<p>I always thought that the donate tokens thing would be done by sending some tokens from your personal sub to the maintainer's pool with some sort of proxy for tokens with rules, in a more direct way without doing it in cash, but yeah that's where the sweet fees live.<p>If this gets any traction, the "share tokens with a friend" could be good PR for the labs, instead of buy me a coffee, buy me a clanker.</p>

<p>I saw it the other day in the release notes and I'm definitely setting this up since I already use mise for many of my global tools and projects.<p>Some months ago I ported part of my git bare repo to chezmoi but never really picked it up since, even if I see it as a great and very complete tool for managing complex dotfiles, I don't have many machines and can live by with a bunch of if uname -s, and the fact that I still need to wrangle brewfiles and scripts for packages. Having the sytem package managers glue along the configs and symlinks is exactly what I wanted.</p>

<p>The best I can do now (in absence of this machine) is trying to remember we are already slowly dying day by day, and that we can drop dead in any instant. But even using this machine I think I would easily forget about my own mortality and keep wasting my time with mundane things.</p>

<p>I was on Claude Code the past year, now I use chinese models, but I've used Cursor and they have an ok pricing offering today because of their mix of sota models with usage based pricing along with their Kimi based Composer model with generous limits. I think it makes a lot of sense for the enterprise market, which is the real moat, and not the capabilities/features of the forked ide or app/tui/github bot <i>anyone</i> can come up with today.</p>

<p>I went fro regular keyboard to happy user of (slightly modified) Glorious Engrammer here.<p>I use qwerty and I'm really not a fast typist, but the "primitives" and thought put on this layout, from home row mods timings, pinch movements, mouse layer, symbol layer etc really helped me to stay comfortable keeping the hands on the keys with less finger movement and less overreaching to the mouse, which really was what was harming my wrist.<p>The keyboard in itself is great and all, being split and easy to mount creatively also helps for ergonomics, but to me it's half the battle. In fact at the begging, with default and using a mouse in the middle of both halves was hurting my hand even more.</p>

<p>I've been basically clankermaxxing in coding for years now and using AI chats for rubber ducking and "research" (scraping web and generating a dumpster folder of markdown "knowledge"). Also I work alone so what would be reading stack overflow I substituted with mountains of slop.<p>My thoughts on this are: if you are soulless I don't care what you write about and how you communicate, but if you try to present human, personal ideas with heavy AI writing signs I will give you the same consideration as if a toaster was talking to me.<p>For example: any kind of corporation communication, linkeding, marketing, pure technical docs, code, etc. I don't care the slightest, it never was <i>human</i> communication, they are just artifacts. I don't care if it's slop, I'm ok talking to your claw slack bot if when I ask I get the massaged info I need.<p>But if you trick me into talking with you/reading your blog and you outsource your thinking and/or writing to a clanker without disclosing it or convincing me why, you are silicon to me.</p>

<p>Engineering at my EU uni, homework and coursework were at most a tiny part of the total grade, and never enough on their own to pass. If they were relatively bigger projects, you'll pass an interview or similar review after delivering it. This all were just nudges study and to check ourselves and they were seen as a "gift" of the Bologne Process (restructuring/standardizing of unis in the EU).<p>The only thing that mattered were the exams, be it pen and paper or coding/electronics labs, in person and proctored. No matter how much slop I could have access to back in the day I would have failed the same subjects I did.</p>
