Uh, dear debian installer, why the tmux terminal thing barking like a dog?

A terminal showing a listing of /dev but the top banner says "Wuff ---- Wuff!!"

@benjojo is that not the text from GNU Screen's visual bell?

@0x47df oh maybe? I've never encountered this before and figured this was one of the many weird debian easter eggs

@benjojo @0x47df When screen crashes, it sometimes goes "And suddenly, the dungeon collapses"

@jamesog how bizzare! I've used screen basically for years but I guess I've never seen the visual bell thing until now
