> You built your models on the world's data

most important bit…: stealing world's data…

It's mostly to the device security... you can have encrypted storage on laptop just fine... making Signal/mobile like some holly grail is weird.

Besides - it's way more probable to lose train than a computer (even my laptop almost never leaves the house)

YMMV and it's always down to threat model... absurd ammount of information is sent via plain text email

in case of XMPP you have OMEMO which is multi device and works fine-ish (nowadays) though I would still prefer simpler OX (PGP; pefrect-forward-secrecy is an overkill IMHO for majority of people)

TBH this was my reason not to use Signal at all... same with WhatsApp super annoying linking between mobile and desktop :/

Why can't we use XMPP where you can have multiple device and accounts without required mobile phone? Oh I know - because dumb walled gardens and BigTech not liking it... it's a mirracle we got away with e-mail before they came to power :/

> I find iTerm2's constant prompts to update to be annoying.

Uhm... what prompts? ;) I do have auto-update and it does it in the background -- I haven't seen any prompt in ages.

Alternatively you can use brew/Latest.app to handle updates when it's convenient for you?

OK, that may be true (and yes, iTerm still uses weird plist xD) but... On the day to day basis I don't care about config file. I mostly use one OS, I don't do reinstalls (had MBP from 2013, then after switching to MBP M1 moved the files and configs _once_) so having nice and readable config doesn't matter at all.

Having to search for some obscure configuration names and options is simply getting in the way.

For that reason I stayed away from Zed for ages - it is a fine editor but tweaking it options without even rudementary settings GUI was just super-meh.

I do hope that Ghostty will go the same route and they will add something that would help manage the simple config options (backed by the config file) without having to deal with purely-textual form)

> I don't think anyone is trying to convince you you should use Ghostty over iTerm2.

Maybe I framed it wrongly. Though general vibe in every Ghostty posting is "why are you still not using it?!" which is weird…

> It's a technically excellent terminal built with an incredibly rigorous and well thought out guiding philosophy and a remarkable amount of passion.

I get that but... while it may be excellent on technical level at the end of the day it's a tool and if it's lacking (and for me it is) then it doesn't matter how excellent it is?

I usually use macOS + Fedora KDE and Konsole is more than enough for me :)

> performance reasons (I'm usually running up to ~100 terminal panes, split across 4-5 windows and up to 9 tabs per window)

Yeah... I could maybe see that but for me at best I have a dozens of terminal panes and I haven't seen any slowdown in my usecase :)

Why should I use Ghostty over iTerm2? I don't care about fancy fonts, iTerm2 speed (for me) is plenty (just tested against 1.4 -- don't see noticeable difference on MBP M1) and I do like to tweak some options/settings (and was just mildly annoyed when hitting `cmd+,` opened my default text editor...

Extortionist mafia is getting more extorionist...

EU should just blok meta(fb/inst)/x|twatter/tiktok and rest of usanian BigTech at this point…

Actually banning facebook/instagram/twitter|x/tiktok would make so much more sense.

On the one hand - financial loses, on the other - more social sanity in the EU…

Awww... more threats from Usania. This will definitely help... the EU move to more independence. More and more governments are dropping US made stuff as much as possible and pushing for local alternatives... way to go!

Uhm... feels a bit like closing down?

Seems to be down...

What does it use? masto or hand-crafted stuff?
