Why would you let the llm use the CLI as you?
Totally fair, I still use Claude code for tasks since it is so polished. I think I just dont have that complicated of use cases so in the end performance should reflect my lightweight needs as the priority.
I completely agree. I started with aichat[0] before the current agent trend and hit all kinds of bumps implementing agentic loops on my own. Then goose[1] showed me what a whole team working toward the same idea could do right before the official Claude Code harness which had all the bells and whistles. Now I know better what I want and its mostly less ram usage and a small set of primitives.
I still use Claude code (and codex and other big contenders) because they know what they are doing and innovate in ways I don't want to miss. And sometimes they are better at tasks.

Hermes is huge and packed with features you probably don't need. I prefer smaller one I can extend as necessary, there are so many on github now and it is fun to test them but have been impressed with dirge (https://github.com/dirge-code/dirge) not affiliated.
I have one reading my second tier RSS feeds and newsletters and giving me news/market updates filtered for things important to me

more developed countries are already prepared for what you describe: people would (continue to) take public transit, and rich people would (continue to) pay for the unemployed to live and retrain until they get new jobs. If a country was missing these basic features it would be scarier.

Climate change made the forests drier so the effects of arson are worse.

The climate change part is the heat making the forests more dry so the manmade fires get bigger.

small correction: only individual contributions are meaningful. If I consume less and you consume less and many other individuals consume less there simply won't be as much demand for fossil fuels.
The only way I can understand your premise of helplessness is that it provides a convenient excuse for you not to do anything to help. Do you think companies will keep burning fuel at the exact same rate if a billion individuals dont incentivize them to?

Multiplexer works without any WM installed, which is nice.

A Multiplexer let's you run multiple terminals in one window, this is a new one. WindowsOS does not get as nice of tools as Linux generally.

Is this so different in the end than industrial revolution? I assume the loom and the automobile factory were not open source, but many people bought cars and then copied them, bought looms and copied them. Maybe a finished car is more like a binaryexecutable than a blueprint, but how a car was produced is much less obfuscated by its nature than an LLM. Regardless, the world has many competing autos and looms which were not invented from scratch every instance.

The US has not been a democracy for over a decade at least, and this is common knowledge. I find it hard to believe anyone's ignorance is so brazen. Regardless of the sincerity of your ignorance, the fact that the US is not a democracy undermines your premise.

Its optional! One finger swipe on heliboard works at least as well as gboard or this futo one.

I'm sorry, once you've tried it you may not be able to go back. For close to a decade have been using an unmaintained app called nintype that was apparently the inventor of two finger swipe until it stopped working on new android versions... Heliboard saved me from actual despair
Re:FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model

I have contributed to this. Heliboard also great because it supports two finger swipe which is huge ergonomic improvement

Swiping with one finger is faster than typing with two in my experience. But you can have best of both worlds, my keyboard let's me swipe with two fingers at the same time (heliboard on f-droid)
Re:FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model
on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @06:22AM (#48657687)
Have you used heliboard's two finger swiping? Can't live without two finger swipe
Re:FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model
on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @06:21AM (#48657680)
Not only does heliboard have swiping, it has two finger swipe, which is more than 2x better than one finger swipe!
Re:FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model
on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @06:06AM (#48657583)
I used nintype and keyboard69 for years, heliboard on f-droid supports two thumb swiping and works very well ! Not as good as nintype but extremely useful

Heliboard has had great swipe for a while and has two finger swipe which is killer feature
Re:FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model

Can it do two finger swipe like Heliboard? Must have feature for modern swipe keyboard
