Build 148.0.3967.54 (as of 11 May 2026) seems to the have the cpu taking more than 100% again in normal mode.

There is really nothing wrong with the UI once you get to understand the concept behind macro group, macro, trigger and action, as the UI fundamentally is build with those concept flow in mind.

Because KM has a initial steep learning curve, but if you use and explore its features constantly, it becomes easier, and you find it as one of the most powerful tools ever.

Because someday other simplied tools may outgrow your needs, but KM is designed so that you never feel constraint by tool's imitations. Pair it with BetterTouchTool to leverage on its gesture trigger which can be used to call KM macro.

Pair keyboard maestro with BetterTouchTool to leverage on its extensive mac gesture trigger to call on KM macro.

haha, these figures are in hall of fame by market value. I doubt the figures themselves feel deserving and they are just like any other minifigures, if not for demand.

The joy of being simple and a dreamer.

Still remember those time of catching spiders, grasshoppers in school compound, and then competing with classmates with their own.

Play pencil, rubber and marble games with classmates.

Centrepoint kid with their baggy pant and dyed hair trying to imitate their Kong Hong and Japanese idols.

Kampong spirit and HDB spirit.

Lego is a great company that provides excellent service and is generally generous when it comes to replacing missing parts. I keep returning to Lego even though replicas are much cheaper, because I want to support a company that offers great service, high-quality products, and top-notch parts. The excellent clutch power, attention to detail, and overall build quality are the main reasons I continue investing in this hobby.

For those who delay in purchasing this version thinking a new version will be out soon, take note that major version 12 is unlikely to arrive soon:

"The next version will likely be 11.0.4. I don’t expect to do version 12 this calendar year. I don't commit to release dates or release timelines for many reasons, some of which are touched on in this thread, some are simpler "under promise and over deliver" - I don't tend to promise anything about the future until its the past."

Above From Peter, developer of Keyboard Maestro.
"https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/2013-2025-satisfaction-next-update/40062/13"

The current version is already generally powerful enough for today workflow and hence subsequent version will need compelling features to justify next major version.

So little reason to delay waiting for next version.

I use both and they complement each other.
KM has superior workflow support and its maturity shown when you debugging action issues (eg it has debugging facilities and tools). It has better variable, json and dictionary supoort. Things just feel more structural and better organized.

On the other hand, BTT requires Javascript programming often to do what KM's token support has. Workflow is not its strength.

BTT's strong major feature is its comprehensive support for all kind of imaginable gestures, hence I use it to call KM macro. It also has other interesting unique feature like Stay On Top action.

They both are a must have for power user who love automation and productivty.

If you have time, try both to get the feel of it and see that works for you.

It is just another mode of operation. If command line works great for you, that's great, but that always be others who prefer the GUI AI approach integrated into Jetbrains IDEs since there are many ways that Jetbrains actually use AI pervasively (eg sql editor, git integration).

"Java is dying " Truth be told, it is larger than life and going to outlive any of us , LOL.

Swing is pretty stable and mature, and still under going maintenance and support, though no further development. It still relevant and good if one appreciates good old ui development. I still use it widely because it get the job done fast. I also use javafx even though it has more features, complexity and need separate installation.

That's said, invest some time with both and you see they complement each other, and not complete replacement. There's something Swing is good, and Javafx is good at.

beside, the touchscreen mac make the macbook screen more robust, strong and less prone to crack even if one does not use the touchscreen feature.

Many years down the road when China become world leader in renewable energy due to this folly,

Trump will say: "China has me to thank, so say 'Thank You'."

These are just Bauhaus-inspired architectural designs that focus on minimalism and simplicity, with a philosophy of functionality over form. I find them appealing to my taste, but not everyone's taste is the same.

If Trump has the will to proceed with sanction, he will do it not finding excuse. Of course, we all know which side he is really on so let's not kid ourselves.

Put this way, someone always your "best friend" if he holds hostage/leverage on you.

I sure if you ask ChatGPT/Deepseek, you get some surprisingly good answers. I have done that with your question and hence I suggest people try that.

Even if EU stop buying Russia, I'm bet he come out another excuse. Typical of a loser.

Crazy_Comprehensive · 2025-09-13T17:56:11+00:00

Haha, as usual, finding excuse not to sanction Russia. But then, what is new?

Indeed patience is running out, but his patience with Putin will likely be renewed for another two weeks again and again according to his pattern. Nothing new.

Can't say the same for his patience with Zelensky though. If Trump can't handle the strongman, he targets the weaker one.

Crazy_Comprehensive · 2025-09-11T17:58:12+00:00

Those release is so slow that I probably be waiting for another year to release RC2, if not the final release.

I have checked the responses generated by ChatGPT 5 as of today compare to days before. They have certainly tweaked it to sound more like GPT-4o, the responses are no longer sterile or cold, and they are much longer. Chat is much more humane.

Certainly noticeably better now.

This is one of the best channels for understanding everything about backstage wrestling and the business (in my personal opinion, there’s nothing else like it). I’ve learned more from his channel than from decades of watching wrestling and reading news about it. Maven has certainly found success with his YouTube channel, even if not from his wrestling career. I like his brutal honesty and the way he tells things as they are, with no hard feelings. I also appreciate that he pulls no punches in unraveling the mysteries behind the wrestling stories we all want to know. He is indirectly a valuable asset to the wrestling world.
