I feel fine after the switch.

That says a lot because I really liked WezTerm (I was sponsoring Wez on github because of it) and I still do. But, the development stopped to a crawl, Wez has other priorities (obviously) and it was time for me to find an alternative.

Ghostty is fine, but I want a scripting language for my terminal - I don't need much, but those few little things mean a lot to me. Based on the Rex docs, I will be able to make it work for me the way I used WezTerm before the switch.

At this point, I'm really looking forward to Rex.

I've been a laggard in switching to Ghostty because I used WezTerm and wrote a plugin to customize it to my liking. I switched to Ghostty just because I got tired of nothing happening in the WezTerm land and wanted to try something different.

Rex will allow me to use my old workflow again.

I loved his act in Babylon 5. RIP Mr Bester

As a big fan of the whole Foundation saga, I don't remember any wars in "Robots and Empire" 3 books. Granted, those were the only books I've read only once (and a long time ago), but I'm pretty sure there was no war.

Because we are in a gold rush and the best thing to sell are the shovels.

Well, you're one of today's lucky 10000.

> When and why did people stop using Firefox?

Approximately at the time when majority of the Mozilla resources started going into non-browser projects. And pretty much for the same reason.

> Install gitdot-cli to push and clone private repos

Hmmm... no. Why should I? Just let me use git.

Apple Music can not be uninstalled. That's pretty much "press ganged" in my book.

There are a lot of posts from prominent open source maintainers about this topic and from a far away, I always wonder if the solution is actually simpler than they want to admit: treat the project like a real business.

`curl` (and similarly important projects) have a tremendous leverage with the big tech and I don't see any of them on curl's sponsors page. Why not?

The sales pitch (and yes, treating the project like a business implies sales) would be simple: we are curl, you depend on us, pay us 1M/anually and with that money we'll hire the experts that we need to continue the development and support of the project. Raise a few millions (recurring) and secure the project's financial stability. Pay yourself a respectable salary, hire people. If "the big tech" refuses, publicly call them out on it. Connect with other prominent projects and act together. The internet depends on you, you should be awarded.

I have a tremendous respect for curl as a project and Daniel as a person (based on his writtings, never met him) and I know it's easy to comment out the stuff on the internet from a safe distance, but I still wonder if things could be actually different.

No, they will promise 7 years of update but kill it in 2.

Why not rewrite claude-code in Rust?

So, Anthropic acquires Bun team because claude-code uses Bun. They port Bun from Zig to Rust presumably because Rust "is better" (imagine big air quotes here). Again presumably, they want to make claude-code "better". Why make it so complicated? With all the power of LLMs they have, surely they can make claude-code the best possible by writting it in Rust directly.

> what fossils are stored in within a museum is referred to as a "repository"

I own a cute domain for that: repositoryum.com. I had the plans for it, but it's one of those that never came to a realization.

I remember when Chrome got released in very early beta, it was a breath of fresh air. Clearly, these are different times but I kinda hope that Ladybird (https://ladybird.org/) will become a worthy newcomer to the browser scene soon.

> Apple’s software is the best [...] compared to Google's or Microsoft's

Honestly, that's such a low bar to hit.

I love the name :D

"This project is source-available. Commercial use is strictly prohibited."

Nevertheless, very cool. Love those keyboards, planning to replace my K1 with a new one soon.

I see a lot of comments that are "somebody should fork this" or "community will fork it" or similar.

I didn't see a single comment of "I will fork it" type.

Love hammerspoon. I use it to map double CMD to swap between the terminal and the browser.

I'm willing to cancel my Claude subscription because of this.

I already knew that. :)

It's not that simple.

In the email you have linked to, he does not support tivoization. He simply says that he finds the term offensive (which is really funny coming from him).

Torvalds has also publicly stated that he doesn't think that tivoization benefits users, but it's not his battle to fight. More info on that topic can be found in the linked YT (linked at the precise time he is answering the question about tivoization, but the whole video is about GPL v2 vs GPL v3).

Instead of that, put this in .gitconfig:

[init]

    defaultBranch = master

There can be more than one post about it.

Because of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45960368

The difference being that JS is used a lot and XSLT not so much.

As someone who hasn't upgraded yet, what is causing the 15s wait after a locked system? That sounds terrible.

There is something funny going on in the benchmarking section. If you look at the charts, they don't benchmark the same servers in 4 examples.

Each of the 4 charts have data for Ferron and Caddy, but then include data for lighttpd, apache, nginx and traefik selectively for each chart, such that each chart has exactly four selected servers.

That doesn't inspire confidence.

I belong to the "small business" group and as such I would be entitled to "free" plan. But, I would actually prefer to pay and have the assurance that the team will be here to maintain it.

Please list the prices.
