Re:You might not need tmux on Saturday August 02, 2025 @05:18AM (#44765973)
I read the whole thing, but I have a rule: I stop reading any review that includes “huge fan of <any_software>.” Like many things in life, getting too emotional isn’t usually helpful. :)

I really do appreciate that younger generations are eager to write new software and push things forward — but reinventing lukewarm water isn’t the way to go. And yet, here we are, deep into the era of exactly that.

That said, it seems like Kitty and tmux are actually quite different tools after all.

Re:Keyboard with Trackpad for iPad Pro on Friday January 03, 2020 @03:08AM (#21944131)
Yes. Works well in the browser, and in my case, that covers a lot of time in google docs. I believe that is the case for a lot of people. For a lot of actual mobile/tablet app, it is kind unintuitive.
