  • In support is that, I’d point to

    As you keep navigating through the hamburger menu, one thing you will notice is that, unlike on the default GNOME terminal, there is no graphical Settings menu to speak of here. The reason for that is that Ghostty is so customizable that it would have been pretty much impossible to provide a practical GUI to expose all its configuration options: you need the full expressivity of a configuration file for that.

    as making a virtue out of a lack. I really don’t buy that “impossible” line. It was just too much work or work they during want to do.



  • I do get the thing of being stuck on the association of something with pleasure or such, despite knowing from repeated experience that it doesn’t actually work out that way. All I can say is keep reminding yourself of this.

    The other suggestion I have is to try to find some other special beverage with which you can cultivate a special association.

    It may be tricky to find the right sweet spot. It can’t be something too expensive, since it sounds like that will stop you buying it, but it can’t be so trivial that you just drink it all the time and it then fails to function as a substitute special treat. Possibly the effort of making it could imbue it with specialness. Kombucha is possibly a thing like that you could make.
















  • I don’t classify ideas in my head into those two categories like that. They are all beliefs. I have a sense of how confident I am of each idea. Like how surprised I would be if they were proved wrong. And I try to maintain awareness of why I have that confidence, like other beliefs that support it, evidence, etc.

    That’s imperfect, like I can’t claim that there aren’t ideas that, if challenged, I’d think about what my supporting evidence is and come up with bupkis. Anything is up for doubt and reevaluation.

    I feel pretty strongly that this is the right approach, and that people failing to have a similar approach is a serious problem in the world.
