Met him without knowing who this person was when proposing a decentralized anti-virus platform, he cared and helped a lot. Besides teaching, Dave never stopped learning. Quite a good role model for everyone here.

From a first read, the memory folder should also go into .gitignore by default

Good catch. I agree the safe default is to ignore memory/ since it can contain personal notes, people context, and daily logs. I’m updating the installer to add memory/ to .gitignore by default (along with CLAUDE.local.md and .claude/settings.local.json).

For teams that do want shared context, I’ll document a “team mode” gitignore pattern that commits only selected registers (e.g. decisions/projects) while keeping daily logs + preferences/people local.

Thanks, thinking again it was indeed safer to keep as hidden by default.

I've been using it since yesterday, it is doing it work as intended without getting in the way. So far, works great.

great to hear! lmk if you have any feedback

Office 97 was fantastic and the one that followed in 2000 was peak Microsoft quality all the way up to the 2003 edition.

Still remember it was possible to perfectly mimick existing documents that had long stopped being printed with such a quality in replication.

The introduction of ribbons was a cruel mistake. It gets harder and harder to know where anything is located nowadays because ribbons hide options too often.

Thank you for sharing, will soon try out. Does it support decompilation of android binaries?

Doesn't make sense until everything else on earth is unusable.

Things in space will look far better then.

Or maybe the next big OS leap is decentralization along with data sovereignity. Each person being their own server without so many dependencies to clouds and huge processing/database power inside their own pockets.

I have difficulty to see that, as it requires proper packaging and distribution for mainstream adoption.

Plus the average user doesn't care about data sovereignty, what they care about is UX and dopamine.

How many users you know of that are concerned with data collection by big tech? How much does that account for percent wise?

From that perspective the operating system are a few apps on the browser since that is that users see and get their dopamine rush.

In my opinion users won't choose a future where sovereignity matters. It is a future forced upon them, because they will simply pick whatever methods are still available for communicating.

We used to see this only in a few edge countries like NK and Cuba. Now it is becoming the norm on Russia, Iran, China, Japan and more recently even Europe if you follow the most recent developments. What was once an open garden is becoming quite fenced.

That "Android-like" is based on LVGL which is a brilliant GUI framework for ESP32 (not invented for this project) when you consider the low capacities of the hardware and how efficiently it pulls the animations.

If Android had such GUI, it would be a heck lot faster and drink less energy.

Thank you for sharing.

Embedded I doubt there is need since that would mean ESP32 and the like.

A memory card has 32GB of storage, I like smaller binaries but there is plenty of storage space.

The water is reutilized, a big reason is the difficuty to filter new incoming water because of impurities and uncertainty about quality (e.g. winter times make the river water very muddy and difficult to filter).

Second because is because adding water is a cost, whereas reuse existing water is simpler and saves money. There are always losses of water, however these are neglectible.

Not mentioned here but for more extreme cases of devices cooling is done with distilled water (zero minerals) and the whole device works submerged under this water, the hot water isn't thrown away because it distilled water takes a lot of effort to remove the minerals and effort to keep them out, so the closed loop is very efficient.
