This reminded me something you might find fascinating. We grew up playing a similar game in India. It's Antakshari[0] and it means "The game of the ending letter". There was even a popular game show for over 10 years in the 2000s on Indian TV.

I'm gonna give an English example, but in a tonal language like Hindi, Mandarin, Thai, it would make "more" sense. Players have to sign a song that starts with the same tone as the previous song ended on.The game starts with a couplet to initiate the game and since the last word of the couplet ends with an m, the first song starts with that. And yeah, only Indian/Bollywood songs are allowed but I'm gonna break that rule to make an example. Taking tones don't really make sense in English so I'll use the last word.

Player one might sing "Mamma mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you", and the next goes with "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray." and then the next starts with gray. The person who can't find a song is out of the game, and you can't repeat songs.

How about a digital garden post about digital gardens:?


That's an awesome link, thank you!


I was curious so I studied them briefly. Please take it with a grain of salt.

ShellGPT offers a lot of flexibility with outputs(comments, code snippets, and documentation besides shell commands), operating modes (chat mode or REPL), model choice (supports locally hosted models like LocalAI), and custom roles. Clipea, on the other hand, is a simple tool for generating shell commands and has zsh shell integration.

They essentially perform the same task, but the choice depends on your needs.


Not sure how impressive a draw is, but I did a 32-32 for my first play through. Thanks for teaching me a new game!


The Bring Your Own Role is a good option to try.


Thanks for sharing. Very helpful!


As long as Figma and Figjam are priced as is, I'll be using it.

I also use Lunacy[0] and Penpot[1].

Lunacy is a cross-platform alternative and works natively with Sketch files. It's free and I love it!

Penpot is an open-source alternative and runs in the browser like Figma.


frontendmasters[0] is really good for guided video tutorials and classes. They don't only focus on frontend but teach everything so the title is a little misleading.

An exclamation at the end would fix this, but yeah, I'm of the opinion that censoring the 'How' didn't distract from the article until I saw this thread.


I’ve had a not so great experience and could use some advice. I opted to install WSL using the command line but there was a problem, so I removed it and reinstalled the app titled simply ‘Ubuntu’ from the Microsoft Store but the problem still persists.

The problem is whenever I run any command in WSL, the progress bar/status stalls or never updates itself. Installing a new language, non package, Ubuntu stuff, whatever, doesn’t seem to work on first try. Once I ‘Ctrl+C’ and re-enter the command, it works flawlessly.

Besides that, I think Windows 11 has been great so far! I like it.


Might be the terminal? I’m using Terminal Preview and never had an issue.


I've been using the new Terminal ever since it was first announced. It was fine before I upgraded to Windows 11 from 10.


I ended up doing a fresh install of 11, now that I think about it. IIRC, I did an upgrade first and all kinds of crap was messed up.
