Bugs are fine, but this wasn't really a bug. It was lack of foresight.

I haven't used Konsole, but I do like this "recent" focus on terminals and have used many of the newer ones. Dailydrived st,alacritty,wezterm,ghostty,kitty,foot (probably forgot some) and I live for the regex pattern matching copy shortcuts etc.

I learned about OSC8 because my terminal (whichever it was) used one of its features and I didn't know it was possible to do that. My immediate thought was, how is the security?

And it is very disappointing to see how little effort people have spent on that. That is really one part that I expect more from modern incarnations of the old terminals where I can sort of forgive them for the lack of security posture.

I like ghostty, I really do. But this is not a good look, and to be clear it isn't just ghostty. Without looking for it I've stumbled upon several OSC8 and OSC52 bugs (in other software) recently.

I'd say that balancing those aspects are exactly what an AI excels at. And an AI can iterate in a way a human wont. Completely redesign something because an edge-case could be slightly better.

AI isn't brute-forcing, or it would have been completely unusable for code.

Sigh, painful AI slop that is wrong on so many things and just an ad for crystl.

Why? Just skip webp altogether, an annoying footnote that caused more issues than it solved.

Go straight to jpeg xl and/or avif when the they are mature.

What innovation are we talking about?

Context: Back then the user experience was terrible, cameras and phones were so slow that scanning even one code was a painful chore.

Would be cool to buzz the message itself in morse code, though todays buzzers are so weak I don't think I'd be able to make it out (if I knew morse code, that is).

But would be cool with a separate buzzer of sorts where you get the normal buzzer notification and then hold a finger somewhere specific and get details that way.

I'd argue project values, license and health are way more important.

Nice find, though I'd rather read the prompt that was used to write this article. It is about ten times longer than it needs to and is quite painful to read.

This one is so much better than the vast majority of sites though?

Clear and to the point. Not even a cookie popup (which ni user respectable site needs, so super low bar to clear).

If you meant the text then I agree.

There are plenty of Ubuntu forks?

There is no reason for anyone on any distro to use snap.

It will die so just leave it alone.

Because for some reason people link to it here.
