Heya! 🥳 Super thrilled to announce XenoAtom.Terminal.UI is out in public preview: https://xenoatom.github.io/terminal/ 🚀

It's a modern, reactive retained-mode terminal UI framework for .NET - composable visuals, binding-first state updates, proper measure/arrange layout, and a fast cell-buffer renderer with alpha-blended theming (truecolor 🎨 terminals look gorgeous!).

Demos + docs are live - feedback welcome! 🙌

Thesis:

Bitcoin will not die from technology or regulation, but from the fact that AI consumes the same fuel while promising a higher return.

Or, more polemically:

Bitcoin burns electricity to cosplay as money.

AI burns electricity to generate power.

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...

Hei! 👋🏻 I know a few of my followers are from or have lived in Norway 🇳🇴 - seeking your advice!

Curious if anyone has advice on how to find a new fastlege (primary care doctor). The one I was assigned upon moving here is very much not a fit. 😢 I'm looking at reviews on legelisten.no but curious if there are other things I should be looking at/for!

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

It's a really impressive work of Claude Opus 4.6: A C compiler written in Rust which is capable of compiling a booting Linux kernel and passing their test suites include PostgreSQL and SQLite. 😳

McNuggets topped with caviar. That's it folks. Shut it down. Shut the whole thing down. We're done.

It’s really surprising to me that the #fediverse hasn’t agreed on a standardized way to open cross-instance #activitypub objects and instead relies on links that open in the browser. #urischeme

I found this proposal and what’s thinking… https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/07d7/fep-07d7.md Which one would be your favorite?

(If anyone has updates on the progress, feel free to point me in the right direction)

⏳ With less than two weeks remaining, we want to share a reminder that the @rustconf 2026 CFP closes on February 16.

As the host of #rustconf, we see the program as a reflection of the community itself — the real challenges, ideas, and experiences people are working through with Rust today.

If you have a clear, well-considered perspective you think should be part of that conversation, we encourage you to submit a proposal! https://bit.ly/3M0bhl5

Hey LINUX USERS. There is a LINUX USER who got stranded on Bluesky instead of here somehow and— you'll be shocked to hear this I'm sure— she's having problems with Pipewire. She's tried a couple different configurations, and all have the same problem: Either audio is choppy, or audio works a bit then after a reboot suddenly *becomes* choppy.

Her full setup:

I am very close to unsubscribing from a podcast that I have listened to for 20 years, because the hosts will not shut the fuck up about “AI”.

I appreciate that LLM-based tech is in the news and they cover it (often with a lot of knowledge, because they both understand it fairly well), but there’s so much rampant speculation about it solving all problems, and I’m tired of it.

I don’t want to. I like(d) this podcast.

Pretty fucking close though.
