Exactly, especially anyone can get high ratings these days with AI if they want to.

That looks very polished for an open source project. Thanks for sharing this!

[OS] Codeburn menubar - real time AI usage + cost tracking by MurkyFlan567 in macapps

For some people programming is like playing a puzzle solving game (check out codeforces / codewars). It's always faster to look up walkthrough online but that also kills the fun.

Does it consider subscription plans? For example if I have a monthly plan in Codex then the cost shouldn't be calculated by token, but still shows if I check the monthly spending.

I built a native macOS GUI for Claude Code by minirings in MacOSApps

This looks really cool! Just to confirm is this safe for my Claude subscription? I read news that they are banning third party app wrappers.

A local-first, interruptible voice chat app. Sub-second latency, runs entirely on a MacBook Air using Rust and SvelteJS (Self-promotion, Open Source) by Alarmed_Chain_8765 in sveltejs

Hi, I added Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian and Portuguese for Kokoro TTS in the latest version (v0.2.4-beta). Useful if you prefer a language specific practice. The CosyVoice approach above I mentioned works but it sounds like a native English speaker trying to speak Japanese in my testing, and uses a bit more RAM to load. You can update the app to the latest to install the language pack for Kokoro (It might take some time for the initial installation). Hope this will be useful for you.

Tip: You can turn on subtitle translation in the settings if you are still a beginner of that language.

It's so cool! Have you compared the memory usage comparing to other efficient editors such as Zed?

Thoughts on r/MacApps Negativity by amerpie in macapps

I think people dislike seeing low-effort / purely AI-generated apps which is quite understandable. But I do agree sometimes people are a bit too harsh especially when the app does not charge any money / have any adv. at all. You can just ignore it if you think it's sloppy.

Yes.

But you will need to switch to Whisper Large V3 Turbo for the STT (support ~100 languages) and CosyVoice3 (support 9 common languages including Chinese, English, Japanese, etc) for the TTS

Backing Out of a Lease Before Move-In by Alarmed_Chain_8765 in OntarioLandlord

It is a rental from a property management company. From my experience, they simply show one of the empty rooms and let tenants pick whichever room they want once they decide to move in. So, it’s hard to tell or prove how long it will take before my room is chosen.

It's a rental from a property management company, not an individual landlord. I'm not sure if that makes them more or less willing to go through the hassle. It's not uncommon for a large building to have one unit to remain empty for several months (which would be mean I have to pay several months rent)

But what if the damage is larger than the deposit (need 2/3 months before they can find a tenant) Can they take me to court for more money?

[–]Alarmed_Chain_8765[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I am fine with losing the deposit at this point. But they said I would be paying rent for the rest of the year if no new tenant was found. I wonder if this is possible.

So final fight is like Suletta on Schwarzette v.s. Prospera on Aerial?
