This is the way. In 2025, I don't think you can expect quality when the incentives aren't aligned (in this case, that you are a customer).


I would say that using a lot of em-dashes was always bad writing. You want to use them sparingly if you want them to have impact.

That said, yes, keep using them (and using them well!).


This is true. I actually originally started using em-dashes because a high school english teacher called out my overuse of regular dashes (where they technically should have been em-dashes, but he didn’t know that) in the place of other types of transitions… which prompted me to research the punctuation properly and consider other ways to transition thoughts too.


We need a new Snow Leopard.


"The myth and reality of Mac OS X Snow Leopard"

I don't really agree with the article in the sense that from a user POV, it wasn't very feature filled and it was much more stable than Leopard.


Claude Code has an elegant solution to the problem you mention, without trying to cram everything into a single nested pane (which feels wrong to me).

In Claude Code, when you edit a file independent from the agent, it automatically notices and says something like "I see you've made a change. Let me take a look."

I wish Gemini CLI would've taken a similar approach, since it seems to fit better with a CLI and its associated Unix philosophy.


Gemini CLI notices changes when it tries to change something and doesn't find what it expects. Then it tells you it's going to reread, and typically handles it fine.


I self-host forgejo but still want a way to publish open-source. I've been using GitHub for this and didn't realize that codeberg.org was an option. Glad to see them getting the press.


I’m not really sure why we need to give in? Just keep writing high quality content that obviously wasn’t AI-generated, and keep using em dashes.

At least, that’s what I’m doing.


There is a virtuous element to resisting and holding strong on a position, but there’s a wisdom element to know that enormous tidal movements cannot be influenced by a few tiny data points and at some point you’re just harming yourself and nothing more.

The key part is having the good judgement and maturity to see when that point is.


I can’t disagree with that. There’s also wisdom in realizing that we are the tide.


Yes, a handful of drops

Nobody is disputing that


> Could anyone here waxing lyrically about Apple so called privacy stand explain to me what that actually is apart from a marketing point Apple keeps repeating?

The end-to-end encryption guarantees on this page seem pretty real to me and have little to do with marketing: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651


Google backup on Android is also end-to-end encryption. The difference is that on Android, I can self-host anything that Apple won't end-to-end encrypt, like maps or application installs.


Can any of this be verified or confirmed independently?


how do you propose they prove that they don't have your encryption keys


You just cannot prove a party doesn't own something.


Forgejo is a really great self-hosted alternative to GitHub.

If you've wondered about hosting your own version of GitHub but have worried it's too hard to set up, I'd encourage you to spend even a few minutes spinning an instance up with Docker Compose and poking around.

Self hosting is a great idea. I’m curious which web features you find most useful? Is it primarily about PRs and code review?

I’m trying to think of what a bare minimum SSH remote experience would look like. Could you do code reviews with a terminal instead.

I love the git SSH experience for speed, but I find myself using GitHub for the PRs & code review. It would be nice to have a self hosted , terminal-based solution


How is forejo's git LFS support? I self host gitea (from before the split) but I am considering making the switch. LFS is a must for me though.


How big are your datasets? Working on an Open Source git-lfs replacement called "oxen" if you are interested.

https://github.com/Oxen-AI/Oxen


Not working with datasets. Binary files aren't that large, and these tools are generally bad for my use case - because I am not concerned about datasets.

I need to track changes in binary files of very reasonable size. Total repo size is <1GB. But even at these small memory requirements it makes much more sense to self host with LFS. I have written this up too many times on the internet to go into great detail about how LFS isn't perfect and how I wish there was something better, but in practice it has worked extremely well for tracking a small amount of binary files. Kudos to the devs.


How does it compare to huggingface's Xet?


> And gitea (originally a Forgejo fork).

I don't think this is right. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitea#Forgejo_fork.


> I see no definition for 'PDE'

Please see the second sentence on the page:
