all things aside, is current ghostty any good, or still an ~~audiophile~~ consolephile-ware?

i'm generally reluctant to try something which reeks of intensive self-promotion, but few months ago i decided to finally see what's the hype about, and, well, it's a terminal emulator.

wezterm does much more, and with a much cleaner ui, and it's programmable, and the author doesn't remind me that hashicorp is a thing that exists.

(as the ~fuken-mupet said to me in a conversation about ~absolt-toole's reimplementation of poon in the self-hosted thun, the unlimited poop is an exciting feature of the new pooke64 release.)

i hereby propose a new metric for a popular publication, the epstein number (Ē), denoting the number of authors who took flights to epstein's rape island. generally, credible publications should have Ē=0. this one, after a very quick look, has Ē=2, and also hosts sabine hossenfelder.

github produced their ~~annual insights into the state of open source and public software projects~~ barrel of marketing slop, and it's as self-congratulatory as unreadable and completely opaque.

tl;dr: nsf requested that python software foundation affirms that they “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws”.

the psf has withdrawn the proposal instead.

 

from the “i'll drm your arse” and “industrial sabotage r us” department, a true scandal: a polish train manufacturer used firmware to lock out trains at 3rd party service depots in order to disrupt the operations of the trains for the railways who did not choose to service the trains at the manufacturer's; at the same time they blamed the 3rd parties for their inability to properly service the trains.

further reading in polish (but translates via google well): more technical and less technical, but with more political/economical details.
