TUIs are fantastic. The mere fact that they're lightweight and keyboard oriented is alone to want more of them.

I'm on Ubuntu 26.04 and I feel it's made substantial improvements in that regard compared to 24.04. It does kill the offending process (well, its best guess at it) before it freezes for good.

since you seem to know better, id like to know on which dimensions you think canada is doing any better than usa in the past 10-15 years as whole, or even versus other g7.

general employment? youth employment? labor participation? happiness index? gdp per capita? patents per capita? skilled migration? housing affordability? general inflation? stock market performance? real wages? housing burden? life satisfaction? growth of small business? startup echo system?

somehow it seems like you're implying that canada is doing better than the usa. just look at the last 10 years of real gdp growth and it couldn't be any worse for canada.

I cannot think of too many things worse than being forced into a 'company retreat' where you have to spend even more time with people that you already see most in your life.

The only way is to make sure your AI cannot possibly read what it's not supposed to. For CC, I have a bubblewrap that has been effective:
