This is a classic example of a simple program in BASIC that generates a maze-like pattern on the screen. Let's break it down:
10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1)): This line prints a character to the screen. CHR$ is a function that converts a numeric value to a character. 205.5 + RND (1) generates a random number between 205.5 and 206.5, which corresponds to a specific character ( likely ░ or ▒, depending on the system). The RND (1) function generates a random number between 0 and 1.
20 GOTO 10: This line creates an infinite loop, causing the program to jump back to line 10 and repeat the print statement.
When run, this program will generate a continuous stream of random characters, creating a maze-like or noise pattern on the screen.
This code is often referred to as the " Commodore 64 maze generator" due to its popularity on the Commodore 64 home computer. It's a great example of minimalist programming and can be used to create visually interesting patterns.
They’re around the house all the time. Very used to people, and we are quite used to them. Gotta chase them sometimes when they come close, they break branches off the trees and drop thorny twigs all over the place.

Yes, in my experience. Which is fine, but as you said finding interesting communities (that are active) is a bit of a challenge.
For me it is the American News that is overwhelming and hard to filter out completely without filtering out everything.
DDG it to get a file, else it is quite simple to generate and customize your own. I do it a bit different from the “official” way, but whatever works, very flexible.
