While a well written article, and certainly intellectually interesting, I'm not sure I'd be excited to run across this level of indirection in a codebase if I were debugging an issue.

I don't think "they did it first", or "two wrongs cancel out", necessarily applies to war crimes.

It's yet another oligarchy centralization play. I assume more to come.

Which installs via a random 3rd party tap, which honestly isn't much better than yolo curl|bash.

Why is this even an app? It looks like it just generates a mobileconfig profile on the fly. Instead, seems like they could be offering a download of a pre-generated mobileconfig, which seems like it would be much safer than installing some app via curl|bash .... but then I guess there wouldn't be a chance to have an "app", get github stars, and do whatever else.

I recall excel being decent once upon a time, back in the early 2000's, before the ribbon interface was added.

I'm baffled why so many of these KVM devices don't support PoE.

Nice. That's right up there with "pretty sure a macbook pro could fit into most cargo pants pockets".

Give me a single-screen phone the size of this thing closed, and use the extra space inside for more battery and not more displays.

Aside: I'd also love it if it could be plugged into an external display and have a "desktop mode" (like a macos VM) that gets suspended/resumed on connect/disconnect instead of just expanding the "mobile mode" across the new screen. I realize this is probably a dream too far for most companies though, as it doesn't allow them to segment the market as much as requiring people to buy multiple devices.

Especially rich coming from X Corp, with their xAI-Bot web scrapers.

I also used to use direnv (and likewise eschewed .env), but more recently I moved env definitions to mise. Been working out nicely.
