  • Seems the pitch is just that it supports Apple specific bells and whistles like the emoji bar and beyond that has the stuff other terminals have. I use tilda and use that because it has a critical core feature I haven’t seen in other terminals: it appears full screen over all other windows with a keypress and disappears the same way. Since I use terminal heavily I don’t want to treat it as just another window but as a first class experience which tilda allows. I don’t really get why you’d make yet another terminal without some fundamental core functionality difference like that.



  • Tragic that people are still falling victim to these hope-rot schemes. Had an experience with facilitated writing schemes with family members 20 years ago. From non-verbal to shockingly eloquent in no time! It’s a miracle, turns out they were a genius trapped with an inability to express themself! Oh isn’t it strange that some people just can’t facilitate with them and what they say/know changes with the facilitator? Oh well, but thankfully the facilitator can always tell you what is meant when they use uncommon abbreviations!










  • Plus, the license was only changed on a secondary branch. The default branch still has the MIT license. The text at the top isn’t “this is the license file you have open” it’s “the repo is licensed under this” so it’s correct behavior but bad UX. It would be most user-friendly to show repo license and then also say “this branch has an invalid license, beware shenanigans”







  • I imagine they’d be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they’d be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.
