You can see this today on macOS. I see people with this at work all the time. The defaults have quite inflated scaling and the dock at the bottom. The vertical space left for a website after the address bar is hardly anything.

`acli` doesn't cover Confluence and I found it limited compared to the MCP by sooperset on GitHub.

I never run more than one space and instead switch between windows with the app Alt Tab

I ran ccusage on my work Max account and I spend what would cost $300 a week if it was billed at API rates.

Sad. I will need a new way to communicate with my guy.

Google $20/mo plan has great usage for Claude Opus. Last time I used it, around Feb, it felt basically unlimited.

We don't ignore him. I wear headphones while soothing him.

OpenAI has a £200/mo plan and explicitly allow Claws to use it. The flat rate era will go on.

The problem is that Anthropic is overextended. Their uptime is actually a disgrace. To fix it they're attacking demand instead of supply, reducing the usage limits of the Max plan and banning secondary usage like OpenClaw.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next. OpenAI are even offering credit incentives on their enterprise subs if you sign up a Codex seat.

And if it was, it'd be the Elizabeth Line line.

Incredible fun. I got every one wrong except the line I live on and use all the time. I couldn't tell any of the others apart much, but I knew my line instantly, without any doubt. Fascinating.

Even if it is close, maybe GHC CLI has improved in the last month since I last used it, I know you didn't say it but calling people uninformed because they prefer one or the other is just wrong.

IME is is less capable of performing complex work, more frequently goes down blind alleys and needs correcting, that kind of thing. It's night and day vs CC.

It's a bit rich to go around calling people uninformed because they prefer one harness to another, particularly when you are recommending GHC as comparable to CC.

You have to enable Apple Intelligence so that's a hard no from me. I'll stick to LM Studio and gpt-oss/qwen. Very cool project though.

IIRC it does so as default too. I have loads of stuff pointing at LM Studio on localhost
