I'm also speculating that they'll kindly donate at least 1 T of that to me out of the kindness of their heart.

That's what reputations are for.

The employee seems to have a better grasp of their demographic than the CEO. Hope he enjoys losing a good employee and their revenue continuing to fall through the floor. I'm not the only paying customer leaving ASAP.

I really like the idea of using Fastmail over Tuta since they support normal protocols and thus third party clients. My main concern is that if they're able to serve those protocols, they have to be able to access my emails in plaintext in some form or fashion, which also means if their systems do (and most likely inevitably will these days) get hacked at some point, all my emails are now exposed and leaked.

Same here. Been a paying customer for probably about 3 years now. Off to either Fastmail or Tuta most likely. I'd like to self-host, but corporations have thoroughly ruined what should have been an open and decentralized system.

I was just being sarcastic.

Nope. The solution is to move even faster and thus break less things via AI.

I was using Helm, lsp-mode, yasnippet, and the like for a long time. I switched to Eglot/Corfu/Vertico/Tempel. I much prefer the new wave.

Agreed. I trust it more as a codebase query system rather than a codebase writer.

You just described the mechanism by which they did. Sure, they didn't make it illegal nationwide permanently, because what serious country would do that and hope to maintain control? The real threat is in the vague exceptions for specific cases, which they have now used.

I don't know why I haven't been able to see the similarity between short form content and LLMs in our industry until reading your comment, but that is apt. That's the impression I'm getting. I stay away from "agentic code generation" as much as possible, just like I avoid short form content mills like the plague. That said, LLMs have been a huge boon for me as a research assistant. Being able to look up very niche problems, and have responses be tailored to me, is awesome. My brain stays sharp and I still enjoy the fun of putting the pieces together myself much faster than before.

You can also just add this to your SSH config to get the typical functionality working:

    Host ...
        SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color
