Oct 01 Crazy we got near-flawless AI musicians before we got fully-competent AI programmers. https://t.co/VLmDA2uYeN 807 30 93 87.9k 109 .
Oct 01 I finally got the Lofree Flow84 v2. It's nice, but very different. Feels like a new model line, not a v2 of the GOAT. Keys are much softer, different shape, etc. It's sweet to have 2.4ghz, but I'm not sure I'll keep it over the v1. Hard to beat your own perfection! https://t.co/5pHOpQJmrx 998 15 105 101.1k 289 .
Oct 01 When I politely decline scheduling a "quick call", it's not because I don't literally have the time β€” there's always room for 15 minutes here or half an hour there! β€” it's that I can't afford to spare the attention. https://t.co/8Kf4A1JPQU 3.9k 286 100 386.3k 239 .
Sep 30 If anyone tries to give you shit about sticking with master, just point to these and father Linus himself. Not only creator of git, but also Linux. It's only in their little heads these nut jobs have convinced themselves that "master" is a mortal crime for which you must atone. https://t.co/3ysNubkMyZ 953 23 35 43.5k 302 .
Sep 30 Oh no!! The fascism and nazism and all the other *isms have also gotten to nix! How could this possibly be happen!? After we've put in such valiant work to shame and berate everyone else for their use of master, we missed Rust AND nix?? That's it, circular firing squad at 8am! https://t.co/phylOt6r3e 1.1k 14 13 100.1k 301 .
Sep 30 Has anyone called the Rust folks out for their BLATANT fascism yet??? Have they been properly de-nazified??? We better send in a struggle-session team to make sure they all understand what a terrible, terrible crime they've committed here! 3.5k 106 137 277.1k 240 .
Sep 30 If you've somehow managed to miss the Square Hole Girl, it's the iconic representation of any product maker seeing their creation being used in the wild without instruction πŸ˜‚ https://t.co/Mt7dpyCOyj 203 4 5 35.7k 198 .
Sep 30 It was really fun watching Bog install and use Omarchy. I felt like the square hole girl squirming several times, though. Got some good ideas for making things simpler, however. Thanks Bog! https://t.co/XL6sue2i2O 826 12 15 79.6k 213 .
Sep 30 If you can't run your application test suite in three minutes or less, your business damn well better be worth a billion dollars or more. Otherwise it's time for fewer browser tests, fully txn-wrapped test cases, and local CI on Linux! 1.4k 51 58 315.1k 235 .
Sep 30 What a great example of why its worth rescuing perfectly capable hardware from manufacturers who lose interest in serving their heritage. Computers from the 2010s are still perfectly powerful for tons of tasks! https://t.co/ORJE0ZxsyN 121 2 7 29.5k 234 .
Sep 30 Gotta love Linux! Omarchy runs not only on vintage Macs, but also on handheld gaming machines. Love this work to get all the controls work too 😍 510 19 18 46.6k 144 .
Sep 30 Git worktrees pair beautifully with Local CI: Just `git worktree add ../hey-next` before running the suite, then for the minute or two it's running, you'll start on the next job in the new worktree. Unless your suite is enormous or poorly written, you'll be done in no time. 452 15 17 45.9k 274 .
Sep 30 Omarchy 3.0.2 includes even more fixes for vintage Intel Apple machines! Our mission is to cover the entire range of useful vintage gear, so it can have a second life with Omarchy after Apple abandoned it. Much of what would be a dog on macOS does great with Linux. 773 31 52 63k 265 .
Sep 30 The Ladybird browser also runs on master, so of course that means Andreas is in favor of slavery!! "The hyperbole of the deranged" is an excellent term for this utter nonsense. https://t.co/3msFbx9I5y 946 28 30 71.8k 200 .
Sep 30 No wonder it's been hard for them to dig out of the AI hole when Cook's own timid authority can be overruled by his accountants! Even with all that cash, they still got caught by Jobs' worst fear: An inability to invest when needed. 864 11 27 41.5k 232 .
Sep 30 Fascinating anecdote from Apple's AI mess: In 2023, their team asked to double their puny GPU count (then <5% of Google), got an OK from Cook, but had the request denied by the finance department. Same year, finance spent $77B on stock buybacks!! https://t.co/GB0FXSLria 1.9k 97 75 240.6k 273 .
Sep 30 Not just a Nazi, also a white supremacist! Give it five minutes, and I'm sure we'll collect a charge of FASCISM too. These people are deranged, but you no longer have to take their histrionics seriously. Long gone are the days where your job in tech depended on playing along. https://t.co/V2GTUOMOz1 1.9k 32 66 67.1k 300 .

Sep 27 From what I understand, Anduril are big users of nix. Maybe @PalmerLuckey can help turn the ship around. It's amazing what a stabilizing force it can be to have the companies with a commercial interest in using OSS help support good governance. 561 9 11 48.4k 244 .
Sep 27 I really hope the nix community can recover from this infiltration of nut jobs and their nonsense, like we have in the Ruby world. There are so many good ideas over there that deserve so much better. 2.3k 106 74 127k 199 .
Sep 27 This is the best kind of father-son construction kit! My kids always love when we open up a Framework. That "woooow" is the best. 726 23 13 81k 129 .
Sep 27 At one point, I thought we were all doomed to suffer the woke theocracy for decades in tech, but then suddenly it was over. There are niche pockets here and there (hello nix!), but the hegemony has ended. What a relief! Now "no, we are not doing that" is again a viable way. 3.3k 152 110 171.8k 274 .

Sep 26 Negative visualization is one of the most powerful techniques for building mental resilience. The Stoics figured that out two millennia ago.

Sep 26 That doesn't mean indulging more trojan horseshit. It doesn't mean letting down your guard. But it means accepting that most people will swim with the tide, and offering them a safe harbor of redemption is how we save their souls and close the rift. 1.7k 22 39 58.4k 249 .
Sep 26 Now that the wheels have fallen off the woke regime in tech, we'd be smart to offer amnesty to those who got caught up in it. Be the counter force to the purity purges that plague that side. Accept earnest apologies, embrace the fallen, and forgive those who trespass against us. 5.6k 261 267 371.3k 279 .
Sep 26 Hey @jetbrains, you don't have to do this nonsense any more. I fully understand why companies felt cowed into these humiliations, but the woke regime has fallen, so you can stop performing its rites. 5.8k 307 205 362.3k 199 .
Sep 26 Watching the Omarchy community reject the tired trojan CoC horse of these insufferable and intolerant nut jobs before I even get to see the issue is 😍 https://t.co/YNJ1Gn85C2 2.2k 69 99 85.5k 174 .

Sep 26 The contributor covenant, and other CoCs like it, turned out to be a trojan horse. Every open source project would do right to reject or revert it.

Sep 22 Omarchy here, there, and everywhere! What I love about all this excitement is how broadly accessible it is. Even 15-year old laptops can run Omarchy. Super cheap mini PCs. Fantastic Frameworks. Everyone has access to the party πŸ₯³ 1.6k 29 45 106.3k 228 .
Sep 22 Cookie banners have been a blight on the internet. Worse than the old scourge of pop-up advertisements! They need to die entirely. The idea has failed. Nobody reads any of it.

Sep 22 This bit helped flip for me when I heard David Foster Wallace's critique of postmodernism and its use of moral relativism, cynicism, and ultimately nihilism. It's a dead end. We need to get back to earnest, sincere values, and grand narratives. https://t.co/i7CrYYTYxw 821 40 23 128.9k 268 .

Sep 22 That was the goal! Not just easier, but way, way faster too. Linux has a learning curve, but it should be dedicated to becoming a pro with Neovim, tiling window management, and all the glorious tools. Not getting it installed or doing a baseline config. 2.2k 74 59 206k 253 .
Sep 21 The small-file performance is key to a lot of this. The Linux filesystem has just been optimized much better for this, and it's something so many dev workflows depend on. https://t.co/8BlvGObynv 211 4 8 52k 195 .
Sep 21 I've been truly shocked by how good mini PCs have gotten, and how much faster than even the most expensive Apple gear they can be. Linux is incredibly quick and efficient at so many things devs do all the time. 1.8k 43 62 172k 210 .
Sep 20 The challenge to those of us in tech who just want to make great software is not to stare too deeply into the abyss of Bluesky and its radical, violence-condoning nut jobs. The mimetic cycle draws you in all too easily. Have your guards up, yes, but then get back to building! 1.8k 72 81 102k 276 .
Sep 20 'β€œThey’re dragging your ass on Bluesky” is a statement that strikes fear into the heart of practically no one.

Sep 20 It's also deeply ironic that this wave of celebrating political violence was brought in with the wind from codes of conduct. Orwellian doublespeak that sought to redefine "inclusive" as exclusion and "kindness" as cruelty. Enough with that nonsense. 484 16 12 30.2k 249 .
Sep 20 This makes it all the more important that we don't let open source be defined by these violence-loving nut jobs. And work on alternatives that route around the ideologically-damaged choke points. I'm happy to do exactly that every day. 579 19 15 38.1k 235 .
Sep 20 As someone who been called a "Nazi" and a "fascist" endless times for the most banal, mainstream positions, I'm still shocked to hear about the direct threats that Lunduke and others have encountered. Completely unacceptable, dangerous, and deranged. 1.7k 92 58 122.5k 250 .

Sep 18 We got a full guide on how to install Omarchy on vintage Intel MacBooks. There are still a couple of caveats, and you have to turn off secure boot, but overall it's very functional, and far better than being scrap metal after Apple abandoned them. https://t.co/VKYtF5nnMs 534 31 35 49.3k 271 .
Sep 18 Kinda amazing that Omarchy installs quicker on a 2010 MacBook than macOS 26 does on a 2025 M4 Max πŸ˜‚. But either way, I love seeing old machines brought back to usefulness after their maker has abandoned them. 448 15 19 47.8k 208 .
