‘We’re going to sell Grandad’s old house,’ Dad said.

‘No! It’s so much fun there!’ Cherry complained.

‘And Mum grew up there!’ Apple chimed in.

‘We don’t need another house. And where we live is more practical,’ Dad explained.

‘But there’s #less room to play here! Grandad’s house has a big backyard.’ Cherry insisted.

‘There’s also the magic woods out beyond the yard,’ Apple added.

‘Apple, don’t put ideas in your sister’s head. There’s no magic woods,’ Dad said sternly.

‘Well, actually...’ Mum’s eyes lit up.

With the sound of pursuit approaching, they reined in at a fork in the trail.

"Which way?" asked the barbarian.

The rogue pointed left. "This one. #Less of them'll follow."

"That's wrong," snapped the seer.

"Okay, you should know." The barbarian trotted right.

The rogue glanced at his remaining companion with suspicion. "Why was I wrong?"

"You meant 'fewer', is why."

The #MastoPrompt for Thursday 5 December 2024 is:

#less

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text so I can boost your post.

Fun learning of the day: Sometimes #Less (the style sheet language) calculates values, sometimes not. "@max-width-desktop" once gets replaced as "999px" and once as "1000px - 1px" - the letter doesn't work (in a media query at least)

Causes the wiki search bar to not appear on the #postmarketOS wiki.

Just lovely warm glow of the #Moon's orb, backlighting the silhouetted blades of a few #tree #leaves, against a #black #nightsky. Stunning minimalist composition shows us how very much #less can be.

Did you ever wish to narrow down the content that you are currently looking at in the less pager to lines matching a regular expression?

Turns out that pressing '&' and entering the regexp is all that is required to do this.

Just use an empty regexp to widen the view again, i.e. '&<enter>'

You are welcome! 😉

Compiling the latest release of less so I can get that sweet, sweet wordwrap feature.
#Less #Debian #ThatDebianLife #CompileIt!

Umm... can someone who has the spoons handy log an issue that their latest release (non-beta) tarball is double-gzipped? (github.com/gwsw/less/issues)

#SpoonTheory -- I'm doing fine, but dealing with github REALLY DOES cost a couple extra spoons even when you're having a good day, lol. Stop using that MSFTy GPL-violating crap, my peeps! :P~

Organizations that use #mainframes want things that are officially supported, not just #OpenSource tools made available.

So first the fun technical work of porting #git #bash #curl #make #perl #vim #ncurses & #less to z/OS was done, and now...

IBM Open Enterprise Foundation for z/OS!

And it's available as a no cost add on to what these organizations already get from IBM 👍

What a journey this has been 🤩
