I noticed yesterday an onslaught of AI posts to Reddit (weather, whatbirdisit, Michigan, Minnesota). I would have to ask my wife to look at these posts to ensure I wasn't having a stroke or something because they looked like real images or writing, but they wouldn't make any sense as a whole.

Can you configure tmux to use "normal" modifier keys? in c/[email protected]

I too have found searching for tmux information online to be difficult. This recent change to my dotfiles I could never really figure out because it wasn't really documented anywhere except a reddit post and a PR. https://github.com/dannyfritz/dotfiles/commit/c7c9272dfdf46e4526264ffdf3d4b64b4a629a2f

I remember azure client (the blue frog one if I'm remembering). It allowed for streaming video files as the torrent was downloading it.

Nice large paintings to hang on the wall.

are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I use both while Lemmy's community is smaller. I yearn for a world with more small owners of the internet.

A membership cooperative isn't a bad idea I suppose for a cloud service. I think having users vote on the administration of a service could get hard to work with though unless the vote was to delegate it out.

Cooperatives are still a corporation, but the ownership is distributed more than the CEO style corporation we are used to.

Ghostty: Reflecting on Reaching 1.0 (mitchellh.com)

Ghostty 1.0 is out.

If you told me two years ago that I would be releasing a terminal emulator, I wouldn't have believed you. I've always been a fan of the terminal, my entire career was built around shipping terminal-first software. But they're a solved problem, right? That's what I thought.

I started the project in 2022 merely as a way to play with Zig, do some graphics programming, and deepen my understanding of terminals. I never intended to release it. I didn't think there was innovation to be had. I thought I would learn a lot over a few months and move on.

But as I worked on it, I looked at other terminals differently. I saw tradeoffs that I didn't like. I saw features that I wanted. I saw performance that I could improve. I saw stagnation. There are many fantastic terminals out there and you should use them if they work for you. But I wanted something different and thought maybe others did too.

And so Ghostty was born. It's not perfect, it's not done, it's not for everyone. But it's mine. It's a reflection of my values and my vision for what a terminal could be.

Ghostty to get public release in December (mitchellh.com)

After nearly two years of development and private beta testing1, I’m excited to share that Ghostty 1.0 will be publicly released in December 2024 as an open-source project under the MIT license.

In this blog post, I want to restate the broader goals of the Ghostty project and outline the specific goals for the 1.0 release. I have ambitious plans for Ghostty, but I also want to set clear expectations for what to expect on day one versus what will come in the future.

In short, Ghostty 1.0 aims to be the best drop-in replacement for your current terminal emulator on macOS and Linux. Ghostty will be fast, feature-rich, and have a platform-native GUI while being the most standards-compliant terminal emulator available.
