Given it's built by Matz, how realistic is it that this becomes a core part of Ruby? And if so, how threatening is that for Crystal?

I see yabai mentioned, definitely check out Aerospace. Ive tried multiple WMs after years of i3 on Linux and this is the best one I found (for me) with quite a margin. It just works (tm)

Which will be released in full first, the X-files or the Epstein files?

New comment by xz18r in "LinkedIn checks for 2953 browser extensions"

xz18r — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 22:33:06 +0000

I wrote some automation scripts that are not triggered via browser extensions (e.g., open all my sales colleagues’ profiles and like their 4 most recent unliked posts to boost their SSI[1], which is probably the most ‘innocent’ of my use-cases). It has random sleep intervals. I’ve done this for years and never faced a ban hammer.

Wonder if with things like Moltbot taking the scene, a form of “undetectable LinkedIn automation” will start to manifest. At some point they won’t be able to distinguish between a chronically online seller adding 100 people per day with personalized messages, or an AI doing it with the same mannerisms.

I've been using Aerospace for the past couple of days, and I love it. This will be neat to have if you have a couple of dozen workspaces open at all times (which I don't, but appreciate it nonetheless).

I had a few updates failing because parts of it are hosted on Codeberg. If anything, this shows that people are moving there.

I use git (with Working Copy) for sync for this exact use-case.

Sorry that one’s on me for not being clear. I actually meant the tty module in Doom Emacs. You can find the packages here: https://docs.doomemacs.org/v21.12/modules/os/tty/

I am not sure i understand your problem 100% but Emacs’ tty package can solve a lot of cursor issues in a terminal emulator.

>I find it a buggy mess where everything works only 80%

I don't want to be mean but calling Emacs a buggy mess sounds like a skill issue.

This is pretty cool! Is it still in active development?

New comment by xz18r in "I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file"

xz18r — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 14:34:45 +0000

There is a format called todo.txt that works follows very readable syntax (like your own example) and has some minimal bells and whistles if you want it to: http://todotxt.org/

As an alternative: I started using org-mode 5 years ago and have never looked back. This is my workflow (https://karelvo.com/blog/orgmode) although I sync it via Git now, and have an iPhone where I use Plain Org (https://xenodium.com/plain-org-for-ios).
