Would be confused if you weren't there. Just two more nights to go!

Anyone I know on here going to the PKMSummit in Utrecht this month?

Posted from Pop! OS on my main machine while installing Resolve Studio edition. Forgot how fast this machine really is when given a proper OS

It's time to return my desktop back to Linux, I'm going to give pop! os a try.

Tech: Want to pay for our AI?
Us: No, we already have it covered by another provider.
Tech: Oh, let's integrate it then and give you a all 30% price hike.

Love that rule, helps me calm down so often.

Highly recommend reading, "Mistakes where made, but not by me"

It talks about how things go wrong not because a big evil plan, but because people are well, people.

I think it boils down to, who gets to use the keystroke. The local program (terminal app) or the remote program (Whatever you're running in a shell)

That said, asking the right questions. I like the CLI because it gets me close to the inner workings of a computer.

As for copy and paste, I'll just join you in hating the implementation. It's usually on the mouse, so right click to copy selected text and middle click to paste text.

I'm used to it, but that's just 2 decades of Linux usage

So terminal is dumb, by design and if you want things like shift+enter you need to fix that at the remote machine. (Hint if you type \ and then enter on the command line you get the same result)

While one example, it shows the main issue that makes a terminal "special" it needs to send ALL keyboard combo's, like shift+enter, Win+V, etc...

Same issue you have with remote desktop, what buttons are local, what are remote.

For CMD+C I think it might be related to how things are in the non-mac world where CTRL+C is copy, but in a terminal CTRL+C is break command. In this conflict the latter will win because shell commands are what a terminal is all about.

One of the main reasons is that all shells and CLI apps assume the terminal will behave like this. So if you make the terminal app smarter then you might break things on the other side, this causes a chicken/egg issue that's the main reason terminals stay simple.

That's a bit of a history lesson, as most things in Unix. Terminals still act like it's 1980s in that they only transfer text up and down. Except now we have 1GB high speed world wide internet and back then it was a super slow local serial cable. But you know, why not improve on that?

Define editor for me, if you mean when typing commands that's not the terminals job but the shell. A terminal doesn't have access to a lot of the information for cool things like tab completion.

You can try the fc command in Linux, that will open the last command in an editor.

Going through my tasklist today by being as ruthless as the popular kids in high school. A lot of them won't get to hang around me any longer.

Racing to get everything organised before my hyperfocus on 3d Printing wears out.

I mostly started this so my adhd brain stops losing everything. 😅

When everything has it's place, it's easier to keep things tidy. Things without a real home take more brain power then we realize.

Our relaxing train construction game Station to Station is now on sale on Steam! 60% off, now is an excellent time to try our beautiful chill railroad builder!

Didn't realize that it was Dutch made. (Thanks for the repost @leeuwenhart.bsky.social)

Today I'm getting my first 3D printer, picked Prusa because I like the idea of open source and getting things for the long haul.

We used to have tear-off hotbars, not sure why they disappeared. This is from Delphi, notice the ridge on the left of the bar. Then again it was too clunky for your suggested use case I'm afraid.

This post seems broken, is the link working for others?

Open Source preference still on point. 😁

Cross posting does give me a lot of feedback on the different platforms

I'm using a single page for my Zettelkasten in Logseq, wondering if people have pro's / con's on why to do it in separate pages vs single page approach.

What pulled me over was @hankgreen.bsky.social pointing out how the algorithm has such a big say in what you see. Love Mastodon, but it lacks discoverability so now I'm hanging out here to test the water.

Always great to hear! Planning to get going again during the end of year holidays. Mostly about #Zettelkasten in #Logseq as I have been messing with that a lot during the break.

It does, but only for pages, not for tags if I remember correctly. Though I'm waiting for page merges to happen since I often have duplicate topics that mean the same thing with my scatterbrain way of working.
