@monorail we've put active work into counteracting this response in ourselves. it's much healthier

LB: this doesn't mean you shouldn't try to build better social media under capitalism — you still need to be able to organize in the meantime

if you want better social media you must begin by building communism

by which I mean: it's not enough to make [xyz corpo platform but it's foss]; capitalism must be destroyed utterly at the root -- then "good" social media might begin to become a possibility

is your home directory encrypted (including via full disk encryption) on your primary laptop or desktop?

Released a new version of om, my command line tool for quickly (un)mounting and safely detaching disks.

There's just one visible change: the new -k / --keep option. Occasionally I want to unmount all filesystems on a disk / thumb drive (also lock encrypted volumes), but not actually physically detach the disk yet. With --keep, om will skip powering off the disk after performing all other steps.

Note to #Nix / #NixOs users: I've created a separate release branch that will only be updated when a new release is published. You can point your flake input at ?ref=release and will always get a "stable" release as opposed to the current development version on the default main branch. I have updated the examples in readme accordingly.

Enjoy 😃

Now this is an information graphic!

(by Peter Arkle https://peterarkle.com/)

Ghostty's sprite renderer got a major refactor by our font maintainer (Qwerasd). We now support more sprites and they line up perfectly on cell edges. Additionally, our sprites now pack more efficiently on the GPU to save some VRAM. Comparison between terminals as an example.

Ghostty's always had a built-in sprite renderer (actually, rasterizer). The job of the rasterizer is to generate pixel-perfect sprites dynamically for a given grid size.

Practically, this results in much more aesthetically pleasing shell prompts, powerline bars, etc. And things like circles that line up perfectly make for better TUIs.

Some additional amazing background: the rasterizer uses a 2D graphics library written in Zig specifically for Ghostty by a community member (but generalized: https://github.com/vancluever/z2d). And while I wrote the initial rasterizer, the major work since has been by our font subsystem maintainer Qwerasd who has taken it to new, incredible levels. ❤️

@mdwyer @lethalbit no this is how you get Nix

A lot of software engineering is really about developing the process for how the software is made, maintained, and operated

Can I ask you all to stop for a moment and reflect on this warning message: "theorem Nat.add_right_eq_self is deprecated"?

Like, truly think of the epistemological implications of deprecating mathematical truths.

Make yourself immune to future security breaches by simply giving up having any personal information. I personally have not generated any data since 2016.
