I love my Boox, I run Storyteller on it instead of the native e-reader. I love that it’s just an android tablet with an e-ink screen.

I think it's pretty clearly for amusement. And it would kind of spoil the amusement if it were to explicitly mention that it's a joke...

Yeah it's great until they absolutely destroy you like Unisuper or Railway.

Support is part of the package when it comes to product and their support SUCKS.

I would absolutely NEVER use GCP for any business I was in charge of. Google cannot be trusted.

This looks cool! I’ll have to try it

Some apps have crappy accessibility so Homerow doesn't always work in some apps. so I kind of want to try mouseless as well. I might end up rocking both at the same time.

Homerow is like vimium but for your entire mac.

I think I prefer the approach that Homerow uses: https://www.homerow.com/

It's like vimium but for your entire mac. It hooks into the macOS accessibility APIs.

Use lens paper to blot the water off.

I don't have soft water so i blot the lenses dry with lens paper. Works amazingly and my lenses last so long since i switched to the dish soap method.

You don't even make small tweaks by hand? There's so many things that are honestly faster to do by hand than wait for agents to do.

Maybe in whatever language ecosystem you are in, but in the javsacript world most projects have tons of eslint rules that are specifically designed to stop bugs.

Like for instance there are tons of eslint rules to make sure you aren't breaking the rules of react, like having missing dependencies in a useEffect dependencies array, or calling a react hook conditionally.

It's linters all the way down

That's why we still do code review. The linter rules is just about lowering the amount of mistakes you have to catch at code review time.

This is why you need to be generating more linter rules instead of just having things be in markdown files.

I had never written an eslint rule until i started having agents pump them out for me and now I've encoded a bunch of important rules as lint rules that will fail CI if violated.

Can you include screenshots in your readme?

Also does it only work for staging and unstaged changes? I use jj so I need to be able to point it at commits since jj has no staging it just creates a new git commit snapshot every time you run any jj command.

Seriously! On my windows desktop, I have to let the computer sit a minute after booting before i touch the keyboard otherwise it completely wigs out and becomes partially unresponsive due to some weird issue with the AMD chipset drivers. I can see my mouse move, i can move windows around, but nothing responds to clicks and i can't open anything.
