While agents act on behalf of the user, they won't see nor click any ads; they won't sign-up to any newsletter; they won't buy the website owner a coffee. They don't act as humans just because humans triggered them. They simply take what they need and walk away.

Why would you need to share this? Isn't it an individual developer's preferences?
If it is, there's no reason to share it. If there are some org wide prefs needed to be "enforced", then there is a reason.
To save others like me having to look this up, this is part of a prompt for an LLM. I assume it's prepended to the developer's "questions".
At first I thought this was directed at people. I really dislike that you can't tell it's not meant for people, unless you happen to know what "cursor rules" is.
My question is, why is this included as part of a code repo? Wouldn't this be like me including my Emacs config in every repo I touch?
If your emacs config is (1) specific for each repo and (2) needs to be shared with other developers, it makes sense to add it to the repo.

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". This is so depressing to read from one of the most influencial leaders in the world. I think empathy is a basic condition for a healthy society, and it lifts the average of human happiness.

OK I have to say I have never thought about what should happen if you try to select a sequence of text that mixes rtl and ltr languages. It's deeply in my mental zone of "undefined behavior, I don't even have an intuition about what to do."
One of the more fun programming projects I ever worked on was a custom text editor. Mainly it supported rich annotations that could be applied to any chosen term or stretch of text. It used Mobiledoc[1] which already provided pretty well-developed primitives for rich text editing on the web, and it was still a complicated project, even with a solid framework.
I tried to write "Hello" on the demo page on my mobile phone, but it rendered "elloH". After hitting the H, the caret went back to the start of the line and then acted normal (stayed after each of the other letters).

The screenshot on your homepage looks very similar to plausible's https://plausible.io/ which is also open-source analytics software. Is it based on it? What are the differences?
Edit: Just noticed the feature comparison in the readme.
This seems a lot like jless, which I've used a _lot_ for exploring complex json files. https://jless.io/
Can you explain a little what are the similarities you found?

Nice! I'm using AnyDesk for both desktop and phone, and then can completely control my computer from my phone, not only vs code. Also for watching long processes.
You said that you couldn't find one, so MakerKit.dev has dev/prod envs, and many more features.
But, if enough people used it around certain areas, it could be a lot of fun & very helpful just to chit chat & talk about the weather & etc.

EDIT I can't accept the terms on my Samsung phone, as the text is over top of the buttons and I can't do anything but scroll the terms. Not sure if this is a browser (Brave) problem or a font size or what.
