The author used to run a public Arch mirror under mirror.ext4.xyz, so it's not exactly an unknown domain. Combined with the fact that a lot of their self-hosted stuff, including the Reddit front-ends, are in the Certificate Transparenc

2.5 Pro gets it right for me. This is a bit of a trick on a classic riddle! The surgeon is the boy's **father**. The classic version of this riddle has the surgeon say "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!

That's not true. AppImages aren't sandboxed and they can access the rest of the system just fine. After all, they're just a regular SquashFS directory that get mounted into a /tmp mount and then executed from there.

Since installing entirely new software is just downloading Cursor.AppImage from the official website and double-clicking on it, it's not a large hassle for most users. If you're on Arch, there's even an AUR package, so it&#x2

Feels like `clickhouse local` or `duckdb` with a price tag. Especially since duckdb even has a nice UI now.

There's also "checkpoint" [1] which works without Javascript. As far as I can tell they cover the same use case with a very similar user experience. [1]: https://github.com/vaxerski/checkpoint

If I update my packages and suddenly an open-source software is replaced with a closed-source one, I would blame my distro. It's totally normal for distros to replace packages like this with the best replacement they have.
