Follow up rec for my current favorite terminal markdown renderer

We can all agree that markdown is excellent
Do I know anyone who's worked with LittleFS for embedded devices? I'm writing some Rust tooling for building and deploying it and would appreciate hearing about how others have used it!
I did the exact same project - comms library, business logic, and UI - in Python/Qt6 then rewrote it in Rust/egui and it was a very fun and educational A/B experiment!
I've been in "weird esoteric industry protocol running on RS-232" purgatory for months now. SCPI, VE.Direct, now ProXR. I've implemented them all in Python, some in Rust. I think I have to keep building these until I atone for some kind of sin?
I think about this a lot when I see vandalism in public spaces. Someone's little lending library got smashed. It's just so much easier to destroy the thing for a laugh than it is to rebuild it. Yet rebuild it they will.
There are three rules of coding with agents:
1. Keep them away from bright sunlight
2. Never get them wet
3. Never feed them after midnight

AI isn't the thing. It's the thing that gets you to the thing.

Building a CLI is just repeatedly naming things, aka the hardest thing in programming
The pile of ethics books discarded on the sidewalk in San Francisco is more foreboding and ominous than I wanted to see
The Maillard reaction is my favorite reaction
Person: say, i am alive. Computer: I am alive. Person: oh my god.
Let 'er rip
Started at "why is my WiFi so slow?" and now I'm recompiling the Linux kernel
Today's mini deep-dive was into the NTP Pool and now it's a life goal to someday run an NTP server

That's the advantage that I was referring to, easy to roll back or easy to get your system back to the same state if you have to reformat boot partitions or the like.
This seems like a good time to pitch NixOS for servers!
It's become critical infra for me! You can also split multiple web pages into a single tab. Glance is one of my favorite features: previewing a link in a pop up web view that can then be opened into a full tab.
Zen browser supremacy gang gang
It's about as good of an answer as anyone's gonna get right now, I suppose, and I appreciate you wading in. Past movements you drew comparison to had the benefit of privacy; experimental pursuits in colleges or labs. Maybe Gas Town is the same and the problem is that we're all reading it.
I can make any org into a non profit if I engineer hard enough
Why do so many people who ostensibly want AI to succeed talk so publicly about it in a way that seems designed to alienate? Gas Town is the latest in a lineage that started with "AI will take your job". No surprise that so many people are so against it.
The wild content aside, I think I've figured out why every vibe coder I meet went from never having opened the terminal to being a tmux fan in like a week

One release is all you need
It's 2026 and I'm not afraid to say it to the whole world. Cancel me if you want, I have to speak my truth.
Light mode is good and is the appropriate choice in many times and places.
My brother went on a rant about how Apple got rid of USB-C and went back to MagSafe and now he has to carry multiple chargers. When I told him about USB-C charging he was genuinely kinda deflated. Took the heat right outta him.
I just switched my desktop environment from GNOME to COSMIC in minutes. Deleted a dozen lines of text, added a half dozen lines of text, and rebooted. NixOS is absolutely overpowered.
