For something run by a greedy little pigboy, that checks out. Can’t have the poors criticizing those defenceless billionaires and harming their reputation, now can we?

It sounds like your boss needs to stop being anyone’s boss. That kind of view is going to lead to piles of tech debt and everything that comes with it.

The protocols designed for Kitty are great, but I when I last gave Kitty itself a try, I felt it was extremely opinionated in a very off-putting way.

It was advertised as being highly extensible and scriptable, but despite that, I found it to be less flexible than my old setup which wired up tmux with Python scripts. For instance, I was able to track which pane was previously active when creating a new split, allowing me to have the newly-created pane’s bashrc read the old pane’s bash /proc/ entry to copy the environment variables. That wasn’t possible in Kitty. And although Kitty’s splits layout were functional, resizing the splits themselves was an unconfigurable pain in the ass because the sizing is based on width/height rather than bounding boxes.

I would normally chalk that up to growing pains of a new project, but reading through the GitHub issues and documentation didn’t leave me with the impression that the author cared about how something could be done in Kitty, but only that it could be done in the most basic sense. If the user’s workflow would benefit from having a partial overlay or popup, tough shit—they can either use a full overlay or create a layout for it.

It didn’t sit well with me, and moving to Kitty full time would have been a downgrade in productivity for practically no real benefit.

I would prefer Kitty.

Is there any particular reason why you prefer that one specifically? Out of all the newer terminal emulators I have tried, the only one I disliked more than kitty was warp.

Meanwhile: private prisons at home…

Trend chasing with FOMO whipped cream.

It’s good that the community stepped up when CD Projekt didn’t.

We all know the answer to C. In a couple of years it will be a good time to open a “tech debt reduction” consulting company.

Main character syndrome. It comes with the territory of being a narcissist.

How capable are LLMs at replacing software jobs above an entry-level grade? I imagine giving a gaggle of fresh grads the entirety of human knowledge and asking them to create software would create something, but I don’t imagine the outcome would be high enough quality to have a net positive in productivity after someone has to spend the next 5 years adding to or changing it.

Sounds familiar. Hype first, promise “next year” availability, deliver on promises never.

I haven’t hit one of these myself yet so I can’t say for sure, but as far as what I have read, it looks like it.

No. It presents the captcha on your PC, then you need to scan the QR code from your phone.

Given the serious crimes they have already committed, all members of the cabinet would likely face criminal prosecution under a new administration—even within the completely dysfunctional U.S. legal system.

I’m not holding my breath. It would be great if I’m wrong, but my bingo card has the next admin proclaiming “now is the time for healing and unity, not vengeance” instead of actually enforcing the consequences that are supposed to come with actions.

Any old photo of soot dust will do.

I don’t like AI being jammed into everything as much as the next person, but some of these are just ridiculous.

1. Knocking Firefox for AI functionality, but not Chrome? Chrome downloads an entire 4 GB local model without even telling you yet still sends queries to Google’s hosted models.

2. Recommending ls as a replacement for eza is a stupid and redundant suggestion. Nobody learns to download eza first; eza is installed as a replacement for ls because it provides more features than coreutils ls. The cherry on top is that if you use a distro with uutils, your ls is also on this list.

3. Good luck to any purist with replacing curl with wget. libcurl is everywhere and in everything.

4. “Linux Kernel”

5. Both LLVM and gdb. I guess we’re going back to the days of printf debugging, boys.

They also need red vision cones to show where the un-stealth area is.

Not just media companies. Media companies where he has a say over the approval of their mergers and acquisitions.

They should switch to 4.3e5 notation. Slightly more precision will help me know if I’m paying $40000 or $43000 per gallon.

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by profiteering opportunism.

Does this already have a name? If not, can we call it “Riccitiello’s Law”?
