You can ponify messages (i.e. replaces words search as ‘everyone’ with ‘everypony’) by
using fortune | ponypipe
instead of using fortune
. ponypipe
can be downloaded from https://github.com/maandree/ponypipe.
Alternatively you can use pinkie
(or pinkiepie
), which can be
downloaded from https://github.com/maandree/pinkie-pie, which is just
fortune | ponypipe
. There is also a large sed
script, similar to
ponypipe
: http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlelinux/comments/srixi/using_ponysay_with_a_ponified_fortune_warning/
However I think ponypipe
as better at replacing words than the sed
script, but I haven’t used the script so I wouldn’t know for sure.
