There was a really interesting podcast on the AP style and its entrenched biases - but only available to subscribers:

Scummy landlord’s gonna scummy landlord.
I really appreciate your response. It’s incredibly helpful and deeply thoughtful. Thank you.
What comes next is not directed at you but rather provides some other color based on a few things you touched on.
I worked for the guy. He gets no slack from me. He changed my life in many ways both wonderful and not. And while it’s unlikely I’d work with or for him again he was a net positive in my life.
I don’t see product the way he sees product which is exactly as you note: it’s for him. Some of that “for him” approach has resonated deeply with the OSS community and still does. He changed Cloud Computing in the best of ways. He’s a giant. And we’re lucky he’s around.
This small ghostty issue (and some others I can’t recall now) was emblematic of our core disagreement about how we build systems for a broader user base. That’s why I said I get their PoV but disagree with it. I think it would be fair to say using the product reminded me a lot about this particular tension. Reading the GitHub issues even more so. That’s wholly on me.
I am thankful to ghostty for helping me explore many more options. I had been using iterm2 on my laptop and struggling to find something I liked on my Linux workstation. Checking out the new hotness after all the hype still resulted in a net positive.
Nevertheless I am genuinely happy it’s working for you and, again, thanks for your kind and calm response.
Yep - but seeing the thread about it in their github repo was also a turn off. I don’t have to do it with other clients.
I also believe that has to happen on each server - and we’ve got a lot of servers. I’m not particularly keen on needing to change anything to get my terminal emulator to, well, work.
While I get the ghostty team’s PoV - I don’t agree with it.
Ghostty has lots of issues ssh-ing into remote systems that aren’t on the bleeding edge.
I couldn’t get it to work reasonably well enough for me and tried a bunch of others. Currently using Alacritty on both my Linux desktop workstation and Mac Laptop.
I use Zellij anyway and it has all the tab/pane/floating window support I was looking for.
Won’t you be my Neighbor is a wonderful documentary whether you’re a fan or not.
Jones H-Bars for life.
Great ride, thanks for sharing.
As someone who loves bike tech I recently toyed with tyrewiz - but came to the conclusion it was one step too far (both in terms of installation and also surpassing any real world use case - as I have none).
I’m not saying people shouldn’t be into whatever they’re into but I think your sentiment is correct - there’s simply no need to have yet another piece of information fed to the average rider constantly.
Over the years I’ve slowly divested myself of most devices on my main bikes. No more head unit, no more cadence or speed sensors. I don’t and have never had a power meter fitted to any of my bikes (though my indoor winter trainers all them).
I do love me some electronic shifting but I don’t have it connected in realtime to anything. I just want to ride.
I check my pressures before every ride whether it’s road, gravel, bike packing or mountain biking (or almost every ride) - but that’s enough and more than most riders do.
One other thing a lot of these gadgets do, is make the setup to go ride often a little more annoying. “Oh today my front wheel tire pressure sensor is acting up.”
That said; if anyone wants this stuff go for it - I just think the market is small (albeit very very well off - and the fact this is Zipp wheels supports that.)
I’m often reminded of this satire piece: https://www.lavelocita.cc/opinion-page/data-disconnection
It reinforces, at least for me, that I love riding and everything else is just noise.
Something smells funny. Musky even.
From the article:
Note: these are estimates
While this is probably more interesting for a synthesizer community, Alex usually touches on how these instruments influence production and writing. Plus he's a brilliant musician in his own right.
And so, I thought it equally belongs here.
Hearing that opening line brings back so many memories.
It looks like the transition to a single company is underway.
This kind of monolithic beast isn't often musician friendly (look at what Waves tried recently). But, it also opens up the door for new players to make some headroom (har har).
It'll be interesting to see how the matrix of these products looks in a year's time.
It could be anything from tutorials, YouTube channels, plugins/software, anything goes for this first post.
One of the most recent things I've stumbled across recently was Baphometrix's Clip-to-zero series. While I don't work on music that needs to be competitively loud, the in-depth series helped provide a new perspective to incorporate into decades-old mixing habbits.

I also really appreciate the work Dan Worrall is doing these days: https://www.youtube.com/c/DanWorrall

We do both.
A) use the language set by the user in their os/browser B) switcher shows the language name in that language
Done, easy, etc. IMO the hard part are great translations and designs that work in languages where every word is a novel. And yet, here we are.
