Emacs is my new window manager (howardism.org)
•
Me: Open browser full screen, vscode selfhosted, termix, tacticalrmm/guacamole. Nowadays I only need a browser.

you can do the same with https://omarchy.org/

Hmm ... I used ratpoison 25 years ago ... is it current/maintained ? Is there a live release/support/discussion ecosystem for ratpoison in 2025 ?
•
It was released 25 years and four days ago, and is still around. Simple enough to still work I'd bet, though the last official release was in 2017 or so. https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/ http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/ratpoison I used it for a while back then, before switching to IceWM because it was more fun to configure. Prepared me well for a much later move to i3.
Thanks to EXWM (not mentioned here), emacs has been my literal X window manager for several years. I installed it as a lark, thinking there's no way this will work properly, and just never stopped using it. It's brilliant.
•
EXWM is great, having the same flow to manage X applications as for emacs buffers is a huge benefit. My only concern is if X11 will be maintained sufficiently into the future to keep using it, currently there is no Wayland support in EXWM.
Palantir Could Be the Most Overvalued Company That Ever Existed (247wallst.com)

>Palantir would need to grow its revenues roughly 15-fold (yes, 1,500%) over the next quarter century, implying sustained annual revenue growth in the 35% range over this time frame. That's actually a pretty reasonnable ask for a tech company, if you believe Palantir can grow to the level of FAANG.
•
This is the first time I've seen an ad presented as a bullet point in a list of otherwise-salient bullet points. Nefarious.
•
Can somebody explain how the software actually adds value? How is it really that amazing? Or is it just a buzz word?

Michael Burry shares his own thoughts on the subject, toward the end https://pca.st/episode/17966c7b-a56e-46f7-ab2d-03d86dbad650
it may well be terrible software, but Palantir are effectively an arm of the new Trumpian state, so guaranteed access (and ownership?) to the largest public sector projects of the largest economy in the world. It's got a good chance of becoming the Samsung of the US, so any value is not an overvalue

Let's reconsider what you think the word value means
