Oh man I end up relating to this comic quite a bit.

With Ghotty (ghostty.org) finally releasing, I can now have separate themes for both light and dark mode. But this is also a problem now since my shell and neovim do not support changing theme based on system theme which was fine up until now as all three were using the same theme.

This is the reason I decided to pay for a search engine and use @kagi.com. There was an immediate improvement in my productivity post moving to Kagi. Now the only time I find myself back on Google search is whenever I need to use Maps

Started Advent of Code. Going to use it for learning Go, which was a language I’ve been meaning to learn. This is as good as an opportunity to do that.
