The laws around the world are different. The laws within countries are different. Without giving any indication where you are from, nobody can give you any information.

There is a FAQ page https://annas-archive.gl/faq#donate which for example gives you a Monero address which would mean completely anonymous donation.

Is the co-authoring by Claude good practice or is it better to not have that reference in each commit?

I kind of feel all the commits by Claude everywhere are a marketing gig. In terms of transparency of course state somewhere that you are using AI, but personally it doesn’t help me seeing this on every commit. Ultimately you don’t know anyways which part of the commit was AI-inspired, AI-written or human-written, but the co-authored by Claude makes it seem that everything was done by AI and maybe diminishing its credibility.

And it’s quieter than many of its counterparts from other vendors. And it actually doesn’t cost that much - more expensive than cheap-o versions for sure, but then again significantly quieter, that’s their whole premise.

I enjoyed reading it. Informative and showing of their processes and giving some intricate details. And yes, the end goal is to sell products which is fine by me. I take this over any generic non-saying marketing-blurb any time.

New comment by moontear in "GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing"

moontear — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:58:13 +0000

Not quite. Premium models have different type of multipliers applied. The multiplier decides how many PRUs (premium request units or tokens) are used. These PRUs are replaced with different units with this announcement but the methodology remains the same: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-...

Sometimes the multiplier increase is significant like for Claude Opus 4.6 from 3x to 27x (https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...), meaning using that model will use up a lot more „tokens“ (whatever the new word for it is)

I really don't like tools that are not distributed via official package managers like apt / apk.

+1 for gpakosz/.tmux which I also wanted to mention here. I have it synced across all machines and a personal .tmux.conf.local that modifies some settings to my liking.

I don't know about avoided, this kind of represents the WTF per minute code quality measurement. When I write WTF as a response to Claude, I would actually love if an Antrhopic engineer would take a look at what mess Claude has created.

And you can self-host the server if you want to! Running Ente Auth since quite a while now and am very happy with it.

I really was wondering about the clickbaity title but it really is just a comparison:

Inspired by the thunderous footsteps of Tyrannosaurus rex, the IMENSUS engineers have designed a prototype rover that sends vibrations down through the ground beneath it to map out what resources might be there.

That isn't true, but I don't blame anyone for not understanding what Microsoft marketing is doing in terms of branding.

See for example: https://www.theverge.com/tech/856149/microsoft-365-office-re... or https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/01/11/office-is...

Microsoft Office still exists, the current version being Microsoft Office 2024 for Mac & Windows. But THIS Office is the the non-subscription version of Office, this is not the cloud-connected Apps being offered via Microsoft 365. This version of Office doesn't get all the latest cloud features and stuff happening in the subscription versions.

The cloud version of Office meanwhile is being renamed left and right. The office.com homepage now redirects to Copilot and is rebranded as Microsoft 365 Copilot just like you said. If you have any M365 business or enterprise plan Office is actually called "Microsoft 365 apps for business/enterprise".

Now why the Microsoft marketing team is adamant on changing and mucking about with such a long standing brand as "Microsoft Office" nobody understands.

"also" is a strong word for a project this young. It was started in October 2025, does not have any issues (at all) and is completely vibe coded. Not starting a discussion about security & vibe coding now, but I wouldn't blindly recommend such a nascent project if compared to something mature like SOPS.

I thought SOPS with age is what we were doing now. Do we need yet another tooling?

Exactly that. And the push notification includes what I am approving. Also with some sensible delay in sending out these pushes, because otherwise I may be bombarded with push notifications, while already having it manually approved.

The notification payload for reference, you will also need a permission input_select (pending/allow/deny) and an automation that triggers upon mobile_app_notification_action:

  notification_payload=$(cat <


Actionable notifications are a bit cumbersome on iOS since you need to long-press the notification for actions, but it does work.

I have multiple Google Accounts and I am running them at the same time without problems. If you really want to separate things use different browser profiles per account. My work Google account never touches my private Google account in terms of browser profiles.
