I just want an 80×25 console, but that's no longer possible

news.ycombinator.com John Goerzen 2025-09-28 10:26:02

Somehow along the way, a feature that I’ve had across DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, and Linux — and has been present on PCs for more than 40 years — is gone. That feature, of course, is the 80×25 text console. Linux has, for awhile now, rendered its text console using graphic modes. You can read all about it here. This has been necessary because only PCs really had the 80×25 text mode (Raspberry Pis, for instance, never did), and even they don’t have it when booted with UEFI. I’ve lately been annoyed t

Ozempic May Be Less Effective for Emotional Eaters, Study Suggests

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-28 10:00:33

GLP-1 agonists—so-called “wonder drugs” like Ozempic or Wegovy that help individuals lower blood sugar levels and lose weight, among other things—yield significant results for some patients, but not all. People’s motivations to overeat may play a role in this, according to a new study. To investigate why some people don’t benefit from GLP-1 agonists as much as others, researchers observed 92 participants with type 2 diabetes in Japan during their first year of taking GLP-1 drugs.
