Same. Well, not mercurial, but CV in latex. Works great. It really gives a ton of control over typesetting, so it is easy to make sure each page is filled completely.

I have a blue tip ‘57 Superspeed that I pair with Feather blades, but it isn’t even close to my favorite bit of kit. My favorite is the silver-tip badger brush. So nice.

Sort of, but it isn’t in my view very well deserved. There is certainly quite a bit of FUD here in the fediverse, but sometimes it feels manufactured.

The CEO has made, and partially walked back, some statements favoring right wing groups, but it was mostly antitrust stuff, so I think it is mostly rich person doing rich person things.

But they claim to be politically neutral, and they are a Swiss company which already puts it in a tier above anything hosted in many other western countries.

The services themselves are technically very well done, and the applications for using them are also very good. They have a new drive cli which is good. The password manager is great. VPN is good too. The mail bridge they provide is also very good if you want to use third party mail apps but with the benefit of their encryption.

There are other services that compete strongly on each of those and more, but I don’t think any do when considering the full suite.

Fortunately it’s that awe inspiring battery technology where the power can be remotely stored and transmitted over millions of kilometers.

I think Proton is quite good. They lack one feature that I need, which is integrated contacts on mobile, but once they add that, it will be a complete package.

2026 is weird, but the rest of the rawring 20’s are going to be a complete mindfuck.

I used to feel this way and still do to some extent. But he has lost me on the Israel conflict. Certainly on religion itself and philosophy I agree with him a lot. Much like how, conversely, with Mehdi Hassan, I agree a ~~but~~ bit politically, but not on religion.

The only people I can never recall taking issue with are Hitch and Fry, and even they probably have views I don’t like.

I’m really hoping they do the Laconia story now that the requisite years have passed. Or at least enough that the actors will look correct.

Fair, but I was making a general comment with tongue firmly in cheek. I didn’t mean to denigrate anybody. Certainly not any individual. It was broad commentary on the general, though certainly not ubiquitous, view on LLM’s in the larger communities on Lemmy.

Seems pragmatic and well-written. But it doesn’t say “LLM’s are hot garbage in all circumstances and people who use them are all smelly turds,” so I’m guessing there will be backlash in this community.

 

This is superb. Really well done satire.

I hope this isn’t considered political. I figure it is good for this audience.

Following in the footsteps of Hashicorp, Hudson, etc. Zed has chosen to cash in the good will of its now substantial user base and start going to full corporate enshittification. Among other things like minimum age nonsense, they have also added binding mandatory opt-OUT arbitration.

I find such agreements very troubling, because it gives up public funded dispute resolution for private which nearly unanimously benefits larger entities, it lowers transparency to near zero, and eliminates the abilities to act as a class and to appeal. But I worry most will just accept it, as is the norm.

You can however opt out by emailing arbitration-opt-out@zed.dev with full legal name, the email address associated with your account, and a statement that you want to opt out.

I'll just consider my days of advocating for Zed as an interesting new editor over and go back to Neovim bliss.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it celebrates the harvest and can be treated as a day for gratitude. My family also calls it T. Hanks Giving and celebrates by eating pie and watching Tom Hanks movies.

I’m thankful for many things, this year my puppy. He has been great for my family and my mental health personally. For what are you thankful?

Interesting new logic analysis channel on the scene and it seems very well done.

 

I find the hard puzzles take a long time too.

Said of Mozilla’s recent change to terms and privacy.

 

I like smooth scroll. I love Neovim. So I use Neovide. But I really wanted a nice way to manage instances per git repository / project, including server / remote socket management and allowing files to be opened into the correct instance. It detects running instances and opens into or switches to them accordingly.

This is also integrated into Finder and open via a swift wrapper. So one can, for example, use raycast to quick switch projects.

Check it out if that sounds interesting. There is also a longer video guide on the Usage wiki.

 

This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension.

In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. Here it is on Github, also.
