Omarchy Quattro will automatically detect if you're using Claude or Codex subscriptions, and then make an agent panel available to track limits and usage.
Omarchy Quattro's network panel now has a built-in option to share the current wifi using a QR code thanks to @tobi. Just little Linux things we pass the time with while at the track together 😄

It's funny because I always feel like I'm just saying the same things. But that's how persuasion works! Repetition! Also, always remember that someone will be encountering your thoughts for the first time every day.

This mashup from my episode with @dhh is awesome and hilarious and hopefully convinces you to watch the whole thing. It’s on pace to be the most popular episode so far:
There's now an agent skill set available for dealing with this CVE. Helps you determine whether you were ever exposed to this issue, and making sure you're properly patched. Great use of AI!

You need to upgrade your Rails application right away if you're using Active Storage to store files and allow uploads from untrusted users. The underlying libvips used for image processing has a severe security issue. Great work by @flavorjones to lead the response on this.

Europe should double down on comparative advantage: German cars, Spanish tapas, Polish borders.
This is what defending a border looks like. Poland knows how. Other European countries should take notes.
You can understand why @nayibbukele started with a sweeping reform of the courts and still enjoys 94% support in El Salvador.
The transfer of enthusiasm strikes again! I can't wait for Quattro to be ready, so we can get a whole new wave on board this beautiful, malleable operating system.
I listen to one podcast in the last like 2 years and now I have Omarchy running on an old MacBook Pro I had sitting in a drawer.
The second question is always: How do you deal with the glare!? Don't you have to keep the blinds down all day? And the answer is no, thanks to 3M and SCIENCE! Incredible technology.

A picture of @DHH's desk goes viral every few months, and he says the number one comment he always gets is that it can't be a real office because it’s too clean.
His response:
"If I have shit all over my desk, I'm not creating work, because my mind will just go to the shit."
“It's a bit like that Marie Kondo thing where you go through simplifying your home and throwing out all this stuff. It actually creates free mental space.”
“I need this pure cocoon.”
“It's actually a form of procrastination, and I need to run out of obvious things to procrastinate on before I'll start the real work.”

Been using this three-way combo a lot lately. Great way to control a whole fleet of machines too. Every server is a tab, very easy to hop between them. Really well done.
Termius + Tailscale + tmux
You don't need your laptop to build with Claude Code, Codex, or any other AI coding agent:
→ Run your agent inside tmux to keep the session alive
→ Use @Tailscale for secure access to your laptop
→ Connect with Termius over SSH from iPhone, iPad, or Android
Start coding at your desk. Continue on the go.

I've found it incredibly useful to have Opus 5 check the work of Sol or vice versa. Interesting to see the prompt that Sol here uses with Opus!
Using Basecamp to coordinate with agents makes the work visible to the whole team. Great for letting your most AI-forward developers show the rest of the team just how deep the rabbit hole goes. That's what @jorgemanru is doing wiht Marie Chef 👌

Agent Marie has been busy in our Basecamp today. Adding cards, commenting on replies, writing up reports, digging into stubborn issues, fixing bugs, preparing PRs.
Everything posted right to Basecamp, just as if Marie was a human, so other humans (and agents) can follow along and get involved.
No special AI features in Basecamp, no AI-is-always-in-the-way overload. Just invite your own agents in, point them at the Basecamp CLI, and they'll get to work just like your own human crew.

Europe and Russia finally found common ground: Prosecuting the purveyors of free speech.
JUST IN: 🇷🇺 Russia charges Telegram founder & CEO Pavel Durov with "facilitating terrorism."
An international arrest warrant has been issued.
Using AI to convert TypeScript into JavaScript is a great idea. We did it by hand for Turbo, but didn't get around to finish the job with Stimulus. Great idea, Notch!
Oh god, is this how it starts?
I'm already coming up with use cases, such as converting all my typescript into javascript. Sure, claude, let's see what you got!
Can I still make fun of vibe coders if I become one?

Standing by our principles back in 2021, and not caving to the woke mob, remains one of the proudest achievements in my career. And you don't forget the (very) few who came forward to help. Thank you again, @pmarca (and @tobi and @patrickc) 🙏

I've been living with the new XPS 13 for a few weeks now. This has to be the best deal in computing! It's got my favorite keyboard on any laptop, great screen, solid 18A chip, and it costs just $699?! HOW? I keep looking for the catch.

20 years ago: "I have a deep sense of responsibility for the productivity of the world. There’s so much to do that I’ll be damned if we’re not doing it the best way possible. And now I found a way. Or at least part of one. I’d be ashamed of myself if I weren’t trying to share."

"The circle of the saeculum is both a prophecy and a roadmap. We're not supposed to live like this forever: weak, ineffectual. This too shall pass. We just have to make it out of the current Crisis alive."

The narcissism of the net zero nonsense is on the chart! Committing economic harakiri for a pitiful 0.1C reduction. I'd call it pathetic, but the truth is that it's pathological.
Rich World Net Zero has a tiny impact
Even if the US, EU, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the rest of the rich world go Net Zero by 2050
it will only reduce global temperatures by 0.10°C (0.18°F) in 2100
Still, it will cost $100s of trillions

Fun (and functional!) new BC5 feature we just added to Card Tables today. We're calling it Wormholes. Here's how it works in a quick, casual 90 sec video.
