@mischievoustomato so far so good! Scheduling willing I'll record another podcast episode on Friday and discuss the experience. That will be the real test. The tools I use all seem to work, but we'll see.
tl;dr it's actually pretty nice. Haters keep pen testing it and talking shit online, but they have a point as some of the security findings were pretty embarrassing. However no other distro is prioritizing an agent-first experience like this, so I'm going to keep using it and maybe submit bug reports or something if I find anything.
The rice isn't anything too special, you could achieve it on another distro without too much work (that I don't want to do), but the target audience is Mac devbros and their minds are being blown by this thing. It's fun to watch
I think soon omacom is going to have to decide if they keep it based on arch, move to something else like maybe Nix, or do their own thing. Given how much money they raised they will probably do their own thing, or give some cash to whatever they move to.
I have an interest in Omarchy succeeding in the long run because nobody else seems to be interested in a premium AI ootb experience. Given how excellent local models are I think the genie is really out of the bottle. All the frontier American models could go out of business tomorrow and local models would remain useful, and I get pretty good speed and responses out of Qwen 3.8 on my AMD 7900XT. Again there's nothing particularly special about how Omarchy implements this other than preinstalling mise, and a hyprland plugin to call up those agents.
Only another distro taking that same AI-centric approach is going to challenge the hype and funding it has. However the people who hate Omarchy the most are anti-AI. So they are doomed to helplessly scream about this on bluesky. It's kinda fun to watch
@lain actually yes I got all the achievements in SB1, which took 4 full playthroughs of the game.
Its a lot more fun after you unlock the whole moveset and upgrades. The beginning, which is where the demo covers, your options are a little limited and I thought it was kinda hard. Big recommend
@mangeurdenuage on the bright side parental controls for computers have come a pretty long way. I really don't think they're gonna stumble upon stuff in school computer labs. Then it's just a matter of control at home. It's tough to commit to never letting them have computers or phones cuz then they won't learn how to use them, but it's easy to lock the devices down and if anything I would be happy if one of my kids could actually jailbreak their devices on their own to get around it. That's serious skills
Of course my kids don't have these devices yet cuz they are too young, but I worry about this often
@mangeurdenuage im assuming they will make friends in school who have less attentive or tech-aware parents and have exposed themselves to the things I'm blocking out for my kids. For example: I remember in highschool leaning what proxy sites were because someone else I knew got it working in the computer lab so they could check MySpace.
@lain I think this CD might have been for a road trip from Seattle down to California for the pokemon TCG regional championship. That's the only long drive we did in 2012 I can think of :cacolaugh: @ironee212
Ran them through MusicBrainz Picard, lots of albums i already have. Why did we burn this CD?
