external utility? OBS can capture individual windows with pipewire, and it can render that to a new window, so it must be possible with something easier too
in reply to ReversalHatchery

Why would it need to be easier? It works great has high performance? It just happens to be a gnome extension rather than a general linux app, is that what you mean, like use it outside gnome?
in reply to dil

I mean with something easier than OBS, but which works on KDE or any other desktop. something like OnTopReplica on windows

Data broker was used by shooter in Minnesota to get information about victims


The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.


By Evan Greer

in reply to Sem

For the LOVE OF FUCKING GOD, give us a FUCKING NATIONAL REGISTRY to halt data broker abuse!

Shit like this is gonna happen when data brokers collect and ALL of your personal info WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.

There should be a national registry that PROHIBITS data brokers from collecting our personal info.

We already have a National Do Not Call Registry that makes it so we cannot receive calls from robocallers and telemarketers, and there should be an opt-out system that makes it so data brokers CANNOT under ANY circumstances collect any info about us that can reveal our real identities. This is already a system that everyone in California is gonna get by 2026. That is NOT good enough! Expand it to the ENTIRETY of the United States and make it so everyone can opt-out!

This is gonna continue unless data broker abuse is stopped. donotdox.com/

in reply to HotWheelsVroom

if one good thing can come from these senseless murders, let it be this. these services should not be allowed to operate without strict regulation.
in reply to stopdropandprole

The only ways you can opt-out of a data broker in the here and now is to manually go to each data broker yourself and opt-out there, or pay money for a removal service that automatically removes your info and opts you out. That is not okay at all. We should have a clear and concise way to opt-out our personal, sensitive info from data brokers, and the best way for that is to give us a national registry like we already have with the National Do Not Call Registry that prevents telemarketers and robocallers from calling us. Everyone in California is already gonna get this by 2026 with a bill that makes it easier to delete online personal data, which is known as the Delete Act. This is not good enough! We need a national registry that prohibits data brokers from collecting our info outright, under any circumstances. If there's one good thing that should come out of these murders, it should be this. These services harvest our data and then sell it to anyone willing to pay, which should outright be made 100% illegal. These services should not be allowed to operate, and quite frankly, I'd like to see a few owners of some of these data broker companies in actual jail for the shit they've done to innocent people, such as been the cause of this recent shooting. Fuck all of them.

in reply to HotWheelsVroom

I don't give a shit if the owners weren't directly involved with the shootings. It's THEIR data broker company, and so, they are equally responsible for the murders of those people. Just because they didn't actually kill anyone doesn't mean they can't still be charged. It is THEIR website, THEIR company. The owners of all of these companies that were used in the Minnesota shooting should ALL, quite frankly, be arrested and face numerous charges for indirect murder. They weren't actually involved with the murders, but they should still be treated the same way as actual criminals should be: charges, fines, and a long prison sentence.

Oh yeah this one is going straight in my privacy talking points folder.

Anyone know the missiles fired to landing ratio? I figure it's got to be a large number of missiles/drones to get through the various missile defense systems.
in reply to zigzag

Iran fires a wave of drones first and then time the rockets to land simultaneously.

Iran has multiple missiles, cheaper ballistic ones which follow an arc trajectory, and hyper-sonic ones which are more actively guided

The hypersonic missiles seem to get through frequently.

The ballistic missiles and drones mostly get intercepted, however the goal of those is to deplete interception missile stocks. It is rumored Israel will run out of those in around 12 days.
