Yep, I don't think I could go back to a terminal without an equivalent of Copy Mode and Quick Select. If it had those, Ghostty would be interesting so sure.

VC funded companies (almost[0]) never repay it. They only try to create enough value that the VC can one day sell their stake for more than they paid for it. The key is convincing the VC not that that is particularly likely, but that if it

It's not necessarily unethical to break the law, merely illegal. Civil disobedience is a pretty important part of how we have always dealt with bad laws and bad governments.

Fair point, and you are right that in theory this pretty much fully preserves privacy. On the other hand, I am old enough and grumpy enough to still believe the correct number of connections an OS should make to the internet that aren'

For a while I stuck NFC tags on the MagSafe charger/stands in various places (at my desk, by my bed, etc.) to swifch profiles (which can be done just using shortcuts, as others have mentioned). It worked pretty nicely but in the end I

The Onyx Boox readers have a feature called BooxDrop which runs a web server on the device when you enable it that provides file management and upload. It simple, wireless, and works great. The readers work perfectly fine without an account

I have never missed an app or service like I miss FATMAP. I still search in vain for a half decent replacement every time I go into the mountains and nothing yet comes close. I’d have paid quite a lot more than they were charging to keep it
