Or improves. With third-party fine-tuning.

Have you considered fine-tuning on your dataset?

Same boat here, though I also get to enjoy some of the benefits of libghostty, via ghostel in Emacs. Ghostel is noticeably faster when there's a lot of output being dumped, but I don't often need the speed and use it only because it's integrated rather well into the rest of my Emacs.

If you can stomach Emacs, there are at least two packages that implement this, one via eat and another via vterm, though none via ghostel just yet. Shouldn't be difficult to port, though.

Sure, Ferrari might refuse to sell me a second car, but I wasn't going to buy a first one either. OTOH, if a ruler company refuses to sell me rulers ... I'll just get one from another company. Like how I use local LLMs today.

I'm not going to fall for this bait or follow this asinine line of argumentation. Perhaps you should reconsider how your reactions are, to quote you, "a sign of poor impulse control. It reflects poorly on you and you should practice not snapping".

There were five nuclear states grandfathered in when the NPT was signed. Since then, five other countries have developed nuclear weapons.

Apart from South Africa (which gave up its nukes voluntarily), the other contenders were basically only held back due to military intervention (Iraq, Libya, Syria) or economic sanctions (Iran).

You're absolutely right. Except for the part about the ruler-making company banning me from buying their rulers because I somehow hurt the wittle rulers' feelings by snapping it. It's a tool; it doesn't have feelings.

Firefox has always required user action for fullscreen (for good measure). Use windowed mode and F11.

Since F-Droid (i.e., the repositories, not the app) builds all apps, a practical solution would be for the repositories (i.e., their signing keys) to be recognized by El Goog. Whether and how much help / obstacle the "maybe we do evil" company puts up for / against this is a different question.

Incus (spiritual successor to LXD, after the fork-off by Canonical) has a simple S3 server built-in.

Ah, Ubuntu _Server_. I'm tempted to dismiss this by simply saying "Server Linux != Desktop Linux", but yeah, I don't like that this is on by default either.

I mean, this is a setup that ships with a default password that's the same as the username, and the first thing I do on all my server installs is disable all default user accounts and enable passwordless sudo.

From reading other docs of Ubuntu Server, it appears they relax the root/non-root distinction in other ways too. But I'd probably never have suspected this particular vector of vulnerability.
