  1. I never really took to tmux, just sort of made a treaty with it and managed to configure it well enough to live with it. The whole “it’s a thing on the thing over there running in a terminal” and having to deal with a prefix key, etc. just didn’t work for me.

    Rex from Superlogical is what I always wanted things to be like. It runs over there, but you run the libghostty-based terminal app over here and all the tabs, splits, etc. are native to the terminal, similar to how tmux -CC makes iTerm behave, except the terminal is more like ghostty.

    The whole experience of being mux’d Over There, hitting cmd-t to open a new tab, and the tab opening Over There is how I’ve always wanted it to be.

    Tailscale aware, agent aware, iOS client, pretty, snappy.

    It’s in private beta. I signed up on a whim, got in after a day, and I am finding it delightful. It has already replaced my Blink/tmux setup.

  2. Reading the MS365 updates on their status page made my eye twitch. Whenever a SaaS app goes down at work, I field a few nervous “is there something you can do” queries from senior management before breaking down and saying something, which would read like this if I felt like candor was on the table:

    “Hi, everybody. As you’ve all informed us multiple times in Slack, #{a_service} is down. We’re watching the status page, and if you feel like cosplaying an IT worker in the age of literally every single app your users depend on being a SaaS, here’s a URL you can reload every few minutes until you get bored and do that license audit you’ve been putting off. You can deepen the authenticity of the experience by having your boss ask you every 30 minutes ‘is it back yet? Should you post another comm?’

    When service is restored we will briefly debate posting an all clear then decide that the people who care will have been compulsively reloading the page every 10 minutes, and the people who don’t will be at the Tuesday Godzilla matinee anyhow.”

    Most crypto and AI ads avoided mentioning their industries at all, instead telling voters what they thought they’d want to hear. One “AI safety” PAC network ran “remove the illegals, seal the border” ads for a Republican and “overhaul ICE” ads for a Democrat a few hours away.
