Maybe because you can just buy a nice ThinkPad, slap any distro on and be done with it. Without all this hassle.

Japanese cars is actually a positive qualifier. I'd say anything Japanese motor-powered.

> I am extremely happy with ohmypi, but you could use OpenCode or just keep using Claude Code!

What's the benefit of using OMP over OpenCode?

Just the sheer amount of options in OMP overwhelmed me. But I also use both via ACP in Zed so the CLI itself doesn't matter much.

Really shocked Poland is that low, especially just next to USA.

Don't ever read about the Red Army marching west (and plundering) through Europe. You'll get a heart attack.

And that's why real estate market is so bad in DE/AT. Folks are terrified of investing in stock market, even through ETFs.

So it's either put everything in a Sparkonto, where it gets eaten by inflation or buy housing.

IMHO the ergonomics of their tooling are not great. I'd rather use Codex or even OpenCode. Configuration alone is very arcane with lacking documentation. Sandboxing/permission system is quite confusing too.

In any case, pretty much everywhere in the developed world, we desperately need lower burden on people's labour (through salary income tax and related contributions). If wealth tax is a way to get there, so be it.

It was the same in communist Poland. You were not allowed to be a lefty -- all the citizens had to be homogenous. My father was born a lefty and forced to write with his right hand in primary school. He ended up learning how to write upside down too, just for fun.

You can run Codex Desktop on Linux. It's on AUR already. Granted, just a repacked ASAR from Windows version but still does work quite well. Haven't tested connection to mobile yet but the integration with cloud environments already works.

Because I don't only write the code. I will also read it, many more times.

Wasn't enough (at least with Gemini 3). I had do a few round trips with screenshots until it got all the details.

I tried using it to reproduce my favourite Soda Dark / Sunburst colour combination from Sublime Text. It was a really sisyphean task.

In the end I fed some screenshots (and original ST4 config) to AI studio and it came up with something workable but not exactly a replica. Naturally different editors have different semantic tokens.

We should ask the agents to output TeX instead. /s

On a serious note some kind of rich Markdown would definitely help.

That's not really my experience as a person born and raised in Poland.

If anything the decades of communist occupation destroyed the work ethic.

We have a famous saying "whether you stand or lay down, you deserve 1000zł".

Definitely not the largest per capita though. There's a lot of people in Poland.

New comment by odiroot in "Automatic Brightness in Plasma"

odiroot — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:42:27 +0000

Living in a place with frequent changes between sunny / cloudy weather I've always wanted something like that for my Plasma setup.

Wluma sort of answers that question but I have my cameras always covered for privacy so I couldn't really use it. Tried to experiment with an external (Zigbee-connected) luminance sensor but never managed to get it well.

Ended up writing a Plasma tray applet for quickly switching between "sun mode" and "clouds mode" with a single click (and adjusting both built-in and external display at once). Sometimes this is a saner option than "UX uncanny valley" automation.
