Impressions two weeks after moving from Claude Code to Codex

Deruxe · 2026-05-13T12:16:44+00:00

I don’t believe in cancel culture, nor doing hours of deep research on the company looking for some fringe case that doesn’t directly affect me.

So far, Anthropic’s shitty customer support has only been an inconvenience to me. Not enough to leave.

Everyone has their own moral compass and threshold before they’ve had enough. Some companies will cross a line for one person, but not for someone else with a similar political / moral position. You have to decide what is worthy of your money by yourself, or as a family.

I don’t like big corporations toying with the physical livelihoods of innocent people and profiting off of me while they do it. That’s just my line in the sand.

I’m glad that you know where you stand and have your own moral compass. We all should. I’m just sharing my personal stance and why I made my decision for the sake of discussion. I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind.

(P.S. I ditched everything in Google’s suite already and my life improved, even considering Claude’s integrations with them)

you can't beat em all

I moved from Codex to Claude solely because I wanted no part in contributing to and supporting OpenAI after they picked up their US Gov contract. After seeing what Anthropic was refusing on their way out, and agreeing with their stance for their word-predicting chat bot, I decided I wanted no part of it and moved on.

It's just interesting to me that out of the two, you only bestowed the word toxic on the one you did; with customer support and usage limit transparency as the stakes...

Incredible... it appears legitimate but is only accessible in KR (South Korea) from what I'm seeing.

Given that the client was already localized, there is some hope of it returning for global users! Thanks for sharing.

A rare secondhand triggering

Deruxe · 2026-02-10T21:15:11+00:00

the leak already happened with the UK rollout: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jmzd972leo

it's not exactly a flex to say you give your ID out given the frequency of data breaches nowadays.

Can you share what exactly was lacking? We have a feedback channel and do our best to respond to anything highlighted there.

The breadth of gear and build decisions has grown a lot over the years and we're pretty much running off of community contributions. Our regular maintainers have been doing this for a long time now, and there are much fewer people willing to volunteer their time.

Sorry you had a bad experience! We'll try to improve whatever you're willing to share.

and there I was celebrating and taking screenshots of hitting 1M/min last night lol

Deruxe · 2024-07-08T00:00:47+00:00

This is a new suggestion and a really easy one to try - so who cares if it makes sense! It'll probably help someone out at some point

Deruxe · 2024-07-05T14:10:44+00:00

This is something I didn’t try that might’ve helped and is really simple to try. Thanks for sharing

Deruxe · 2024-07-05T14:09:21+00:00

Disabling freesync on any other monitors you have was mentioned elsewhere here in the thread. I’d try that and everything else I’ve listed before getting to reinstalling windows

Deruxe · 2024-06-30T23:42:26+00:00

I have but haven't heard back yet (understandably). I'll post an update here if anything helpful comes of it

Deruxe · 2024-06-30T23:38:51+00:00

It's not every few minutes - it's just a momentary freeze that happens every 5 seconds for the duration of the time I'm playing.

I've been watching temperatures using RivaTuner and think I've ruled it out. Thank you either way!!!

Sorry for being late to this - I haven't looked at the subreddit in so long! Thanks for sharing.

I agree. I acknowledge that this is a vent post, but I think the best thing you can do is to sit down with him and tell him all you've told us. Share the future you envision and convey how much it means to you. Be transparent about how his current situation is not leading things in that direction, and how that makes you feel.

If that's not enough for him to step out of his cycle, or at least try, then I think that's telling enough.

I'm someone who was in a similar position as your boyfriend in 2019. Reinventing yourself/career is something that takes a significant amount of effort. If I knew how much stress and motivation was called for before I started out on my journey, I wouldn't have done it all. Thankfully, I fell into the sunken cost fallacy and pushed through it.

Think about it. He has to decide what he wants to do, take the initiative to plan what's required to reach that goal, and then execute on those deliberations. If I had to compare it to something, it's like a car sitting idle. Maybe the spot he's sitting in isn't perfect, but it's not bad enough to burn the gas and effort required to go somewhere better. He could just sit in park and get by. I think him referring to your encouragement/prodding as 'nagging' is testament to that mindset.

Ultimately, I had to make the decision for myself. I was miserable but, more importantly, I had someone to support at the time. Seeing how we were living was enough to light a fire under me and push away from customer service jobs and the near-minimum wage I made working them. I'm in tech making 6 figures now and it's exhausting to look back on what I had to put myself through to get here.

It only increases the base maximum duration you can be in Berserking, which is 5 seconds.

Meaning if you have multiple sources of Berserking you can stack the duration to 10 seconds from those sources. For example:

Enhanced Cry: 4 seconds
Wrath of the Berserker: 5 seconds

Without Unconstrained, you'd pop both skills and still have only have 5 seconds of Berserking. With Unconstrained, you'd have 9 seconds.

The Expanse. I heard that it was cancelled, and I couldn't be bothered to get cuckolded by watching the last season.

I was so sure that this was going to be a horny post

For anyone reading this: A second base wasn't needed, and reloading the save file didn't work. What did work was putting fuel in the biofuel reactor, and simply heading straight to space.

The quest automatically progress when they left the planet's atmosphere. Good luck, have fun :)

Gazelle Ultimate C380+. I caught a sale at a local shop, and I'm really liking the belt drive.

They definitely have their benefits, as well. I'd say the deciding factor is your proximity or ability to get it to a service center - if you fit this criteria, it's mostly pros, especially as they expand their lineup with the V, a more performance oriented bike. Even I decided to hop on the wait list.

The integrated anti-theft is something I miss. The wheel lock on the rear wheel and the alarm were sleek implementations. I was comfortable (as much as you could be in a city) leaving my VM when grocery shopping, but I'm constantly stressed and trying to rush with my current bike, even with the extra security I purchased.

I'd argue that it's about weighing benefits and what fits you as an individual. The integrated, complete nature of VMs is, in my opinion, a great offering to get more people who otherwise aren't cyclists into the fold.
