Antirez’s Deepseek 4 Flash implementation that can run on MacBooks also was a revelation. It runs decently on M5 Max 128GB and it’s pointing out other bottlenecks like prefill speed which will improve.

Have you looked into VibeTunnel? I got the terminal working in my browser and it runs on my computer. I can access it on my phone since we’re on the same Tailscale network. I use Ghostty-Web and tried to switch to Wterm but it didn’t work. I think it’s because Ghostty-Web renders a canvas and wterm normal div tags.

I had heard about FCast and it looked promising but many apps don’t support it

Do you think Apple will fix prefill speed with the M6 Max MacBook Ultra 128GB?

You’ll have to drive the agent to do it, not a one-shot task. It’ll also require you to understand your codebase.

Couldn’t you get Claude to go into Supabase’s auth code and make your custom like their’s but adapted to your stack?

I’d also checkout midscene, you can set the model and UI-TARS works but you can also use qwen vision models and it works.

I’ve heard they actually see people signing at them. Also, in India, the voices are actually nice and encouraging I’ve heard.

>> If someone expects to be compensated for their work they should be upfront about it.

Definitely and the Alacritty devs have never asked for anything in return for using their software and code. It's mainly others in the community looking at a commercial company forking and then raising $50M and not even contributing. I've seen huge companies, or their higher ups, Github sponsor developers who are building code they use. It's not unheard of.

So many proprietary companies are built on the back of open-source software. Yes, there is no legal responsibility for Warp to donate to Allacritty. But there is a moral obligation. It's not hard to see open-source maintainers and enthusiasts looking at Warp with skepticism. I didn't know that and will be uninstalling Warp, though I stopped using it months ago.

As the creator of UBO, what are your thoughts on uBO vs uBOL? Do you think Firefox’s MV3 will be an issue down the line?

theturtletalks — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 03:21:52 +0000

Their docs say cal.fyi won’t have team features but my self hosted one does. They are a bit hacky. I think they also said they will stop publishing a docker image and that’s what I use to self host. I think I might just build an alternative over the weekend.

Marketing push was there too, everyone was saying Grok had jumped Claude and Codex, yet I never got that when using all 3.

Not impossible though, I run a directory of open-source alternatives and rarely do you see what Cal.com did. Projects gets abandoned yes, but a pure bait and switch like this really grinds my gears. This is from someone who is self hosting Cal.com right now and now they are going to strip even more features.

theturtletalks — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:28:37 +0000

Did Asimov’s idea of AI revolve around data retrieval? I’ve read that even human intelligence isn’t necessarily remembering things, but being able to traverse our knowledge and find that idea or thought quickly.

Enshittification has come for VC backed open-source. AI has deemed commercial open source obsolete especially when users can point Calude Code to calcom on GitHub and ask it to make them scheduling features directly into their product. That’s what spooked Cal.

We’d hope but they could neuter Cal.diy over time. From their chart between the differences of cal.diy and cal.com, teams are not supported. I’m self hosting Cal.com and I think I do have access to teams as of right now.

I’m building an open source SaaS for every vertical. I’m targeting e-commerce, restaurants, gyms, hotels, grocery stores. I want to leverage these systems to build an interoperable marketplace for each vertical. I launched a Shopify alternative in December and the Toast one is almost ready. Gyms, Hotels, and Grocery stores ones are in the works.

Sellers across every marketplace have to rise up and demand interoperability and then these rent seeking marketplace will fade.
