While tempting, there’s a good chance the wielder would be literally killed in response. And unlike drivers killing people, the law would come down hard on someone damaging a car.

Ok what makes drivers unsafe and unaccountable?

If I’m crossing the street and get mowed down in a hit and run, the car’s dash cam footage probably won’t be found.

I live in a place with a lot of traffic violence, and there’s negligible enforcement. I’m looking for a practical way to keep drivers accountable and reduce the violence.

I think cameras on the intersections have to be part of that strategy. I’m inclined to believe a responsible implementation is possible, and I’d like to see more discussion of what that could look like.

Are there any implementations of camera based traffic safety networks that are actually kind of good, in terms of privacy, responsible data handling, and effectiveness?

What font is used in the “DEMAND A NEW NORMAL” banner?

I don’t know how they picked the name for this new terminal, maybe it’s a reference.

It is very good, and I am currently using it. I don’t like its dependencies on GTK stuff, the developer is a little picky about what to support, and I dislike the +options style. Other than that, 👍 .

Also great: Wezterm, Konsole, Rio. I’m excitedly following Rio’s development, which has a much smaller dependency list, and hopping back and forth between it and Ghostty/Wezterm. But it’s still got some things to iron out and features to develop.

It’s been a while, but my clumsy adding of a comment to the buffer is unnecessary, given zle -M, which will display a message outside of the buffer. So here’s an updated version:

# -- Run input if single line, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-except-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER != *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle .accept-line
    return
  } else {
    zle .self-insert-unmeta
    zle -M 'Use alt+enter to submit this multiline input'
  }
}
zle -N       .zle_accept-except-multiline
bindkey '^M' .zle_accept-except-multiline  # Enter

# -- Run input if multiline, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: alt+enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-only-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle .accept-line
  } else {
    zle .self-insert-unmeta
  }
}
zle -N         .zle_accept-only-multiline
bindkey '^[^M' .zle_accept-only-multiline  # Enter

Slow and dumb gets it done! I may revisit this when I give up on future days.
