I can customize Omarchy without starting from scratch, but my work machine still has to be stable and supported. That's why I think it could fit people coming from the corporate world.

I asked Jake why he's on the fence about AI: he used it to organize a rambling script, disclosed it in a pinned comment, got called slop, and it became his best-performing video ever.

I was stuck for weeks on a problem even the $200 GPT tier couldn't crack, and Opus 5.5 solved it in about 30 minutes. So do companies want AI to solve real problems, or to automate us out of existence? #AI

I built a hacky OpenCode-and-Telegram remote workflow, but Heisenbug convinced me to try the default AI app. One remote-control toggle made continuing on my phone embarrassingly simple.

I watched an AI doom interview with a panel that pushed back hard. We get into jobs, coding, and AI in the Linux kernel Roman Yampolskiy says AI Will Wipe Us Out, is there a 99.9% chance? I played the claim for DistroTube and other Linux YouTubers https://youtu.be/UiucBnJ2UTY

I turned off Kitty's quit confirmation, then ran a long terminal job outside tmux. Now one accidental Command-Q could ruin everything.

As a solo creator with a full-time job, I use AI to take thumbnails, shorts, publishing, and other work I hate off my plate.

I explain why Kovid Goyal, creator of Kitty and Calibre, deserves far more support and recognition for quietly building foundational tools.

I asked Prot about gentrification in Cyprus. He explains how turning Southern Europe into a tourist product pushes housing beyond local incomes.

Theo's pitch sent me searching for T3 Code's price, but I kept finding T3 Chat instead. Is this just a paid GUI for subscriptions I already bring?

My guest Lucidlynx explains why healthcare AI needs provider agreements, data-loss prevention, gateways, and approved models to protect patient data.

My 3D keycaps look like crooked teeth, and they're ugly. But after the flat stock caps on the Forager, I can't go back. They feel like a little couch. https://youtu.be/ReKEKmLxBys

Tony says Linux lets developers build what they want without being confined to a centralized app store.

I think Linux needs more than functionality to win over macOS users. Omarchy looks like a viable option because its polish makes switching feel worthwhile.

I thought running five coding tasks in parallel made me fast. In practice, focusing on one task at a time gets me there sooner.

Emacs vs Neovim: why Prot won't pick a side. I talked with Prot about Emacs refusing LLM contributions, AI, and why I'm not switching back to Emacs yet. Grab a coffee or a tea and enjoy https://youtu.be/dQ6X0-XCLIw

I learned that pressing Control-T on macOS reveals live dd progress without interrupting the write.

I could open-source my AI automation, but one overlooked security setting could put other users at risk. That responsibility makes sharing it harder than it sounds.

I stick to 34 keys because every key stays one easy movement away, so I can reach everything without looking at the keyboard.

I learned from Prot how full Emacs runs on Android with the same configuration, while Techieman shared an iPhone shell that can load Emacs and tmux.

I'm live today, Sunday, October 25 at 1:30 PM CST. I'll try Neru, vim keys for your whole Mac, and see if it can replace the mouse. Then I react to "No More AI". https://youtube.com/live/Oa4_N4Y9yKg

After a month with sculpted custom keycaps, I compared them with my old flat set. The raised rows feel genuinely good, though the difference isn't huge.

I asked Lucidlynx why healthcare can't simply add AI. He explains how regulations, patient-data risks, and architecture turn adoption into a major effort.

Tony may daily-drive an operating system for months before researching, recording, editing, and publishing one video.

I unboxed the $75 PandaKB Forager, a 34-key wireless split, and tried to see if it can replace my Toucan. First impressions, flashing an AI-ported ZMK config included. https://youtu.be/rOCGJy28sWI

I tried Omarchy's dwindle layout and couldn't understand the practical point of turning my screen into a game of Tetris.

I can switch repositories, keep working on my phone, and skip the complexity of an advanced OpenCode setup. Sometimes simple really is better.

I only needed a function key to enter the BIOS. Instead, I tore through useless wireless keyboards and ended up raiding household remotes for AAA batteries.

I'm going live Thursday, October 29 at 6:00 AM CST with Sacha Chua. We'll talk about why she still lives in Emacs after 20+ years, her Org Mode setup, and her audio braindump workflows. https://youtube.com/live/BlgtfOsXgCs

Live right now: I'm unboxing PandaKB's 34-key Forager split keyboard for the first time. Can it replace my Toucan? https://youtube.com/live/R2jSigFzhyA

I explain why AI doesn't erase programming fundamentals: a strong background helps you get more from the tool, while refusing it may only slow you down.

I used the Glove80 as my main keyboard for a year and a half, but its distant keys made my thumbs hurt and forced too much finger movement.

I'm exploring Org mode beyond Emacs with Prot. He explains what Neovim can reproduce and why Emacs integration still matters.

Why Roman Yampolskiy Thinks AI Will Wipe Us Out, is there really a 99.9% chance? I played the claim for DistroTube and other Linux YouTubers. What's hype and what's a real concern? https://youtu.be/sgiJkic_UVI

I like that Omarchy gives you a tiling window manager out of the box, but its layout and keybindings clash with the workflow I've already built.

I asked Lucidlynx how workplaces can reduce shadow AI. His answer: offer a sanctioned internal tool that de-identifies sensitive data and is useful enough for employees to choose.

DistroTube explains why pushing past the point of being healthy is never worth it.

OpenCode compaction can lose track of my task and wreck the session. My recovery rules help it continue, but they come with an expensive token tradeoff.

My clipping workflow needed a master agent to enforce rules and coordinate AI editors. OpenAI stayed stuck, but Opus figured it out.

I gifted five memberships in an unlisted stream so my alternate account could test TTS. YouTube gave every one to random people who weren't even there.

I use FZF menus to switch between open Kitty sessions and create new ones from project directories I've visited before.

I get sent plenty of new vibe-coded tools, but I think that era is over: if I need a utility, Claude Code can build it for me in two minutes.

ThePrimeagen's StarCraft idea is why I jump straight to apps with keymaps instead of switching workspaces. In this clip I react to his workflow and compare it with my macOS setup. https://youtu.be/Ph-vJ8f3Yfo

Prot showed me HerbstluftWM, the obscure manual tiling window manager he's used with effectively the same setup since 2019 - without a single issue.

After a year with the Toucan, I compare its thumb placement, switches, and keycaps with another split-keyboard prototype.

Lucidlynx explains why company rules can't truly stop shadow AI when employees have personal phones and cellular connections. I show how sensitive data can reach OpenAI in seconds.

DistroTube recalls how the 2020 and 2021 surge in video work turned content creation into his full-time job.

I use macOS hotkeys to jump straight into named Kitty sessions, then compare my one-key workflow with terminal prefix keymaps.

I explain why Marco made Kulala.nvim private and how entitled users can wear down people who contribute their time to open source.

I react to the ThePrimeagen workflow video that started my fourth attempt at learning Vim. Then I look at how times have changed now that he's on Omarchy. https://youtu.be/_kPRygjKJX8
