The `left-pad` incident was 10 years ago today.

Thankfully, we've completely solved software supply chains in the years since.

@jackyan I wasn't home when I got your message but I forwarded it to other archiveteam people. It seems they have now paused the job and they plan to resume it later with reduced speed.

Sorry for the inconvenience! There was really no need to make requests so fast if the site isn't shutting down soon, it's just a proactive archival.

@zhuowei Coukd macOS 26.0 work for experimentation? Or is the relevant code different?

@Asklepian tiny-dfr doesn't support apps changing the touchbar contents at runtime, but I think if you stop tiny-dfr, the touchbar is just a display you can render your own window into.

Or maybe I should just get an LSP plugin for Vim 🤔

I accidentally updated VS Code when I updated the rest of my distro and now it has an AI Chat panel by default, the plugins panel has a whole section for MCP servers, etc etc.

How far back do I need to downgrade to?

@dvshkn @lina I think that was the whole point of "generative pre-trained transformers", until OpenAI realized they could just make it big and prompt it to do "anything" and went all-in on that approach.
