<p>When I tried this a month or so ago Linux support was markedly bad, and a quick look at the GitHub issues confirmed it wasn't just me and wasn't a priority for the company. I wouldn't advertise it either.<p>The nails in the coffin were 1) login was required 2) login was broken because they "didn't consider" it would be run in a headless environment [0] and 3) they shipped with hardcoded binary paths and root requirements [1].<p>I moved on and use Incus directly with small helper scripts, smolvm, or a full fat VM running desktop Claude or ChatGPT if I (or someone I mentor) really needs the full app. I'm not yoloing every new claw agent in --dangerously-destroy-my-things mode, so network restrictions are best effort, though filesystem access stays tight.<p>Either way, docker sandboxes really didn't seem to be it, and the company didn't seem interested in trying to be anything beyond an enterprise solution.<p>0. <a href="https://github.com/docker/sbx-releases/issues/186#issuecomment-4591544355" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/docker/sbx-releases/issues/186#issuecomme...</a>

<p>At times I couldn't tell if this was a lament or an instruction manual.<p>The "souled" version of the Clif Bar site and the Amazon Video pause menu are good examples of the pendulum perhaps swinging back . Even today they give "overbusy" more than "rewarding."</p>

<p>This isn't really helping to be nice, though. It's outsourcing the hard part in a way that presents as "nice and helpful" and frames yourself as knowledgeable, skilled, experienced, or trustworthy in a way that doesn't match reality.</p>

<p>It's been "mathematical" from Gemini for me. Mathematically verified yaml files for Home Assistant, mathematical confirmation of (incorrect) CLI args for a tool, mathematically indistinguishable nutrient profiles of two ingredients.</p>

<p>Also, toss in a quick description. I couldn't tell quickly from the post or site what Chatto _is_. I guessed a vibe coded LLM TUI because that's the new hotness. In a world of Yggdrasil and Immich and Czkawka, a very brief intro helps!</p>

<p>I recently implemented Fish for a project and found it adequate for TTS but wildly impressive in voice cloning. My POC originally required 3-10 audio samples but I removed the minimum because it could usually one shot it.<p>The model is good, but I will say their inference code leaves a <i>lot</i> to be desired. I had to rewrite large portions of it for simple things like correct chunking and streaming. The advertised expressive keywords are very much hit and miss, and the devs have gone dark unfortunately.</p>

<p>Welp, I guess it's time to start pulling all the uv deps out of our builds and enjoy the extra 5 minutes of calm per deploy. I'm not gonna do another VC-fueled supply chain poisoning switcheroo under duress of someone else's time crunch to start churning profit.</p>

<p>> What I do think is important is to not disappear or go quietly when these companies attempt these things<p>It is exceptionally easy to tell someone else to spend time and money for a cause you philosophically agree with.<p>What will you, specifically, do to help this person in this case?</p>
