I love that there's still some really cool ANSI art being produced, like I remember on the very best BBSes ;)
For example https://16colo.rs/pack/impure89/impure89.ans
Does anyone take commissions for these sorts of pieces? Nothing nearly as elaborate as this but ....similar style, for a terminal application.
How to make those colors work on Windows, Linux and the IDE!

@tuxedocomputers I currently use the programmer-dvorak layout, which I've stickered on my keyboard with a lable printer. The lables are black letters on white, so, I can see 'm at night since the keyboard backlight doesnt work. #Tuxedo, you are offering custom #keyboard layouts only in ISO form, I like ANSI better, also, I might want to sell my computer later in the future, so, naturaly I need the #ANSI US keyboard, wich is common in the #Netherlands, anyway. #linux
@shawnhooper @Janeishly @TheLancashireman I had this here as my first device to the online world.
But even had the authorization of the German Federal Post Office (at that time also called the yellow plague)

3 years ago, as I just had created Offpunk, I started to implement what would become ansicat : a way to render HTML (or any format) in your terminal
Besides a lot of technical learning, the biggest lesson was probably how bad people are at writing texts and abusing any format.

IMHO this one of the best things I ever put on the internets

ABC shut down FiveThirtyEight, once an amazing site for data-driven journalism and sports analysis.
I loved incorporating 538's data into old-school #retrocomputing and BBS projects, like my ANSI "Elex Forecast" BBS door. It used data from their 2016 and 2020 Election Forecast visualizations.

Recently I've been working on a fork of libansilove and ansilove-c that adds support for using fonts and color palettes derived from the Atari ST programs ANSIterm and FANSI.
FANSI was a really slick ANSI editor for the ST from Eric March.
It was a godsend to me as a teen when it was released in 1994. Finally I had a way to draw my own ANSI art in the full 16 colors.
If only it had come out a few years earlier!

In 2021, I did a #furry #ZZT #cyberpunk action/puzzle game, "Cyber Purge". In 2024, I overhauled it for itch.io! Become a nonbinary hacker and rescue an immersive VR game from a fascist! Old-school shooting/puzzle-solving await!
I made an #ANSIArt Discord Reactive Images set for @techokami! I had a lot of fun making these! 
For my final big pic for 2024, here's me posing for a camera on my way to the rave club. Because I don't get caught in fish nets... I wear them!
