Tick the Box, Hope Nobody Checks
System76 now makes COSMIC contributors swear they used no AI at all, not even in the comments. I read the rule one clause at a time and got angrier with each one.
Three Days of Making GovernCode Less Forgetful, Less Serial, and Less Dumb About Limits
A progress report on GovernCode: better memory, Specs that run side by side, and a way to recover when an AI hits its usage limit. None of it is released yet, and I'll tell you exactly why that matters.
I Made My AI Tools Ask Permission
For a couple of months I tinkered with an idea: let several AI coding tools work as one crew without letting any of them touch what they should not. Tonight it became a real, free, open-source release candidate called GovernCode.
The Droid You Are Looking For
My second Omarchy plugin mirrors an Android phone onto the desktop. Most of the actual work was deciding when software is allowed to guess on your behalf, and when it absolutely is not.
It Broke My GPU and I Like It Anyway
Omarchy cost me half a GPU, a monitor running at a third its refresh rate, and an entire website. I am still here, and my computer is fun again for the first time in years.
Zero Is a Lie
My first published Omarchy plugin started as a lazy wrapper around btop and ended with me ripping btop out entirely. Along the way I had to decide what a system monitor is allowed to say when it genuinely does not know something.
Half a GPU
My laptop GPU was quietly running at half power on Omarchy, after a full year of this exact machine giving me zero problems. Took less than a week to notice, and I still almost talked myself out of it.
Whoopsie
I deleted my own website, went looking for a backup, and found a beautifully preserved copy of my terminal color scheme instead.
