It would be great if we could use our own openAI/claude accounts and pay a smaller subscription...this may be cool, but it's too expensive, I'd just like to play around...
There's also a tournament taking place monthly or so I think, through that website, which is an amazing idea. I keep meaning to sign up but I'm afraid I'm gonna get beaten up badly, I don't want to ruin my memory of being good at those games :P

have you tried SylphyHorn [0]? there is a variant working on windows11, too. I use it daily, because I was missing exactly this functionality. But it also has other nice shortcuts, too.

maybe try visidata (http://visidata.org), it handles sqlite and postgres among others. But personally I've only used it for csv/tsv/excel files, it handles them beautifully, with vim-style bindings.

I didn't know white noise causes hearing damage, sounds plausible, it's mildly annoying; the brown noise though sounds more like a waterfall and the effect is really mild and calming.
