I know I shouldn’t have, but hear me out

I bought an Anita Bryant vinyl. It was like $1. It was preowned, so none of the money went to Anita or her family (she died in 2024, btw side note that her granddaughter is married to a woman).

I saw it in the store and I’ve always wanted a keepsake from one of Contrapoints’ videos that wasn’t a book. I haven’t touched the vinyl itself in case it burns my gay skin upon contact.

Does anyone have anything else like this? Content where you don’t condone the creator, and your purchase hasn’t funded them, but you for some reason want?

Maybe this is personal masochism; I also (as a Jew) own a copy of Mein Kampf.

I donated a much larger amount to my local LGBT+ centre for my sins, and brought Anita along for the walk. I could feel her presence looking up at me, burning in a hot vat of orange juice.

One of Natalie's most underrated quotes

Talking about conspiracy theories, Natalie says:

>"So, I'm somewhat interested in conspiracy theories. I don't believe in them, but it's one of those things, you know, like cults or serial killers; I don't wanna join a cult, I don't wanna kill anybody, but when it happens... I take an interest."

That line, "when it happens... I take an interest" describes how I feel about so many topics, which some might find macabre or strange to discuss in polite company.

Knowing this sub, I'm pretty sure many of you can relate.

On what issues do you welcome disagreement?

We live in a democracy, which means disagreement is a feature of a functioning society. But people seem to think that disagreement is a problem that needs to be fixed.

They see disagreement not as a natural artefact of society, but as a sign the person disagreeing with them is inferior.

So my question is, what issues are you happy to hear others disagree on?

By happy, I mean:

- their disagreement does not make you angry
- the disagreement does not result in you negatively judging someone’s moral character
- the disagreement is not seen as a result of the person’s stupidity, brainwashing, lack of information or as a part of some wider conspiracy controlling the individual
- the disagreement would remain in a realistically optimal democracy

Really interested to hear your thoughts.

[r/teenagers] Post complaining about r/jewish opens with a thoughtful top comment, instantly descends into rabid anti-Semitism.

It was hard to pick a tag for this one, because it was such a diverse range of anti-Semitism. These people spin around like a lazy susan offering every form of Jew hatred available.

Ghostty Playground: WIP getting Ghostty to run 100% in-browser

Hey everyone,

I have been working on a browser-based Ghostty playground using the ghostty-web renderer.

I really loved the Zerebros Ghostty Config wanted to build on that and ghostty-web to get as close as I could to a fully functioning version of Ghostty in the browser.

It's still very much a work in progress, but so far it includes:

  • Ghostty themes: You can preview the full 500+ standard themes.
  • Config editor: Right-click in the terminal, and access through the context menu.
  • Keybinds: Some are yet to be integrated, others will always fail as they're not feasible for a browser-based version other specific binds won't be available in the browser (e.g., super+t).
  • Filesystem: POSIX-like filesystem with persistence via OPFS.
  • Runtime: Node.js runs at native performance via Wasm. Python is apparently available but in preview, so I'm not sure how well it works.
  • Command line tools: bash, git, npm.
  • 100% in-browser execution: With ghostty-web, BrowserPod and WebLLM, the entire thing runs client-side.
  • Tabs and split view: Not a great implementation yet, but it's a start.
  • Shareable links: The BrowserPod runtime listens for any ports that open and provides Portals (shareable URLs of previewable projects).

I also added an experimental ghostty-ai command for running small local models through WebLLM. The models run and can answer questions in the terminal, but I tried adding tooling for agentic workflows and failed massively. So the LLM interaction works fine, but it's not a serious tool for coding (bear in mind, these are free Hugging Face models that are running inference on-device, in-browser).

As I mentioned, very much a work in progress. Many limitations remain and bugs will no doubt come up.

I would really appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it, as well as any reports of things that break or don't run as expected.

Contributions:

  • Ghostty-web: The bulk of the work goes to this project
  • BrowserPod: For the Linux-like layer with node.js filesystem, bash, git, npm and portals
  • WebLLM: For the in-browser AI inference via WebGPU (very experimental, on my end; their actual work is amazing)
  • Tree Sitter Ghostty: Config syntax highlighting
  • Zerebos Ghostty Config: Ideas for the config preview element of the playground
  • Claude: Heavily prompted to get through this.
