Which installs via a random 3rd party tap, which honestly isn't much better than yolo curl|bash.

Why is this even an app? It looks like it just generates a mobileconfig profile on the fly. Instead, seems like they could be offering a download of a pre-generated mobileconfig, which seems like it would be much safer than installing some app via curl|bash .... but then I guess there wouldn't be a chance to have an "app", get github stars, and do whatever else.

In a time of declining globalism and growing[1] nationalism[2] and anti-immigration sentiment around the world, I think it is unsurprising that a historically[3] xenophobic culture would move in this direction.

I recall excel being decent once upon a time, back in the early 2000's, before the ribbon interface was added.

I'm baffled why so many of these KVM devices don't support PoE.

Nice. That's right up there with "pretty sure a macbook pro could fit into most cargo pants pockets".

Give me a single-screen phone the size of this thing closed, and use the extra space inside for more battery and not more displays.

Aside: I'd also love it if it could be plugged into an external display and have a "desktop mode" (like a macos VM) that gets suspended/resumed on connect/disconnect instead of just expanding the "mobile mode" across the new screen. I realize this is probably a dream too far for most companies though, as it doesn't allow them to segment the market as much as requiring people to buy multiple devices.

Especially rich coming from X Corp, with their xAI-Bot web scrapers.

I also used to use direnv (and likewise eschewed .env), but more recently I moved env definitions to mise. Been working out nicely.

As a kid in the 80s/90s who spent a non-zero amount of time in a mall, I just wanted to highlight how great this name is.

Wow. Someone could be "chief ethicist at Meta" under Zuckerberg for 6 years, but couldn't make it even a single year under Altman.

That's an interesting data point.

With “Chevron Deference” struck down, I assume this means the courts will get to decide if it is in fact gambling or not?

This combination of "no true scotsman" and "you're holding it wrong" is quite amazing to behold.

If AI is as good as it being marketed as, you shouldn't even be able to hold it wrong!

Plumbers? With so much bullshit in the world these days, I assume plumbers will remain important. ;)

I think trust in general has eroded.

Rampant _overt_ corruption at the highest levels of western governments, wars, enshittification[0], decay[1], crumbling infrastructure, constant political gridlock.. It seems like it is everywhere, and people are exhausted.

stock_toaster — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 18:20:41 +0000

(tongue in cheek) It seems recent history has shown that zig can get you to working software faster, then you can port it to rust once you are acquired or find market fit?

Maybe at some point in the future zig could add a rust compilation target ( like with `-ofmt=c` )...
