Make tmux cut/paste work on mac terminal.app so I don't have to install iterm2 bloatware.

I select with mouse and paste to wherever, works every time?

How can it not work? I think the only even loosely relevant setting on my .tmux.conf is: set -g mouse on

I related to this. I think the 4D chess crowd are, like the "I did my own research" crowd projecting a dominance view in the moment, not actually providing a rebuttal.

It's the deux ex machina of our times. How can Elon be wrong about invading Moscow. You don't understand but I do

except it didn't. The word ALMOST is missing.

So a Mac raspberry pi but with less GPIO based options?

The Apple TV chassis is the space you're in.

It is a certain pragmatic crazy to package phone spec as computers.

Waiting for the first AI bridge fall over, the first significant AI engineering loss. We had Box-Girder Bridges from faulty models. and we had Therac, and we had the UK med school institutionalised racism in the automatic candidate selection logic so it's definitely out there in our past, applying computing to problems.

I think legal sanctions against professional status are probably the way to go. Your charter status to do a thing should be contingent on actually doing it, not on passing it off to a collected wisdom machine.

I'm not oppositional to this ab initio, but is there any good evidence this will work? I see the pressure on the demand side: the parents concerned with the never ending feed. What I don't see is some A/B testing, we checked, and a "thats all folks" feed end makes people stop and go away.

Some of my views in reddit do that. "thats all folks" And .. I just go to another subreddit. So I can't say this ends my never-ending scrolling. What effect it's having at scale, I'd want to see some numbers.

Some things which are marginal are still worth doing. Turning the internet off at 9pm might well be a good idea. Or Albianian 1970s "no TV on mondays" (not sure it really was a thing, but I do remember the dot at mightnight after the national anthem on the BBC)

One might argue the social media companies already did that research before adopting infinite scroll.

Trumpian Coalition is a delightful phrase. The Coalition would stun Americans because it consists of "the liberal party" which is rightist, not liberal, and "the "national party" which is frankly Agrarian Socialist, but very pro mining.

The Liberal party is run by an incompetent economist who rorted NSW water rights in his family farm company, and who misunderstood social media enough to post boosters to his socials as himself "well done angus" is now meme-ified, while the Agrarian Socialists are run by a competent Economist (who worked for the productivity commission and actually understands how money works) who is as mad as a cut snake for Nuclear, and opposed to solar and wind because his pay cheque makes it necessary.

The Liberal leader wants to promote highly illiberal policy, the Agrarian socialist leader wants to let mining companies destroy the farming base.

The even more right wing "Pauline Hanson's one nation" party is the actual Trumpian party, noting a mining magnate runs "the Trumpet of Patriots" party which is in turn, definitionally Trumpet-oriented.

A very funny but apt and fair assessment.

It's certainly been weird to see their silly childish push-back against renewables like solar power. As for wind power though, locally I've heard via some National Party faithful(s) that some wind project are being put in boneheaded areas bundled with very lax governmental permissions, enabling clearing tracks (dirt roads) up to the top of various mountain ridges that no other industry would ever get away with. Boneheaded as there's just as much or more wind on the coast where existing transmission lines already exist.

Popularism is a problem here in Australia as well - who would have thought decreasing / cutting funding (starting around the 1990s) from basic tertiary education and further adult skill education would come back to bite - in particular considering recent state voting, especially the liberals on the bum.

It's like "decimate" -you would think 10x had literal force, but it's more figurative. It just means "moar"

(decimate had specific literal intent. Now it's just a force modifier like bigly)

> Removing 1/10

feels euphemistic for the original “colloquial” usage I have for it.

> The killing of one in ten, chosen by lots, from a rebellious city or a mutinous army was a punishment sometimes used by the Romans. The word has been used (loosely and unetymologically, to the irritation of pedants) since 1660s for "destroy a large but indefinite number of." [0]

Yup. What amuses me is that people think that decimate is to massively degrade something. I assume they're thinking "reduce to 1/10th" rather than "reduce to 9/10th". The effect is markedly different

Good time to heed the signal and leave. It's an anti-pattern for humanity.

Yeah I know- I have accounts on bluesky and mastodon as well- but I try not to isolate myself to one network, there are plenty of non-usa accounts that were only on X who I followed for technology and art/photography stuff. shikata ga nai I guess.

lol yep. Was miffed for about 5 minutes, as I hadn't done anything wrong. Then realized it was probably a good thing. See ya....

At the cost of complexity, should they have had platform diversity, and so e.g. a small iPad or an Android tablet?

Or .. a spare? I guess the "spare" here was "use somebody else's"

I hope they selected diverse production runs. I have been exposed to "yea, that generation of thinkpad had bad PSU, sorry" problems in the past.
