Developer, soon-to-be aircraft maintenance engineer.

Nicely done.

This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen

@slatty @sseebys I was so unbelievably happy to see Destroyer in the top ten. Kaputt is absolutely one of my all-time favourite albums!!

Hate to see people supporting an app that’s blatantly ripping off the hard work of legitimate teams

@evilrabbit_ Sick!! I love this, the Geist family are the onlytypefaves I've stuck with for more than a year. I use them everywhere I can lol

[jack @viis_dev]

@devbenbo Btw, have you tried skim? I loved fzf for the longest time, but I've been trying skim for the last little while and it seems noticeably faster

[jack @viis_dev]

@devbenbo lx, the best way to list your files 🙃

@terkeedu @mersomas It’s very obviously just AI post-processing on a very zoomed-in phone camera photo

I want to explain a bit about OLED panels here, and before getting into it you don’t have to agree with the decisions Apple makes, but it’s at least worth understanding them a bit more

It’s likely an LTPS OLED and not LTPO. You can also have a panel capable of 120hz, as in the OLED won’t burn out, but that doesn’t mean the display controller or backplane support it. You’d likely use LTPS for cost savings.

LTPS doesn’t support variable refresh rate, which means you’re locked into essentially 60hz, 120hz, and that’s basically it. The reason you don’t do this is calibration time for color, LTPS display panels don’t hold color calibration and brightness data across different refresh rates well, which means you take a massive hit on battery and longevity of the panel.

LTPS transistors leak, so the pixel can't hold its charge, and if you drop the refresh rate too low you get flicker and brightness droop. That usually caps the bottom around 60Hz.

Every refresh mode also needs its own gamma/brightness calibration, or you get flicker and color shifts when it switches. More modes means more calibration and QC.

Most android OEMs either lock at 120hz/60hz variable and swap between those two modes but battery takes a hit. Some android OEMs don’t care, you probably won’t notice, it it does happen.

Apple waited until LTPO for OLED ProMotion because, likely, color calibration and dynamic refresh rate for battery. iPad Pro has it for a reason, as does the iPhone and Apple Watch (that’s more AOD but still)

Again you don’t need to agree with it, but there’s usually a reason for why these decisions are made.

@FlayerYT @nos_ult @LukeMiani Ah, that’s probably it. My bad!

[jack @viis_dev]

@FlayerYT @nos_ult @LukeMiani Must not have on release. My brother's is 64 GB

[jack @viis_dev]

@nos_ult @LukeMiani Well, the previous model started at 64 GB lmao

[jack @viis_dev]

@SnazzyLabs @LukeMiani Yes, pilots love them!

[jack @viis_dev]

Nice, that looks cool! I basically just stripped back a bunch of stuff from Ghostty (splits, most keybinds that were conflicting with my setup, etc) then did a little styling pass and added vertical tabs. Very pleasant now.

I think I remember Mitchell saying that libghostty was sort of intended to be “the product” originally, and Ghostty was sort of a tech demo for it. Either way, I love both and am insanely grateful for the work they put into making the terminal a pleasant experience!

[jack @viis_dev]

You know, the best thing about Ghostty might be the fact that they put so much effort into libghostty and then also made that public. I just vibe coded a super simple and performant terminal emulator for myself in just a couple hours!

@pizzaboy This is so sick!

@grok @BerndSchoen @RRyanMalk So you’re saying the job of aircraft maintenance engineers should be nice and stable?
