Copilot is now dead to me
Which subscription(s) should I replace it with?
I primarily use opencode using Codex 5.3 (high/xhigh) as my go to model.

Well the new github copilot pricing change has made it go from the best subscription for AI to... last.
It was too good before but this is not going to work and feels more like a rugpull.
I'm probably not the customer they want anymore so no loss but it will impact the brand

Always check that the API's your using with AI code is the real thing.
Just had the AI change to the easier but terrible option (external api) for some data .
Also seen a lot of slopware that is abusing other API's services and just break from hitting limits. They didn't check.

Amazing work guys!
Now to figure out how to upgrade my projects.
Fable 5 has been released π
This is the result of almost 1 year and a half of work from the community and the maintainers.
Huge thank you to everyone involved. β€οΈ

Next time I need to ensure my laptop has more than 2 usbc ports.
It's normally okay but sometime you just need more... and I don't want a ton of dongles.

The real answer is naming classes is hard, tailwind avoids this.
Added bonus is colocated styling.
This is why I like it.
BEM with separate css should still be used for plugins or ecosystem modules eg Wordpress plugin.
Mar 26
I really don't understand tailwind, all it did is make everyone inline styles & everything becomes bifurcated inlined styles. It's full blown anarchy there's nothing blocking people from doing shit thats gross in one place, I have to write eslint rules to not descend into chaos.

Iβm not sure if this will work out.
Quality software typically needs more attention not less.
I seem to care less about the code AI wrote as itβs cheap to replace. I always had to battle myself on time vs value when coding.
It CAN be better but I donβt think weβll get that
Mar 26
If the AI revolution doesnβt result in 10x higher quality software when being driven by experienced engineers, Iβm gonna be so disappointed in us. We should be βover cookingβ the things we undercooked before because of the cost.

Reading this about wayland (kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCadβ¦)
I don't think wayland was a mistake but there are serious questions around security vs UX and DX. I'd argue if it's easy on osx/win it should be on Linux too
These are core issues that will stop desktop linux mainstreaming

My god, AI will then feed this into itself and will become the baseline.... anyone see a problem?

Microslop at it again.
Office 365 I preferred and recommended over Google as they had good support. HAD being the key word.
They are trying their best to not support me! Stonks go up I guess is all that matters...
We are all the issue with investments causing our own misery

Automatic AI that is being ignored or cancelled is such a waste.
I get that companies have to demonstrate a feature but I had google "AI Magicing" my PDF's I was checking over.
100's of PDF's being AI'ed for really no benefit, I guess its better than the wasted video gen?

I've become much more aggressive towards my AI since first coding with.
Weirdly I feel that it does a better job though when I'm not as nice.

at work everyone was uncomfortable with using "master" as the main branch name on git so i changed it to "slave_coordinator"

Such a pitty that Anthropic are splitting devs.
Using Github Copilot means I can use a range of models including opus/sonnet and within opencode if I want to.
I cancelled my Claude sub last month, opencode copilot combo is better can claudecode ever was.
opencode 1.3.0 will no longer autoload the claude max plugin
we did our best to convince anthropic to support developer choice but they sent lawyers
it's your right to access services however you wish but it is also their right to block whoever they want
we can't maintain an official plugin so it's been removed from github and marked deprecated on npm
appreciate our partners at openai, github and gitlab who are going the other direction and supporting developer freedom

Am I an idiot or is upgrading a deb file really weird?
I double click, opens App Centre but it says "installed" but that is wrong as it's the old version not the new one right?
Wouldn't some "upgrade" button make more sense here?
Got it to work doing an apt install on terminal

Anybody who thinks that it is ok for telemetry to use 100% of your CPU should be fired immediately.

This is funny, out source details to a dev and they'll use the easiest thing they can.
NHS doesn't really care if they have bad numbers if anything it avoids more calls... so benefit?

Booking . com booked over 1 billion nights in 2024 but manages to have a simple 8-digit number for each booking.
What idiot of a lazy civil servant designed the booking numbers for the NHS?
How is someone old or on the phone or with an accent ever supposed to tell anyone else this mess of a number?
