The problem is this doesn't do much without buy-in across a wild array of software that isn't developed in lockstep, and that simply isn't going to happen, so text pipes win because they're here and they're ubiquitous and they're useful enough despite the flaws you point out.

I appreciate you letting us know.

I don't think anyone is trying to convince you you should use Ghostty over iTerm2. It's a technically excellent terminal built with an incredibly rigorous and well thought out guiding philosophy and a remarkable amount of passion. Nobody cares if you want to run it or not.

Law and Order lied in many ways, but calling out evidence for being circumstantial isn’t one of them. “Circumstantial” doesn’t mean it doesn’t count, but it does discount its evidentiary strength.

The real galling thing that my newest samsung tv started doing on the last update is that it doesn't even start out on the "Media" tab of the home screen. The number one thing I want to do with my TV is now an afterthought. It's left-down-down, click before I even get to do TV stuff with my TV (and of course, after that, I have to wade through the samsung shovelware in order to get to the 2 streaming things I actually use). I saw an "alternate home screen for your samsung tv" project on here a couple days ago and I'm definitely going to check it out when I have an afternoon to curse at samsung.

The part that is really interesting to me is that they seem to be desperately trying to get me comfortable with some kind of "It's not TV, it's Samsung TV" attitude, when what they're actually accomplishing is convincing me that TV just sucks now and it makes me loathe Samsung. It's as if they hired a guy to sit next to me on the couch and every once in a while, he pokes me with a sharp stick and yells "SAMSUNG!"

This alone just got it a place on my iOS Home Screen. I’ve always wondered why Apple never provided a simple full screen analog clock with second hand.

$100 per year for the privilege of being allowed to run my own code is absurd.

I’m with you, except that in this situation I resentfully forego the feature because I refuse to install apps.

You live in a country that requires a smartphone to open a bank account?

Literally have never had a banking app on any phone. I must not be banking.

I am baffled by all these people giving muse their personal info. I tried muse out. Didn’t install anything locally and didn’t give it any personal info beyond a fresh meta identity. I just poked at the free vm for a while. There’s no way in hell I’m giving it access to anything sensitive.

This is unrealistic. Hardly anyone who is going to feed their own messages to an AI is going to pay attention to whether it’s local or cloud based. Get real.

No, I’m saying when you send messages to someone else, they are out of your control. Trying to fight that with DRM would be folly.

That’s an absurd statement. I’m an upstanding citizen who’s never been arrested and I’ve gotten extremely nervous every time I have ever been pulled over.

Except now there’s not. The fact is, when you tell somebody something, what they choose to do with it is out of your hands. Unless you want to start using drm-encumbered systems.
