Given that you're already using Home Manager: Make sure to also take a look at plasma-manager! [1]

It extends HM's declarative config to KDE/Plasma's config files, which are harder to manage since they also contain volatile state like window geometry. For discovery, there is also a `plasma-manager` executable that prints out most (all?) active settings. In particular the keybindings are included in there.

(This doesn't directly answer your question, but maybe is informative regardless and/or helpful for finding related options)

> I've been pretty happy with it, ever since they made the photo's app actually have shareable libraries it's been just as good as any other Google Mail/Photos/Files thing I've used.

Glad to hear you found a service that's useful to you!

> If I have to encrypt my files before I use the drive, and they continue to build their AI spy into everything, though, then what is the point really?

That would be concerning indeed, but there is no such integration today and it seems unlikely they would integrate non-local models into drive. Even on the mail side, any use of LLMs is optional, opt-in, and limited to text production (i.e. no training on your inbox).


Funny timing, I moved to Ghostty this week and just today I ran into OOM crashes in Ghostty while developing a terminal UI app. Coincidentally this TUI has a tab bar that looks like this, where UTF8 icons are used for recognizability and activity indicators (using © and € as placeholders here):

    1|Flakes ©    2|Installed ©    3|Store © €    4|Security © €
   ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This works fine normally, but resizing the terminal would quickly trigger the crash - easy to avoid but still annoying!

I was already preparing myself to file a bug report with the easy repro, but this sounds suspiciously close to what the blog post is describing. Fingers crossed :)

(EDIT: HN filters unicode, booo :( )


Why would I move to GhosTTY versus the terminal emulator that comes with my OS as it's not clear to me from the documentation?


I don't think I can do a better overview than https://ghostty.org/docs/about . It's not world-changing but simply a very polished, well-executed terminal.

GPU rendering virtually eliminates typing latency. Most terminals that have it don't support native content like tabs, but Ghostty gets minimal latency without having to compromise on essentials since it uses native toolkits under the hood.

The modern TTY has lots of protocol extensions that allow your CLI tools to do things like display high-resolution images. There's tons of good-quality color themes out-of-the-box (with a built-in browser for preview).

Configuration is highly customizable but the defaults are good enough that you barely need it.


I wish a couple of those paragraphs were on the home page!


I moved because Ghostty feels just like the native terminal but allows me to set the color scheme. I have it set to match the vscode Monokai theme.

No, macos Terminal will not let you use whatever colors you like. It will helpfully adjust the colors you select to increase contrast. And it can't be disabled. It bugged me for years.


Even more specifically, the full menu chain is System Settings -> Notifications -> Application Settings, which then includes a search bar where you can enter "Donation" or "Request for Donation". (Mentioning it since entering that term in the main search bar doesn't bring up any results)


Yes thank you that helped!


It's similarly bogus here. Early Asahi development tried to upstream as much as possible but ultimately still maintained a gigantic pile of downsteam patches, which wasn't a sustainable model.

Most of current development is focused on reducing that pile to zero to get things into a tractable state again. So things continue to be active, but the progress has become much less visible.


M2 to M3 was a complete architectural change that will require a lot of reverse engineering. As far as I know no one is working on this. The M1/M2 work was a labor of love of largely one dev that has since moved on.

The project is still active and working to upstream the work of these devs. But as far as I know, no NEW reverse engineering is being done. Ergo, it’s a dead end.

Would be happy to be proven wrong.


There's still plenty of options around, Qobuz and 7digital in particular offer drm-free flac downloads.


People are already getting worked up about being prompted to opt into a new feature on update (even if that prompt is hidden behind an icon that doesn't do anything until the user clicks it), so it's not inconceivable that the kill switch just disables those opt-in prompts for AI-related features.


Just in case anyone's tempted to buy one of these now: Support is alright after heroic (and continuing) efforts to improve platform support, but it's flaky. M1/M2 devices offer better performance and the state of Asahi drivers is much better, particularly around audio.


+1. Been running Asahi Linux for half a year now. Everything that's advertized as working is working great.


Sadly compile times of LLVM-based recompilers make it impractical for competitive x86 emulation. We're not just talking a few single-frame stutters here and there, but considerable startup delays and pauses in-game.

LLVM's optimization passes also are less useful than you might think, since the vast majority of them is motivated by source->binary translation (like clang). They don't have much effect when recompiling an already optimized binary to another architecture.
