> One note here is that along the way, the poster has acquired extra text (“A day of music making and family fun”) – it’s decided that Designers Republic would have thrown in some text of that kind, so it’s come up with some words. Those words are now in the chat context, so they appear in subsequent posters.

This is very important for programming and I don’t think enough people are cognizant of it

Worth noting the 2:1 match is only for recurring donations. The graphic does not mention that

> When you start a recurring donation of $25 or more in September, your initial gift will be matched 2:1.

I got GIMP running natively on my iPad, and am now working towards VS Code and a few other useful *nix apps

I (and Claude, codex, etc) have compiled/ran wayland, X11, GNOME, KDE, and Ladybird natively on a jailbroken iPad. Hoping to release more details soon but I have a slop wiki here:

It's a major rewrite of the slack plugin, with far more functionality and more capabilities. More surfaces will be available in the future

Every channel has its own Claude, and Claude's access is configurable per-channel and per-workspace. Private channels don't leak information to other channels

All credit to the original author. I just had to think of analogues.

This is one reason I think openai releasing a phone makes sense

If they can build an integrated AI assistant (what Siri should be) that can spin up and call agents it will be big (or it will flop but my money is on big if it’s the easiest way to use agents in your daily life)

No, I have a bunch of PRs up and some already merged

We’re aiming for a minimal maintenance release soon, then a larger feature release after.

I’ve been working on modernizing https://thelounge.chat, a self-hostable web based IRC client

Modernizing in two ways: migrating to new JS tooling (webpack -> vite, Node’s built in sqlite, etc) and adopting ircv3 features like emoji reactions, threaded replies, and typing indicators. Trying to bring IRC into the 21st century.

Its easy to contribute to and we have an active irc channel (perks of building an always-on client…) - feel free to join us! #thelounge on irc.libera.chat

Check out the bundle / CPU savings by leaving webpack: https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge/pull/5064

Eh, we’re approaching that world (I am "an AI maximalist", I guess)

But someone with the knowledge to guide an AI will have more success than someone without, at least today. I don’t think that will necessarily be true in a year or two.

Short term: they don’t need devs to build it, it’s already built

Long term: they now have experienced dev(s?) to build their next products and features

I think they key thing here is they "isolated the relevant code"

If the exploits exist in e.g. one file, great. But many complex zerodays and exploits are chains of various bugs/behaviors in complex systems.

Important research but I don’t think it dispels anything about Mythos
