<p>> Konsole is way faster than any of those on my computer and it has all the usual suspects I'd expect from a modern terminal emulator.<p>Same boat here, though I also get to enjoy some of the benefits of libghostty, via ghostel in Emacs. Ghostel is noticeably faster when there's a lot of output being dumped, but I don't often need the speed and use it only because it's integrated rather well into the rest of my Emacs.<p>> tmux -CC integration<p>If you can stomach Emacs, there are at least two packages that implement this, one via eat and another via vterm, though none via ghostel just yet. Shouldn't be difficult to port, though.</p>

<p>> There are lots of companies that will ban you from buying their products for mistreating them.<p>Sure, Ferrari might refuse to sell me a second car, but I wasn't going to buy a first one either. OTOH, if a ruler company refuses to sell me rulers ... I'll just get one from another company. Like how I use local LLMs today.<p>> ... I am just honored to be in the presence of a soon-to-be Nobel prize winner. When are you going to publish your findings ...<p>I'm not going to fall for this bait or follow this asinine line of argumentation. Perhaps you should reconsider how your reactions are, to quote you, "a sign of poor impulse control. It reflects poorly on you and you should practice not snapping".</p>

<p>There were five nuclear states grandfathered in when the NPT was signed. Since then, five other countries have developed nuclear weapons.<p>Apart from South Africa (which gave up its nukes voluntarily), the other contenders were basically only held back due to military intervention (Iraq, Libya, Syria) or economic sanctions (Iran).</p>

<p>You're absolutely right. Except for the part about the ruler-making company banning me from buying their rulers because I somehow hurt the wittle rulers' feelings by snapping it. It's a tool; it doesn't have feelings.</p>

<p>Since F-Droid (i.e., the repositories, not the app) builds all apps, a practical solution would be for the repositories (i.e., their signing keys) to be recognized by El Goog.

<p>Ah, Ubuntu _Server_. I'm tempted to dismiss this by simply saying "Server Linux != Desktop Linux", but yeah, I don't like that this is on by default either.<p>I mean, this is a setup that ships with a default password that's the same as the username, and the first thing I do on all my server installs is disable all default user accounts and enable passwordless sudo.<p>From reading other docs of Ubuntu Server, it appears they relax the root/non-root distinction in other ways too. But I'd probably never have suspected this particular vector of vulnerability.</p>

<p>> Ubuntu has the exact same vulnerability out of the box, just with lxd instead.<p>No, it does not[1]. LXD:<p>- explicitly warns against this mode of vulnerability. Of course, there's no protection against people who blindly run commands copied from the internets, but the official documentation, at least, for as far back as I can recall, has had clear warning boxes against this, with explanations.<p>- does not have the track record of bad design that docker has had (IMO).<p>- supports fine-grained ACLs and user management.<p>----<p>[1]: <a href="https://ubuntu.com/blog/shared-development-environment-with-lxd" rel="nofollow">https://ubuntu.com/blog/shared-development-environment-with-...</a></p>

After browsing through every image I could find in the history of this project, I, at least, am convinced: any "sexualization" _you_ see is entirely in your head.<p>> ... in judeo christian societies<p>I really hope you're not trying to whitewash your own bias by alluding to those religions. From everything I've read of their texts, and interacted with practioners of those religions, I'm unaware of any bias that classifies _cartoon depictions of children_ as "sexual".<p>Perhaps you should try whitelabeling instead.
