Their support has been very responsive and helpful every time I've contacted them so I'd be surprised if they wouldn't have helped the GP.

It does seem like most people completely ignore the obvious harms caused by AI when talking about using LLMs for programming, as though somehow it is disconnected from the other deployments of the technology.

Despite the fact I have contributed only a small number of PRs and bug reports to Ghostty, and I don't think my absence would be notable to the maintainers, I still feel compelled to boycott the product unless Mitchell clarifies his stance on Vercel's alignment with the Israeli government.

I'd always hoped that Mitchell would be the odd exception to the disagreeable politics of the billionaire class. I'd previously hoped his ongoing association with DHH (and his abhorrent views[1]) was just a result of prior friendship and not an indication that he'd aligned himself with the ruling class. Alas, this is certainly not a good look.

[1]: I was going to link a specific blog post here but upon investigation I was blown away by how awful his entire blog is. The titles of posts are bad but please read past each one to discover a whole new level of awful. https://world.hey.com/dhh

The video ends in a place where I suspect even further advances could still be made.

I don't even disagree with the post, I just don't like seeing shallow dismissals where someone could've actually put effort in to make a point. So I did the same.

In my experience, ergonomics in Zig means something other than ergonomics in many other languages. In plenty of languages, ergonomic code is basically just writing as few characters as possible and being able to achieve complex logic with little boilerplate. In Zig, it feels good to be able to compose the conceptually simple language features into an optimal solution to your problem, even if it results in code that is maybe not aesthetically pleasing on first glance.

I'm not going to declare that this solution is ergonomic or not, you can't always tell just by looking at Zig code whether using it is ergonomic, but by that same logic we shouldn't dismiss it off hand.

And that second link is really grasping at straws lol

I also think the private DMs might be hosted externally to ATProto because that is all meant to be public information or something.

I would assume that the age verification is built at the app layer, so you could use an alternative app (I think they call them AppViews?) to get around the age verification thing. Don't know if alternatives really exist today though, there are probably some.
