Authoritarian means will not generate the anarchist ends.

Imma reuse my joke from last time this was posted:

The Green Revolution deserve AA capability, too!

it was inherent to the terminal that you can’t position the cursor and select text using the mouse, and also inherent that there are not right-click menus

There may be terminals for which that is a limitation, but with neovim in konsole, I can (left) click to move the cursor or select text and right-click to get a contextual menu.

Separately, the TUI libary we use for RESTMan is Brick and does support mouse events. IIRC we only support mouse-wheel scrolling, but there’s a lot more that is possible.

So, I think it might worth your time to try some TUI alternatives to your GUI environment.

Your larger point that TUI can’t fully replace GUI stands, at least IMO. Even for plain text formats (e.g. dotty) that I want to edit with a fixed-width font, an image (pre)view can be essential to some tasks. I don’t usually find that’s true for coding tasks, but design docs often benefit from charts.

You might in the future. Both vim and neovim are accepting genAI code contributions. There’s a vim-classic fork around, but it is “rolled back” to pre-vimscript9.

Yeah, but the LLM will eventually realize there’s no fixing it and delete everything. /s

Under capitalism there’s no lowest quality level at which workers can refuse to exchange their labor for pay.

I didn’t know Jacob Drawfee posted here. BONUS

I just bail on any site that requires age verification. It sucks, but there are still some that work. I do hear that using a VPN can often help.

I’m not the best guide for how often to shower, but every dermatologist-written guide I’ve read does indicate that a daily shower is unnecessary for most people and will (for most people) dry your skin. It can also damage your hair. This is true even in the absence of soap/detergent/shampoo.

That said, if you do anything that causes you to sweat, I think it’s prudent to do a quick rinse because you always smell worse to other people than you do to yourself due to olfactory saturation.

Downey is invited to the BBQ, but he’s not trying to go full Dolezal. Never go full Dolezal.

Sorry. I didn’t pick the acronym, it comes from the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.13163.pdf I’m not sure why there’s no “M” in the acronym, but I should probably spell things out when I actually want collaborators.

While I’m dropping links, I will also drop https://github.com/granule-project/ where Gerty and Granule live and where real research is done.

If someone wants to collab, I’ve been writing various codes around it: https://gitlab.com/bss03/grtt

Right now, it’s a bunch of crap. But, it’s published, and I occasionally try to improve it.

Also, Granule and Gerty are actual working implementations, tho I think some of the “magic” is in the right grading ring for the runtime, and they and more research oriented, allowing for fairly arbitrary grading rings.

The whole industry needs rebuilt from the foundations. GRTT with a grading ring that tightly controls resources (including, but not limited to RAM) as the fundamental calculus, instead of whatever JS happens to stick to the Chome codebase and machine codes spewed by your favorite C compiler.

I like you, weirdo.

This deserves every upvote the top-level post got.

If I had a ginormous girlfriend I would love to watch her push and/or knock over boxes to make paths that get me to her part of the level.

Neither vim nor neovim are safe! (I hear emacs is fine, but who really knows all the people that provided contributions to the pile of elisp they call their emacs.)
