next time doom please :)

I've actually thought about rendering DOOM on the favicon. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible. Maybe @Franciscouzo could tackle that challenge! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45408825

I am pretty sure this already exists.

I don't know if it's something only I "perceive," but as a 50-year-old who started learning to use computers from the command line, using Claude Code's CLI mode gives me a unique sense of satisfaction.

impressive how, in 2025, thunderbird is still the best email client on osx

That’s not been my experience, but everybody’s needs are different I suppose.

What do you use?

[cosmic_cheese → abhinavk]

Apple Mail. It covers the bases, doesn’t try to cram too much into a single app, and doesn’t lean into badly aging UI trends.

I’ve tried Thunderbird a few times over the years (including post-redesign) and it’s always felt clunky and kinda awkward. Firefox somewhat outgrew that but Thunderbird never did.

If I were to use something else, it’d probably be MailMate which is a lot like Apple Mail but with even fewer frills and more optimization.
