Recently, I learned that I can rename my tmux windows by using prefix+,, which makes the tab bar so much more useful than just zsh zsh zsh zsh.

This is a very cool idea for commenting out a node in a tree in KDL

@quizzicus No underline, but bold (at least on macOS Firefox):

TIL that you can italicize emoji.

When your manager sends you this meme (lolsob)

Wait, what? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of these being called “punched cards” before!
