Updates To Terminal 3

Alright you twisted freaks! You may have noticed that Terminal 3 is now displaying RSS news feeds from a bunch of sites I follow. The idea was to create a constant stream of news items that were a bit more comprehensive than the likes of the usual legacy bullshit that one might get from Google News or other mainstream news aggregators.

Now trying to get these items to display in a style that was consistent with the look and feel of this website turned out to be a bit of a ball-ache, and so I did what every other useless bastard does in the 21st century and asked AI to write the code for me. Viola! AI to the rescue! Pretty fucking impressive I have to say.

It did take a bit of going back and forth to get it looking the way that I wanted it to, but I can now see at least some potential in using Artificial Intelligence (although I'm not going to ask for its political analysis any time soon and would recommend not sticking it in an autonomous machine that is armed to the goddamned teeth).

Otherwise, I can safely say that LLMs are pretty useful for such trivial tasks, and I got to learn a bit of php, html and javascript along the way.
