    >> Iterm2’s remote tmux integration is a killer feature

    But then i need to give up nested tmux on remotes https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/main/dotfiles/... - it's super convenient to have tmux nested remotely for organising work and locally for broadcasting or just convenient context switching. Even when i was an iTerm2 user, i felt vanilla tmux was just way more comfortable (copy paste buffer for example)

    > iTerm 3.5.1 removes automatic OpenAI integration, requires opt-in

    This is an editorialized title. It was opt-in from the very beginning. Here's all the steps that was originally required:

    1. Open settings, go to the General tab, click on the AI button.

    2. Enter a paid API key

    3. Close the settings

    4. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar, and click on "Codecierge"

    5. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar again, and click "Show toolbelt"

    6. In the toolbelt, there's a textbox that you can type questions into. The textbox won't be shown if you didn't enter an API key. Only after submitting the question will the OpenAI integration be activated.

    https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/a3122c0100d8900a15cb...

    The initial implementation already took many many clicks to run. I literally had to do nothing to not use the feature and not once was I reminded about the feature after I chose to ignore it.

    Despite that, people were spreading rumors that entering an invalid API key would instantly cause iTerm to send all data to OpenAI. It's a straight up lie started by people who actually tested the feature and posted their findings the GitLab thread about this feature.

    People in the GitLab thread were calling for dogpiles and fantasizing about inflicting violence on Mastodon. Towards the sole maintainer of a popular free and open source software developed in his spare time.
