Do you have a project link or screenshots? That sounds super interesting!

AI is completely cracking up the emulation bubble. We're not even emulating things anymore, we're just reverse engineering things and directly porting games. This is an awesome timeline for old game preservation. These fuckers aren't profiting from the games anymore, yet they won't release their IP, or update their old games to newer, more accessible platforms. So I really appreciate the work these kinds of developers have been doing.

Really cool!

Reminds me of my own manifesto, which I've written since getting sick of dealing with the hype and gatekeeping machine that surrounds AI based development right now.

With the widespread increase in speed/commit cadence/content added to repos, I wonder if there's an angle here for companies with a lot of CI/CD needs to simply start self-hosting their CI/CD machines on premises.

In my experience, self hosting your CI/CD runners had the biggest impact in cost savings throughout, while also allowing for more powerful machines, which directly means quicker CI/CD runs

Related to this discussion, I have written a manifesto against the excessive usage of MCP and other "tools" when using coding agents. I believe sticking to the basics yields the better quality overall in output

Weird. Just tested, and it's loading well for me

A manifesto against the hype that has grown around AI-assisted development. We're not against the tools, we're against the hype and the gatekeeping. We're programmers who use AI every day but are tired of being told we need a harness, a workflow and forty skills just to ask for what we want.

Is anything done with AI automatically slop? I don't understand this

New comment by fb03 in "Omarchy Is Not A Distro"

fb03 — Sun, 24 May 2026 17:01:12 +0000

The author's complaint is that omarchy is basically a set of ricing on top of arch. I can grok that

Problem is, some people are really impressed by ricing and that is what has been catching users for that ""distro""

I'm pretty sure the fans of minimalism/t distros or just plain bare setups aren't really hyping that much. The author is right in that it's just an opinionated layer on top of Arch

I am also (second post) working on an "idle clicker" like TUI game called "cuqueclicker", where you click an ass instead of a cookie (yeah, it's inspired by Cookie Clicker)

https://github.com/flipbit03/cuqueclicker

Runs locally and has binaries for every platform that matters out there, including a WASM port that saves your save data to local storage

WASM Port here: https://flipbit03.github.io/cuqueclicker/

Try it out! It's a fun little idle game

I'm working on a full blown terminal emulator called "terminal-use", or "tu" in short, for coding agents. It allows agents to operate fully fledged TUI applications including multiple windows, mouse control, etc. It can even self drive a NetHack session via Claude, if you want lol.

It's basically tmux for your coding agent, great for developing and debugging TUI applications as well, because now your agent has a closed feedback loop of applying changes and trying them out itself via tu.

An idle clicker where you don't really click a cookie. Check the repo for more info ;)

Can you run the same tests on Qwen3.5:9b? that's also a model that runs very well locally, and I believe it's even stronger than Gemma2B

I'm working on `tu` (terminal use), which is a way to give agents access to a full blown virtual terminal to operate TUI apps

https://github.com/flipbit03/terminal-use

I'm super proud, because it came to my knowledge that someone at Codex used my tool to debug codex+zellij issues, by running zellij within `tu`, and then codex inside zellij

Quick Q: OP told he used Llama 3.2:3b which is a pretty old model. What would be a good modern model to substitute it? Qwen3.5:4b or something?

Cooked this to scratch my own itch and allow CC to operate interactive TUI apps like k9s, mc, nethack and etc. Video inside
