A fun consequence of this is that running a python script that doesn't have the shebang will mysteriously hang with a crosshair cursor until you click the mouse. When the shell encounters the first "import foo" line it tries

For email I disagree. notmuch and mu4e are very good and being able to apply your normal text editing tools in a text oriented context like email is very useful. If there are better tools out there I haven't found them yet.

If you check CCC that particular sku has jumped directly from $3-$4 to $9 a while back so it might be have gone out of production. A quick Amazon search shows 300 for $2.29 or 1000 for $8.77. (Compared to the 500 for $3-ish of the original)

Despite the name this doesn't actually support proper nested threading in the way we think of it here or on Reddit, does it?

I just checked again and it looks like they have added granular seek buttons for audio-only so it's serviceable now.

Don't think that X11 is a great example since it has great backwards compatibility. Just about all userspace components are worse.

Unfortunately there is no other way to signal trash submissions. "Not upvoting" is not really a sufficient signal when enough people get baited by the headline.

I just tried to install it and yes, it looks like mmdc still requires puppeteer and chromium. Which seems a bit ridiculous for a CLI tool.
