Not insane at all. People should build their own instead of using other people's agents. It's easy to do and the results can be great for you. I've built several; one that is effectively "stuck" in Kakoune: youtube.com/…/playlistYouTubeLLMs stuck in Kakoune

I plan to remain active, so not planning a top level post just yet. Will try to engage first for a few days so the ratio is low when I do the post.

ooh maybe I revive hallucinate.site and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And it’s the perfect domain, a site that’s been entirely mostly hallucinated.

@doveprofilefollowreplied to@davidprofilefollow🍎 A lifetime Apple user. Partner says I am pedantic, sarcastic, and cynic. I just want to be me.:
Arch, because I feel you cannot use Linux without knowing how it works, and sway for window manager because it is highly stable, wholly keyboard driven, and tiling
@melting_coffee_mug🤔profilefollowreplied to@davidprofilefollow🍎 A lifetime Apple user. Partner says I am pedantic, sarcastic, and cynic. I just want to be me.:
Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.
