Ghostty is amazing. The attention to detail means that the basics work right, which I couldn't say about any other "modern" terminal apps. I still wish for xterm-like text selection, but otherwise this is the best terminal ou

The author also assumes that users are rational, make no mistakes, and there exists a logical non-conflicting ordering of their updates that makes sense. This is naive, speaking from a perspective of someone who has spent the last 10 years

Are you using high-power wireless charging? Does your phone heat up significantly? As a counterpoint, I've been using low-power wireless charging (5W adapters) with my phones for the last several years (three phones at least). The batt

I'm pretty sure they know that. Especially as Starlink is brittle mostly because of its (rather disgusting at this point) founder figure and his ramblings. But this is armchair advice: what other options do they have and how do you fun

This is so incredibly important! I am very happy to see this, the fact that you could not do a backup on iOS and you would lose everything in case your device dies is the biggest drawback of Signal. I still do not quite understand why I can
