Good to know and thanks for your explanation and all the work you do.
Why does ChatGPT need to know that? That should be illegal.

It looks well done. I am not spending two grand to get one.

I upvoted you just for the Dune reference.

Nope. A quote from Dr. Hipp:

"How do I pronounce the name of the product? I say S-Q-L-ite, like a mineral."

Re:LastPass notifies users of yet another data breach on Thursday June 25, 2026 @12:29PM (#48675814)
KeePassXC is not for a "normal" user. It really needs to get default entry tempates [1] out the door.

I am sure there are some bad billionaires. That moniker is used to demonize them for the most part.
It's an article about emacs so I guess people were curious enough to ask that question.
Re:What was nice about the UI of Windows 2000 on Thursday June 18, 2026 @03:54PM (#48590646)
It was clean and consistent (pretty much).

Then you haven't been paying attention.
Re:BBEdit 16 on Thursday May 21, 2026 @03:27PM (#48227778)
Same. Recently moved to Windows (blah) but if I move back, that's a purchase for me.
Re:Postmortem: TanStack npm supply-chain compromise on Monday May 11, 2026 @08:51PM (#48102823)
It's the "nuke it from orbit" approach but "the only way to be sure".
The 5th generation kindle came out in ... 2012. That's a pretty good run.

Wow that's certainly a blast from the past. Even had one for a while.

For a casual computer at home, I'd get one. Everything I do is practically web based anyway.
Re:Textadept on Wednesday March 04, 2026 @10:15AM (#47248699)
From the web page: You can also group key bindings into modes such that while a mode is active, Textadept ignores all key bindings outside that mode until the mode is unset (e.g. Vim-style modal editing). The keys documentation describes all of this in more detail.

The War Powers Act actually does allow this. Congress has to be back filled within 48 hours after the action (and they were). He can also station troops up to 60 days without congressional approval.

Oh I hope that don't do that.

You recall correctly.
I wish they would allow Microsoft Family to have personal domains again. :(

Linux phones are...what? Oh, just like Linux won the desktop. Never mind.
That isn't a good comparison at all. "Don't use it" is a valid choice. I use it. None of my kids do. It's also "free" for you to use. So maybe stop trying to force them to do things while providing you a "free" service.
Isn't it free? You're asking a lot for something that is "free".
