Love cmux but lately it's having performance issues. It is not responding for a few seconds when I switch between terminals in the same workspace. I'm tired of it and just use ghostty. I miss the notification from cmux though :(.

Also gave up Thunderbird years ago because of the same reason. Just wanted something stable and chose Spark. Works on every device, not a problem for years.

As an Asian, the DEI idea and how it was executed puzzled me as well.

Apple's first VP of diversity said [1]:

> “Diversity is the human experience. I get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to the people of color, or the women, or the LGBT.”

> “there can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blonde men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation.”

She had to resigned [2] for saying so. That really confused me, isn't what she said... true?

Steam (and every other storefronts) has been taking 30% since its beginning. When did it become "greedy"?

Is EGS offering the same quality of service as Steam? Is EGS making profits? Is 12% really sustainable?

Not the same thing. I want them to be completely separate, just like Chrome profile.

Yes. I replaced Docker Desktop with it and I haven't found anything lacking for my use cases so far. It's a great alternative, just install and a few clicks, that's it.

Well shoplifting is too common in SF now because people don't report crimes like that anymore. I'll give you one example, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr-kGYTNaxc

If they are comfortable stealing on camera, expect worse there.

Same. My first job was to write perl test script in a fortune 100 company. Then I pretty much used it for every scripting stuff.

After I moved on to the next job, working on Python was so much easier. I have never written a line in perl since then.

> open platforms

> introduce 3rd party exclusivity on PC

I don't think that's him sticking to a "certain principles", he's just doing whatever it takes to make people think Epic is the "good guy", as long as he's doing the opposite of the competitors.

For example, take a look into his take about blockchain games. At first he was against NFT games [1], then after Valve banned NFT games, Gabe Newell talked about it [2], Tim suddenly was OK with it [3]?

He fought with Apple because he thought he could win it, so his Fortnite could avoid 30% transaction fee. They clearly had a lot of discussion, strategies before suing Apple and thought it was a good idea, they could have won big. It's not a bad business decision if he can win, but they didn't so it looked bad.
