Battery Life No
"I know any comparison between Macs and PCs is moot for most. But for those fed up with Apple in general, macOS Tahoe in particular, or just want to try a whole new way of computing with Omarchy, it's fantastic that battery life is no longer a blocker." https://t.co/kI5vKcS4hh
Aliens Reigns as Ultimate 80s Action Sci‑fi Masterpiece
Aliens is the greatest action sci-fi of all time, and Weaver was the perfect bad-ass heroine without being an insufferable do-it-all, know-it-all girlboss figurine. The 1980s really got almost everything right. https://t.co/K3cv4BVEIr
Tesla Registrations Surge 96‑178% in Scandinavia After Dip
"In Norway, Sweden and Denmark, Tesla registrations were up by 178%, 144% and 96%." I remember all the grandstanding in DK about how Tesla was irreversibly damaged by Elon because sales dipped for a second. Turns out most were just...
Marry Early, Raise Kids Together for Greater Happiness

Linux Revives Old PCs, Making 2012 CPUs Feel Fast

Panther Lake Revives Intel on Laptops, Fulfilling G
Panther Lake is a real turning point for Intel. I've been on AMD since switching to Linux, but with 18A delivering Gelsinger's dream from 2021, it's a privilege to run blue again on the laptop side. And Intel working directly...

Danes Revel in Noma Founder Scandal, Media Glee
There's nothing the Danes love more than a good fall-from-grace story, so now that Noma's founder has been speared on decade-old accusations, the sanctimonious journalists at Politiken can hardly contain their glee and excitement. Yuck. https://t.co/01Bx0fKkHJ
Nuphy Air V3 Rivals Lofree Flow84 in Feel and Sound
My main keyboard remains the Lofree Flow84 (V1, not V2), but I must admit that the Nuphy Air V3 comes awfully close on feel, and arguably sounds a little bit better. Here's a sound test. https://t.co/qrrrq5zfoS
Kimi K2.5 Delivers 200 TPS for Everyday Tasks
Kimi K2.5 continues to be my daily driver for all the basic stuff where I don't need PhD-level intelligence. I just need it done quickly. Running it at 200 tps through @FireworksAI_HQ within @opencode is just such a delight. https://t.co/ukQIG7DmfG
Omarchy’s Default Themes Shine, Community Adds Countless Extras

Built Rails Infrastructure for Per‑Customer SQLite, Even When Plans Shifted
The original plan for Fizzy was to ship the SaaS version with one sqlite database per customer. That didn't end up happening, but we built all the Rails infrastructure needed to make it possible. Mike goes through it all here:...
Basecamp Upgrades to Fully Compliant OAuth 2.0 Implementation
Basecamp has long supported OAuth, but our implementation was based on the (now ancient) pre-release spec, and it required hoops for modern clients. We've updated it to be fully compliant with OAuth 2.0 now. https://t.co/ixQWa4GmTH
Strong Docs Drive Success: Updating Omarchy Manual
The early success of Rails was assisted heavily by having solid documentation out of the gate. So I'm trying my best to do the same for Omarchy. Constantly improving and updating the manual. https://t.co/9tL5fdZ0T9
Anthropic's Provider Lockdown Seen As Customer Hostility
I love the models Anthropic are offering, but I seriously hope it's a mistake that they're blocking alternative harness providers, like @opencode, from working with their subscriptions. Seems very customer hostile. https://t.co/afxEQ0XTFb

GLM 4.7 Auto‑fixes Rails Test, Saves Time
Good example of GLM 4.7 just one-shotting a fix for Rails PR to wrap it up while I was doing something else. All I fed it was the failing test from CI. Nothing groundbreaking, just time saved. https://t.co/E3ueHDW8AL https://t.co/7gje1UloFq
AI Code Models Deliver Undeniable Speed‑ups on Rails, Basecamp
Opus, Gemini 3, and MiniMax M2.1 are the first models I've thrown at major code bases like Rails and Basecamp where I've been genuinely impressed. By no means perfect, and you couldn't just let them vibe, but the speed-up is...

Microservices Undermine Small Teams’ Shared Context
Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of...

Local LLMs Are How Nerds Now Justify a Big Computer They Don't Need
