@oskargroth "Apple spent 18 months ignoring the regulations" — where did you get this? Apple is asking for an additional 18 months to implement the features needed to comply with the DMA, and it makes sense.

@mitsuhiko This ☝️. I gave up waiting for this a couple of weeks ago and added self-hosted Netbird as my "business tailnet." It’s not as polished, but it does the job well while I’m waiting for Tailscale to come around.

@thomaspaulmann @raycast You’ve been pushing the limits in this category for years, and I admire your work.
I’m just really disappointed that you’re not taking the same stance on the technical side of things. I understand your choice and position, but you can’t be serious with that “why?”

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@thomaspaulmann @raycast This is simply ridiculous. 😐

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@mikker feels fine, but at what cost? some, a bit less funded apps, are doing quite a bit better

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@mehd_io Great feature, HTTP server extension were kinda doing it before, but this is much nicer! Added it to my DuckDB-WASM SQL IDE ^_^

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@simonbs Thank you! It is fresh, I totally missed it.

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@mikker WTH? Why it is so good?! 😅Both the app and the video.

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@dhh Funny that most people who show an influx of GitHub activity in May/June got locked in due to agentic coding, but you found your own way through rediscovering Linux.

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@steipete @ArminWolf In natural habitats! I don’t even understand german by listened for 15 minutes 😅

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@dhh Kinda related: Omarchy would benefit from built in TextSniper alternative, I’ve built one and suggested in issues a while ago.

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@dhh There is a delightful cross platform, full featured and well supported option https://t.co/XU5KkHiunu I’ve been using it for months on Omarchy, worth considering as the default

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@SnazzyLabs It is not Studio Display exclusive, my M4 MacBook Air flickers like crazy

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@simonw > I haven’t adopted git worktrees yet

I didn't until I made myself a simple, purpose-built CLI for that. https://t.co/95QcSsjFD7

>I do a fresh checkout, often into /tmp

And this is a CLI that makes /tmp a tad more enjoyable

@mitchellh @OrbStack YES! I was really happy to see it.. @zeddotdev when? 😇

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@steipete Remarkably bad after Rust rewrite, but good as interface to GPT-5 to one shot debug things.

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@ChristianSelig To be fair clearly not your fault, just Google at its best. All google cloud designed to give you a headache first, and everything else after that, if you still care

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@steipete It is less often for me on Opus, then Sonnet. Which is weird because my guess would be this detection happens before hitting a model

[Alex Mabe @melonamin]

@steipete @camsoft2000 Zed’s team is going to replace the terminal with Ghostty, but AFAIK no timeline yet
