What is your city? What anti-car policies were implemented? Did city offer viable altenatives to driving?

Oh My Zsh adds bloat but sets sensible default settings compared to vanilla zsh. I tried using zsh without OMZ and I realized how many things are in OMZ which I took for granted, especially keybindings.

~150ms with minimal setup is good enough for me, although I would prefer <50ms.

I am Kagi subscriber because I think their search is great. I would like them to focus on it.

I don't care about closed-sourced browser nor their AI offering

Very cool. I will try it out as replacement of nix profile.

flox install/show/search in $HOME looks like way better UX
