Now, when the Ubuntu update drops?
Ghostty 1.4 is now out! Full Kitty graphics with animation (the first terminal besides Kitty to do it), scrollback compression for much lower memory usage, macOS 27 support, a new OpenGL renderer on Linux, ghostty +ssh, big performance gains, and hundreds more changes.
The highlights:
- Scrollback compression: scrollback compresses ~90+% on average, meaning your terminals use that much less live memory
- Huge memory savings across the board: no single large thing, just lots of good improvements lowers memory usage everywhere, netting anywhere from 50 to 90% less memory usage depending on workload
- Kitty graphics is now 100% complete, including animation and relative placements, after a full conformance pass against the spec and Kitty itself
- The Kitty clipboard protocol, with an image preview when a program asks to read your clipboard
- Split drag and drop on Linux, including between windows
- ghostty +ssh installs terminfo on remote hosts automatically, so things just work over SSH
- Lots of terminal emulation accuracy fixes
This release is 7 months of work from 172 contributors over 2,889 commits. It also fixes 10 security advisories, so please update.

I don't endorse but appreciate moving away from Google-choked Android
Vinix, a new OS/kernel built from scratch, can now run Android apps!
vinix-os.org
The goal: full Android runtime, minus the ads.
As Android grows more bloated and closed, Vinix aims to offer a truly open alternative.
Here's Google Maps running on Vinix:
Vibe questioning: When experts cluelessly ask what about this and that, you drill down on the question: How are they similar to us?

If the "experts" are talking out of their asses, you ought to be able to turn the tables on them by asking questions like "What about them seems similar to us?"

We also are reminded it used to be "getdropbox dot com"

And we read more from unusually quiet YC cofounder Trevor Blackwell. Trevor was a disastrous partner for YC, a classic "scenester" in Garry Chan's terminology, who was so desperate to be included in robotics scene that he was driving around surrogate robots he built in 2009 all by himself like a total scenester loser.

Added checkboxes to my link management tool, to keep track of what i read. Already having an idea for features to vacuum (sorry i like dbs) read links.

And you can't sleep also. MRU -> DXB -> SFO or stuffs like this put you in a mindset where you just live in the present in Zombie mode.
Added MCP to linkversity . lol and now i use the tool everyday with my agent to org links.
> Save these links to linkversity in appropriate subsections
First time i saw this i knew this person could not have been an OSS maintainer.
Trying to submit linkversity.lol extention to the chatGPT store. Very long ride so far. One thing: MCP seems to be a cornerstone tech currently.
Been paying the bills for LLM-generated codes. Came to the conclusion that human review is needed.
Mind boggling
Strong argument from Samuel on why Graphs are a bad idea, and why Pydantic Monty and @temporalio are a better option.
