Through many phases of using tmux, from bare bone to rocking 200-line config not counting 40 packages installed by a package manager, then back to 20 lines .tmux.conf, I'm tired. Tmux is great. Outside of control codes, I don't have any problems since tmux makes it easy to fix them. Except that I'm stuck with it while I watch a super star programmer dude switch to his 4th Konsole window to create his 21st tab and wonder how can I shave off this dependency.

It crashed my Fedora 43 installation (maxed out CPU and RAM) right after installing from .rpm. After reboot it can't even load plasmashell. I'm typing this after booting into a Fedora 42 backup. 42!

Was it MSI Dragon Center? Few years ago I reinstalled the OS and had to scour the earth for the app for that specific model so it can turn off the keyboard backlight and remap some buttons. Now the screen broke and it's running as a Linux server, and guess whose backlight is turn on all day, everyday?

I'm sure many Japanese watching the Pearl Harbor movie didn't want the American pilots to survive after nuking 2 cities either.

Poe's Law is in effect when the thread is a hair away from getting political. I thought it was obvious that the commenter is joking based on the oblivious tone, and because this is HN.

Is this what the kids call "being performative" looks like? If you do this in my party, then please shut the door on the way out.
