OpenAI just released something that lets ChatGPT MacOS see your terminal, so it can use that context to help you.

But, I found it has 2 serious undocumented limitations with terminal: it can't see anything if terminal is full screen, or in tmux. ☹️

I can understand engineers who use Linux. I can understand engineers who use macOS. I really don’t understand engineers who use Windows (except windows app developers). By understand I mean I can see the value system they operate under. It just seems bad for non-Windows dev work

Bring your partner, family and/or friends to share a meal on Wednesday night with Linux people in Victoria.

1. Of course, pun is intended.

2. Of course, it's an AI image.

Anyone got a good recommendation for a Linux laptop?

I've been looking at System 76 Galago Pro 14 and the Librem-14 so far, both seem solid.

Hey lovely #Linux people. Can anyone point me to someone working on #AgStack? I'd love to have a chat before my agtech talk at @linuxaustralia @linuxconfau

I have a slide about you and would love to be able to give some more insight if a question gets asked.

Thank you :)

AFAICT this Chinese group built, in 2 years, a CPU design that is within striking distance of being a competitive RISCV desktop processor and it's open source, incredible.
