Related to this are the (rather poorly named ) kitty terminals graphics protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/ Yeah it is playful and all, but telling your colleagues to use "kitty" doesn't sound very professional. You might disagree with this, but that doesn't change the overall perception and general take in corporate world.

Wait until you find out about Git.

What do you mean? There's some problem with the old english word for "you two"?

When did dual forms become problematic?

Initially about 15 years ago because the laptop I bought did not have kernel support for the mobile gpu so I could not run a graphical desktop for a while, so I added kernel support for framebuffer on my GPU myself which was only a 7 line change (upstreamed to kernel) and then realized the framebuffer plus tmux and I was kind of set apart from youtube, so I wrote a one liner to pull raw video content from youtube and…

"Can you setup a daily job to monitor and download youtube videos from any channels listed in subscriptions.txt"

"Can you setup a daily job to search for any articles on supply chain attacks, format them as normalized markdown files and store them under Research/supply-chain ?"

"Can you go find me a good price on some used DDR5 ram from a reputable seller?"

Etc etc.

Use agents to bring the internet to you.

Can do basically anything with a Strix Halo board at home.

This is a great tip, do you have others? I've tried to ditch graphical desktop envs and failed pretty miserably on media consumption and browsing before.

I'm curious, what's the motivation for not having a graphical environment at all?

For me it's about having a distraction-free environment. I dislike having useless information cluttering my screen real-estate.

Even now that I moved away from text-only, I typically work only with fullscreen windows. All I want to see is what I am focusing on at the moment.

interesting. i can definitely think of similar use cases. but can all of this be accomplished with local LLMs? do you run it on expensive hardware? are there specific models, agent frameworks and other tooling you recommend?

btw as another strategy to avoid web browsing i've been relying a lot on content being delivered as email newsletters. seems like it would also be easy to process that using LLMs

Git is a decidedly British insult and that was the definition being used when Linus named it. He jokes that he named it after himself.
