Dunno why I remembered "The Quantum Thief" by Hannu Rajaniemi. Basically, you had fine-grained control over what others perceived of you. Your friends can see you completely, while strangers can only see a blur.

It was an amazing book.

For the past 20+ years I'm using the same desktop color across various OSes: #000000 This is one of the first things that I modify on a fresh install.

Ah, that's correct.

Got it wrong, because he did write some articles about the EVE economy, like this one: https://www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2014/01/30/war-spikes-in-the-...

Wasn't that Yanis Varoufakis?

So many good memories... reading the Light Fantastic for first time, getting Eric in that big format with many illustrations, the witches, Vimes and the guards during my uni years, Mort, Maurice, and so on and so on... and then... the profound melancholy in the Tiffany Aching books that brings tears to my eyes...

Only if we had designers who like the default datalist appearance...

Adding money to a CIV 1 save game file with the PCTOOLS hex editor.

I think it was possible, but it degraded much more quickly, requiring more frequent repairs.

That's what I did: https://github.com/tuzemec/zedokai-darkest-machine

Awesome! It handles my kinda complicated setup with docking station, USB and DisplayPort switches pretty well.

3. There's "workspace: new center terminal" command that opens terminal as a normal tab.

I ended up using an UGreen dusplayport switch AND separate USB switch. It turns out that most of the kvm switches can't handle well usb mice with high polling rate like Logitech G502 X Plus. Now I need to press two buttons when switching from the gaming pc to the MacBook, but everything works.

You can enable the lm studio server and use any openai compatible harness to use the models that are running inside it. OpenCode, pi, even Claude and Codex...

Thanks! I just ran a quick test with pi, and it's working a bit faster.

I'm currently experimenting with running google/gemma-4-26b-a4b with lm studio (https://lmstudio.ai/) and Opencode on a M3 Ultra with 48Gb RAM. And it seems to be working. I had to increase the context size to 65536 so the prompts from Opencode would work, but no other problems so far.

I tried running the same on an M3 Max with less memory, but couldn't increase the context size enough to be useful with Opencode.

It's also easy to integrate it with Zed via ACP. For now it's mostly simple code review tasks and generating small front-end related code snippets.

I have 4-5 typescript projects and one python opened in Zed at any given time (with a bunch of LSPs, ACPs, opened terminals, etc.) and I see around 1.2 - 1.4gb usage.

I opened just one of the typescript projects inside VSCode and I see something like 1gb (combining the helpers usage). I'm not using it actively, so no extra plugins and so on.

That's on mac, so I guess it may vary on other systems.

Also Fluke - Risotto. Similar vibes.

That's pretty cool!

Btw, it seems that "How trimming works" screen has some missing translations.

I'm using two external 1440p displays at work and one 32" 4k at home (with a MBP). Mostly front-end development and music production at home.

Aerospace improved my productivity a lot on that front. My main apps/windows are now bound to an alt+key combination - I can easily switch without alt+tabbing like in the dark ages.

All my windows usually take up the full screen - I simply can't stand a window that doesn't fill the entire screen - not sure if that's some kind of OCD. The cognitive load of managing apps and spaces was quite high at the beginning, but now it's just muscle memory. I do recognize that it's not for everyone, but works very well for me.

I own a pair of Focal Bathys - amazing sound, bluetooth connectivity, noise canceling, AND usb-c with DAC. I'm very happy with them.

Went to Zed from Sublime and never looked back (I'm on Mac). Never touched VSCode apart of small tests to see that the project setting (format on save, etc) will work for my colleagues. Can't stand it.

I have opened at all times at least 3-4 medium sized front-end projects and at least one large python project and never had memory issues.

I can recommend 'Delta-V' by the same author too.

... and also "The Hollow Man". Loved that one too.

Personally, I don't like this autocomplete or tab-completion thing. I find it very distracting. I understand why someone might like it, but it's just not my thing. I mostly use Claude (and Codex) through ACP in Zed. My colleagues use Cursor and VSCode, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything at all.

In related news, there's a recent scandal in Bulgaria that involves leaked footage from beauty salons and gynecological office appearing on porn sites.

What could go wrong by installing cheap cameras in such places?

All I hear is the music from Second Reality (the plasma cube part).

Nice! I like how it highlights the commands when you hover over them, allowing you to see what they actually do.

I'm still on Sonoma (14). And it pisses me off that there's no easy way to upgrade to Sequoia (15). I really don't want to touch Tahoe at all.
