Remember to put ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 in some random comment as well.

there’s also wezterm if you want more features.
WezTerm - Wez's Terminal Emulator

Wez's Terminal Emulator

I like kitty most
Show threadflere-imsahoMar 25
kitty has two problems, one is called kovid goyal, and the other, kovid goyal having been one-shotted by the autoconfabulators.
Show threadfroztbyteMar 25
why’s that name familiar? calibre?
Show threadFRACTRANSMar 25
precisely
Show threadflere-imsahoMar 26
indeed.
Show threadmirrorwitchMar 25
My problem with kitty is, it didn’t work for the languages I use, and when I complained the dev said he doesn’t care about non-European languages.
Show threadflere-imsahoMar 26

mmhm, and I understand this is generally a problem with terminal emulators and complex scripts.

again, wezterm’s author is very amenable to improve this.

i don’t know how well does the support look like now, but i remember that wez furlong put quite an amount of work to have the visual representation of indic scripts be less painful, for example.

It works for japanese with an IME. What specifically are you missing?
Show threadmirrorwitchMar 26
Kitty? Back when I tried to use it (uim-xim+anthy), no it didn’t, also it broke my xcompose setup. When I asked the devs about it they said they don’t care about non-European languages. I do not want to use software where the devs don’t even bother to performatively pretend that languages outside of Europe matter. What I am missing is being treated like an equal fucking human being.

I tried micro editor recently and it’s pretty nice

I wish 'em well, but I have spent too many hours relearning keybindings and am firmly in the grasp of the sunk-cost fallacy.

Also Neovim’s LSP support genuinely seems to be pioneering a sustainable way to get multi-language code completion/code actions outside of a clunky corporate IDE. So I guess I’ll check that out.

At that point I’m pull out full blown vscodium but to each their own, i didn’t learn keybinds so terminal mouse support was cool enough for me.
Show threadfroztbyteMar 26

vscodium isn’t immune to the problem tbh - put it behind a gating proxy (mitmproxy or something is probably easiest) and watch just how chatty it still is (for plugin mechanism etc)

the entire design of how the vscode ecocystem is put together is in service of their telemetry aims, imo. they may argue it’s “for safety” or whatever, but it’s just control and surveillance. alternative options that don’t do this shit exist and operate just fine

Show threadredsandMar 26
Yes even codium runs behind whonix or with a limited jail. I’m usually doing quick edits with nano so it works
