iTerm on linux would be the dream! I wanted to switch to ghostty for the performance and sane defaults, but it’s just not feature complete with iTerm yet

That’s a neat trick! Didn’t know setting env vars was possible in ssh configs

foobar's rock solid. I have a portable copy on a mounted NAS share and it's great for transcoding and being an ad hoc music player while setting up new computers

Well said! LLMs are excellent at translating my intent to what the domain's norms and definitions are.

The problem with google'ing 2 years ago was a combination of SEO hijacking and sheer ignorance on the user's end.

Critical thinking is a necessary ingredient regardless of the tools being used

I’m still not over Google Inbox being shuttered.

Between the pinned emails, helpful rendering of calendar events like trips/hotel bookings, and sane defaults for swipe actions, it worked really well out of the box.

Strangely enough I’ve settled for MS Outlook on iOS. It has a facsimile of Inbox's features and works well enough with gmail and outlook.

Just not as good of ux and the pinned emails don’t work on mobile (desktop only).

Would love for a new Thunderbird iOS app to get away from MS but have never been enthusiastic about the desktop client

I’ve seen this too. Finder is useless when copying a large amount of files -- especially small ones.

Used to work at the Apple store and it was incredible how a handful of customers dropped thousands of files onto the desktop which in turn brought Finder to its knees.

Probably generating thumbnails or indexing is my unscientific guess

Lol

What do you like about mailmate? Went to their website and it’s pretty spartan. No idea what makes it worth an annual subscription

re: ms office, you should take a look at visigrid for the excel bits.

It's also rust based and very polished with a cli tool for automation. Can't speak to feature parity as I'm not an accountant or someone who traffics in spreadsheets but it suits my needs to the point I don't reach for a company subscription.

That's the bar for an AI generated app that I'd like to see your Adobe CC/CS apps hit.

I'll keep an eye on your repos!

Based take

How does the 80/20 rule apply to sota models?

Been seeing this term bandied about seemingly overnight -- it’s giving me baader-meinhof vibes

A priori sounds like delta by the same team as zed. Taking a look now

Normal for r/localllama or r/localllm maybe

That was a good read! Bit of a diatribe and don't wholly agree, but I can empathize with the author

Came to linux much later but absolutely agree.

While being able to customize everything is nice, I prefer a curated experience that nails the defaults so I don't have to tweak it.

macos used to be that way from leopard to mountain lion IME. Now I'm considering switching back to a linux workstation bc I can't stand liquid glass and the devolution of a desktop OS becoming a mobile OS
