Tested the edit feature on PDF and

* it doesn't seem to select/edit existing components

* Delete button doesn't work on a drawing

* Insert text button doesn't work

On Google Chrome. Am I the only one who tried this out?

I uninstalled google launcher and shitty Xiaomi apps in my Mi TV stick using ADB and switched to F-Launcher. Can't be happier with the performance.

Google Antigravity is pretty much close to Claude Code imo

Switched to this and never been so satisfied. Hard to get old and not streamed shows though. And stremio has plugins that support some streaming sites as well.

Steam deck is currently my primary computer. You just try to not use sudo at all. So I use nix to install all my software. From firefox to htop. It can get annoying because one of my scripts was trying to detect Mesa the other day and didn't work with nix installed mesa, otherwise it's perfect.

I gave up after reading 20% . Felt like it wasn't getting anywhere. Then I read the summary. Didn't get the point of it either. Maybe it's just me

>start meeting people in real life.

Depends on the country and person I guess. When I did try approaching women a few times, it was 10% angry looks, 30% awkward, 30% basic polite conversation to fulfill social obligation, and 30% friendly conversation. Unfortunately I'm not keen enough to pursue that 30% of friendly conversations by wading through the rest.

The posted link says: >The new interactive shell is enabled by default in Gemini CLI as of v0.9.0.

but https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/shell/#enabling-interactive... > To enable interactive commands, you need to set the tools.shell.enableInteractiveShell setting to true.

Seems contradictory. I can't get it to work in either case .

If you're looking in the commit tree for which commit fixed a certain bug, but didn't fix it fully , for example , you first look at all the `fix:` and then if it matches, you read the rest. You just write `fix: Thumbnail wasn't updating after upload` to `Fix for Thumbnail not updating after upload`, which isn't really wasting characters.

But I'm also not a fan of this being an enforced convention because somebody higher up decided he/she it brings some value and now it's the 101st convention a new dev has to follow which actually reduces productivity.

LLM wrote this article it seems.

For me Gemini CLI is not as good as Claude Code and sometimes writes more code than necessary and makes it hard to maintain. but hope it gets there with gemini 3.0 release. It's open source so I can imagine it getting there faster with community contributions.
