itsn0tm3··on Ask HN: Advice on Migrating from 1Password?
I don‘t think that‘s a fair summary. Reading his own words definitely should create doubt in his political standpoints. Additionally after the posts created a fair bit of controversy, he never came out publicly and put his statements in a better light. At least to my knowledge.

itsn0tm3··on Ask HN: Advice on Migrating from 1Password?
He did post at least two blog posts with very questionable political standpoints, while also not displaying a high level of critical thinking, one could say. Not sure where the point of „should be cancelled“ is reached, but doesn’t paint the best picture of him to say the least.

Probably the worst quote:

> When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them. This isn't hard, it isn't cruel. It's the basic logic of self-preservation. [0]

The comparison between shooting wolves here seems definitively bad tase and missing nuance.

itsn0tm3··on Helix: A post-modern text editor
I just use neovim ;) Just commented to inform. But I can see the benefit of something like evil-helix, very limited setup being needed and getting features like LSP out of the box …

There is also evil-helix [0] a helix fork with vim bindings. Maybe that‘s something you would enjoy :)

itsn0tm3··on Charles Proxy
It makes working with Xcode simulators even easier by having a dedicated UI workflow to install the proxy certificates and restart the sim. I used to face issues from time to time doing this with Charles having to restart my machine at times and not getting the certificates to work. Proxyman makes this way nicer to work with and since switching I never faced certificate issues again.

Not trying to do an ad, but really glad I don‘t have to think about that anymore :)

itsn0tm3··on Rust Coreutils 0.5.0 Release: 87.75% compatibility with GNU Coreutils
They are testing it in a real world scenario before putting it into a LTS of theirs.
itsn0tm3··on Windows GUI – Good, Bad and Pretty Ugly (2023)
I truly hate it! Why not use Raycast or Alfred?
itsn0tm3··on Valve is about to win the console generation
I would say that‘s a bit overly simplified, as much as the indie or indie like game scene is thriving, so is the online multiplayer scene. Gaming is huge and just because one thing is big doesn’t mean another is not. Not a zero sum game here.
itsn0tm3··on Show HN: Davia – Open source visual, editable wiki from your codebase
But what if you edited a section about code piece A and then you change that code? Does it have permission to overwrite? Seems like a fairly hard problem to solve.
itsn0tm3··on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs
How about OpenAIs whisper[0]? My social science friends tell me it‘s been great for them. Not sure whether data privacy et all would be an issue of course, but I guess you can just run it locally :)

itsn0tm3··on What happened to Apple's legendary attention to detail?
Maybe try localsend it‘s a great piece of software replicating airdrop but cross platform and open source.

itsn0tm3··on OpenAI, Nvidia fuel $1T AI market with web of circular deals
Only for you as an individual, from an economic and societal perspective a bursting bubble is never good!
itsn0tm3··on Gleam is my new obsession
I have to fully agree. They have a discussion on their GitHub [0] about tabs/identation stating that the design goal is to have a non-configurable formatter.

I get the idea behind having a streamlined formatting style, but I’m really not a fan of denying users the flexibility to adjust it to their needs. Consistency across projects is nice, yet forcing everyone into a single indentation style feels unnecessarily rigid. A little configurability would go a long way :)

itsn0tm3··on Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS
You don’t tell your media player company secrets ;)

I think there is a market here, solely based on actual data privacy. Not sure how big it is but I can see quite some companies have use for it.

itsn0tm3··on ML needs a new programming language – Interview with Chris Lattner
I‘m pretty sure in their early communications the stated very clearly that Mojo is going to be a clear superset of Python. Seems like they paddled back a bit in that regard.
itsn0tm3··on Show HN: Soundscapes and Lofi Player
Looks great :) The layout has some issues on Arc on iOS though. Seems like Arc gives you less vertical space and the player buttons are covered by the browser UI because of that.
itsn0tm3··on I helped fix sleep-wake hangs on Linux with AMD GPUs
Well only as long as you don‘t hackintosh. That stuff used to be a horror sometimes!
itsn0tm3··on Release Notes for Ghostty 1.1.0
I think Ghostty outperforms Kitty in font rendering, especially on high-resolution, high-DPX displays like MacBooks. It also offers integrated session management—both features I personally value highly. That said, Kitty is still an excellent terminal.
itsn0tm3··on Ghostty 1.0
I think this mostly plays a role when using modal text editors like vim in your terminal. Speed matters so very much then! Give it a try if you want ;)
