if you have a point, make it. nihilism is cheap.

again, my point here is that cegłowski is an unreliable narrator; you should not build an opinion based on his anecdotes (or his transphobia).
he's also a self-important arse, which is kinda problematic when one tries to do organising. (one of the very important part is that doing the union work is not a social club, and you may need to work with and accommodate people whom you personally very much dislike.)
maciej cegłowski is also a self-serving arse, so i'd take anything he says with a large grain of salt.
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 remain very happy seeing that they won't be able to leave the subculture of weird nazi functional language nerds with no social acumen.
what i actually want to see in space are billionaires doing extended evas. not necessarily suited up, too.
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.
terrible state of house CO detectors is not an excuse for putting a CO generator in the living room.
