Top left is Get Out. Pretty decent thriller

I give it a spin every month or so to see how it’s getting on. I’m on macOS.

Every time I walk away unimpressed, despite its maker’s very deserved esteemed reputation.

I’m probably not seeing something. What I do see, however, is that I can’t search my scrollback history, nor can I select text without a mouse.

Also, pressing cmd+, on macOS opens the config inside TextEditor (yes, a separate GUI app) rather than in $EDITOR. It’s a small thing but I couldn’t figure out how to change it. Coming from Kitty, this drove me mad.

I’m not sure who Ghostty is for. My feeling is it’s aiming to be an excellent, polished experience for casual terminal users. But I didn’t see anything that Kitty or just tmux anywhere can’t do.

Literally me yesterday trying to decipher Baidu’s PaddleOCR docs. Have half a mind to aim Claude Code at the URL and just be like ‘plz help’

My interpretation is that humankind (or in the comic’s universe ‘beingkind’) has in general been a nightmare for tens of thousands of species. We’re by far the most invasive species on the globe, we’ve destroyed entire ecosystems, we’ve created institutions of suffering, and we’ve driven countless species to extinction.

So yeah, there are probably a couple of species that would like to settle the score if they could

Been following Synergy for a while, hoping they’ll announce gamepad/steam deck support. The art style looks amazing!

Broke: file names have a max character length.

Woke: split b64-encoded data into numbered parts and add .part-1…n suffix to each file name.

Do not – and I really cannot stress this enough – give any of those bears cocaine

Now do ‘ocasional’… ‘ocassion— fuck, ‘occasionnall—

Screw it

What an awesome name for a cat!

Hahaha that second of hesitation right before the edge

Any time I read the Kitty docs I’m just in awe of everything its maker, Kovid Goyal, has built for it. Like, not just individual features but entire protocols, which other terminals then adopt.

I just wish remote session persistence was more of a priority. Goyal dislikes tmux (to put it mildly) but doesn’t suggest an alternative to those who do their work on remote servers. If I’m already organizing my work in tmux over ssh, I might as well do the same locally as well – which unfortunately means missing out on some of Kitty’s best parts.

From what I’ve read the former president actually got quite a lot done. It just didn’t get talked about as much, at least in international news.

Man, those were good days…

Gotta say, it’s kind of a bummer to be downvoted for sharing my own experience. Are those ‘disagree’ or ‘doesn’t contribute to discussion’ votes?

AdGuard does more than DNS blocking. It strips ads from the response content.

Haven’t seen a single YT ad

I’ve really been enjoying Vivaldi. It’s also Chromium-based. It’s easy to customize and it has really good tab management. You can group tabs into workspaces, open split panes, and – this one I really appreciate – you can stack tabs by domain. Added bonus is that the company behind it, Vivaldi Technologies, is Norwegian, which ticks the ‘shop European’ box for me.

As for ad blocking, the shittiness of manifest v3 made me look at options outside the browser rather than rely on extensions. These days I pass all my traffic through adguard, which filters out ads from the request responses. All in all this has been a positive step, because now I can play around with any browser without ever seeing ads.

It all started with that damn gorilla

On an emotional level agree completely. But anyone who can admit they made a mistake, deserves a bridge back, even if the mistake was something they received ample warning about and even though their motivation for making the mistake stemmed from the worst of human nature… and even though their reason for regretting the mistake is because it’s now affecting them personally—

Okay, really need to force myself to believe these people deserve their bridge back
