Love this. Claude has a similar music taste to me it seems.

I read the X thread over the weekend, parts of it had me and my gf crying with laughter

Things aren’t perfect therefore they’re terrible.

Came here to say the same thing.

What’s up with that?

Love the url for this.

“Why big fierce animals rare?” Sounds like something one of my ancestors might have asked 30,000 years ago.

Jokes aside, great rec

Yep, this was in the UK. Moorhens are pretty dumb birds so they just got wiped out.

Environmental activists rescued some mink and released them in a river by my parents house.

Within a couple of years they had completely wiped out the local moorhen population.

Nature is complicated

Re:What British people mean when they say 'sorry' on Thursday May 07, 2026 @07:53AM (#48048272)
“I beg your pardon” can be translated as “what the fuck did you just say to me?”

It’s getting quite serious if you have to whip that one out

Re:What British people mean when they say 'sorry' on Wednesday May 06, 2026 @11:17PM (#48045041)
I’m a Brit. It was only after living overseas that I realised just how mad our use of “sorry” can be.

An example. One day I was on the tube. My bag was on the seat next to me. A bloke gets on, points at my bag and says “sorry”.

What he actually meant, was “move your bag”.

The thing is, if he had said something so direct, I would have said “sorry, what did you say to me?”

And on and on…

Yeah you’re not wrong. I hadn’t accounted for the model working around it and that’s on me.

The whitelist is much more specific now.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I’m looking to try it out.

Which provider are you using for inference? Opencode or the DeepSeek api?

Yep. I made a "Read only" mode in pi by taking away "write" and "edit" tools. Claude Code used bash to make edits anyway.

All the same gripes from me. None enough to be a deal breaker, but every once in a while I'll do something on my GFs macbook pro and be blown away by how solid it feels.

I had the same emotional ride. I'm glad they've kept to the "brand promise" of being able to upgrade an old machine.

I'm two years into my fw 13 and think I'll start by upgrading the chassis. I also bought 64GB of DDR5 (it was on sale, if you can imagine such a thing) - The trackpad, speakers and battery are the parts of the machine that I don't really love so will be happy to upgrade those.

I think if I can I'll keep the silver top cover - A bit of a "I had a fw before they were cool" statement

Anthropic limiting Claude subs to Claude code is what pushed me away in the end because I wanted to keep using Pi.
Re:Is anyone actually using OpenClaw? on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @11:26PM (#47788330)
I’ve built a few recurring tasks with an OpenClaw. It’s fun to sit on the sofa and task it. That said, everything I’ve built with it I’ve realised would work better as a script.
The apes were so angry about it they claude the researchers eyes out.

Steve Reich is my favourite of the minimalists. Electric counterpoint and Music for 18 Musicians are regulars in the line up.

“Existential urge to start implementing changes”

Easily the most annoying part. Claude and I will be at the beginning of understanding the shape of a problem and he’ll just dive right in.
