  • all things aside, is current ghostty any good, or still an audiophile consolephile-ware?

    i'm generally reluctant to try something which reeks of intensive self-promotion, but few months ago i decided to finally see what's the hype about, and, well, it's a terminal emulator.

    wezterm does much more, and with a much cleaner ui, and it's programmable, and the author doesn't remind me that hashicorp is a thing that exists.

  • (as the ~fuken-mupet said to me in a conversation about ~absolt-toole's reimplementation of poon in the self-hosted thun, the unlimited poop is an exciting feature of the new pooke64 release.)

  • i remain very happy seeing that they won't be able to leave the subculture of weird nazi functional language nerds with no social acumen.

  • what i actually want to see in space are billionaires doing extended evas. not necessarily suited up, too.

  • i hereby propose a new metric for a popular publication, the epstein number (Ē), denoting the number of authors who took flights to epstein's rape island. generally, credible publications should have Ē=0. this one, after a very quick look, has Ē=2, and also hosts sabine hossenfelder.

  • github produced their annual insights into the state of open source and public software projects barrel of marketing slop, and it's as self-congratulatory as unreadable and completely opaque.

  • also, jesus, rot13? what are they, children lost in the usenet?

  • these people don't understand that you don't need to be invested in a community to dig deep into the lore; adhd, hyperfocus and sleeplessness are reasons enough.

  • very not-a-cult behaviour, completely dissimilar to what scientologists do.

  • ah the cookie pop-ups, the wretched cookie pop-ups (that have nothing to do with the gdpr, but the americans always know better).

  • nostr neatly covers all obsessions of dorsey. it's literally fash-tech (original dev, fiatjaf, is a right-wing nutjob; and current development is driven by alex gleason of the truth dot social fame), deliberately designed to be impossible to moderate (“censorship-resilient”); the place is full of fascists, promptfondlers and crypto dudes.

  • at least the dude who writes most music for elder scrolls online seems to be decent enough.

  • if you enjoy older elder scrolls music, don't ask too many questions about jeremy soule either.

    Python Software Foundation withdraws $1.5 million NSF grant proposal due to actually having been driven by ethics

  • unfortunately. hard to say if this is caused by them being primarily contrarians or because alice is too much into warsaw pact nostalgia, or because it's edgy; edgelordism and reflexive contrarianism cause so many people to lose the contact with reality.

  • unless they talk about ukraine, then they're just a bunch of sorry vatniks.
