I noticed yesterday an onslaught of AI posts to Reddit (weather, whatbirdisit, Michigan, Minnesota). I would have to ask my wife to look at these posts to ensure I wasn't having a stroke or something because they looked like real images or writing, but they wouldn't make any sense as a whole.

Can you configure tmux to use "normal" modifier keys? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I too have found searching for tmux information online to be difficult. This recent change to my dotfiles I could never really figure out because it wasn't really documented anywhere except a reddit post and a PR. https://github.com/dannyfritz/dotfiles/commit/c7c9272dfdf46e4526264ffdf3d4b64b4a629a2f

are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] technocat@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

I use both while Lemmy's community is smaller. I yearn for a world with more small owners of the internet.

Samsung dishwasher lit on fire.

Samsung microwave would turn on when I used the stove beneath it.

Vertical text such as Japanese.

Looking over the proposed changes on Wikipedia now and they seem otherwise pretty niche. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_16

Well, at least the Skype ringtone will live on forever in my head with Leeroy Jenkins.

Wall oven selection in c/homeimprovement@lemmy.world

[–] technocat@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, mine was a faston type terminal that was pretty simple to insert. Then 2 screws to hold it in place. Mine was 18.5" x 19.5" and the socket was low down with the heating element.

I have a 1955 GE wall oven in my home I use. My oven's heating element was pretty trivial to replace and was about 20$ on Amazon. I also have a mechanical timer and the oven is bright pink.

What people did Zionism ruin for you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Had some really good friends that were adamant that the war on Gaza was a justified war. They were good examples of Progressive Except Palestine (PEP). It became pretty hard to continue the friendship knowing they were okay with killing people as long as it was brown people.

Ghostty: Reflecting on Reaching 1.0 (mitchellh.com)

Ghostty 1.0 is out.

If you told me two years ago that I would be releasing a terminal emulator, I wouldn't have believed you. I've always been a fan of the terminal, my entire career was built around shipping terminal-first software. But they're a solved problem, right? That's what I thought.

I started the project in 2022 merely as a way to play with Zig, do some graphics programming, and deepen my understanding of terminals. I never intended to release it. I didn't think there was innovation to be had. I thought I would learn a lot over a few months and move on.

But as I worked on it, I looked at other terminals differently. I saw tradeoffs that I didn't like. I saw features that I wanted. I saw performance that I could improve. I saw stagnation. There are many fantastic terminals out there and you should use them if they work for you. But I wanted something different and thought maybe others did too.

And so Ghostty was born. It's not perfect, it's not done, it's not for everyone. But it's mine. It's a reflection of my values and my vision for what a terminal could be.

Ghostty to get public release in December (mitchellh.com)

After nearly two years of development and private beta testing1, I’m excited to share that Ghostty 1.0 will be publicly released in December 2024 as an open-source project under the MIT license.

In this blog post, I want to restate the broader goals of the Ghostty project and outline the specific goals for the 1.0 release. I have ambitious plans for Ghostty, but I also want to set clear expectations for what to expect on day one versus what will come in the future.

In short, Ghostty 1.0 aims to be the best drop-in replacement for your current terminal emulator on macOS and Linux. Ghostty will be fast, feature-rich, and have a platform-native GUI while being the most standards-compliant terminal emulator available.
