(Although, like several other commenters, I do recommend OKLab.)

The problem is that I actually like changing my theme every now and then. And I use a different theme for my terminal app and e.g. VSCode. A single prompt config couldn't fit into everything.

So I built the same prompt from scratch with Swift, and made it automatically adapt to the terminal colors, with proper Lab color interpolation. I used that until a couple of weeks ago, when I wanted pick up Rust. I was quite happy with the hacked-together prompt I had been using for a year, and thought that rewriting it might be a suitable project.

I decided to turn this Rust version into an open source project, as I might not be the only one who'd enjoy a fancy powerline prompt without a screaming color palette.

Maintaining an exact copy of RNA/DNA through generations and generations is a real challenge, right? Loosening up the copying mechanisms to allow for more mistakes would probably be quite easy to achieve, if that was beneficial, right?

I’d be interested to hear what makes the idea wrong.

It covers all my basic living costs. But I kind of got bored (again) of being happily unemployed (for the second time), and started a small consulting business on the side. A four-day workweek in addition to the Radio Silence stuff keeps me quite content.

If you have a story about this, could you post it as a separate link and see how it does on its own? Trying to hijack other threads with politically loaded stuff usually goes sour here.

As a standalone syntax choice, it makes little sense. But for a RoR developer, it’s obvious.

This might just be a misconception I have, but I always thought you couldn't make a batteries-included, self-contained, works-out-of-the-box app if you used GPGME. You'd first have to tell the user to go get a GnuPG implementation from somewhere.

I'd be super happy to be wrong on this.

I had just bought my first Mac, and was really impressed with how easy everything was. It really was a joy to use. Little Snitch instantly turned it into an obnoxious, interrupting mess where almost every app was broken by default.

I'm sure Little Snitch is the right app for many people, but not for me. I basically learned Objective-C just to build an alternative for myself. That turned into Radio Silence.

However, I just joined an AI startup two months ago, not out of necessity, but because I found their idea super interesting and had the chance. (Also, the marginal value for a day off wasn't that high anymore.)

I was really afraid that Apple’s new policy on making kernel extensions harder to install would cut into the profits, but sales have actually gone up since. Perhaps other firewalls are even harder to get up and running.
