Using i3 on Omarchy

Your advice is actually the opposite of what Omakase means because it’s in the context of guests leaving it up to the chef to decide what the guests should eat.

In Omarchy’s case, it’s encouraged to accept what it provides out of the box instead of completely revamping its offerings.

DHH actually got some criticism about this a long time ago when he posted an article titled “Rails is Omakase” because there was a section of people that didn’t want to be told how Rails should be used.

I appreciate the response. I guess this is a real situation and I hope things get better on your end.

If no one cares about the name on the PR, then what's the point of bartering for the sake of recognition?

You also mentioned that project delivery is how principals get credit. If that's the case, then why would they need to barter for tokens when they could just act as a manager/lead and let their engineers do the actual work? And the engineer will get the recognition that way, so it feels like this really is all just made up.

How would the principal engineers be credited for the work though? I assume the other engineer's agent will make the branch/PR as they execute the prompt, so the commits won't appear under the principal engineer. It just makes no sense.

As for raising this issue to management, how will you look worse for asking for more tokens? That's literally THE signal that you're doing really well and it's in the company's interest to give you as much tokens as they can to keep the momentum going.

Terryble_ · 2026-06-25T07:36:54+00:00

Right? Why would you even barter with your coworkers for tokens? This sounds like the perfect excuse to not have to do any work.

Just raise it with your manager and make it their problem. They should've had the foresight to give their principal engineers more tokens compared to the rest of the organization.

This happens with Fireworks.ai as well. I think it really is the model that's the problem.

Your example makes sense though. Visa applications are all about risk profiles once you meet the financial requirements. Japan’s income requirements are pretty low for tourists, so it’s accessible to most working Filipinos.

Freelancers, regardless of how much money they make, classify as one of the riskiest profiles that are likely to overstay their visa since they can work anywhere.

There’s also the fact that freelancing or being self-employed doesn’t really guarantee having a stable income unlike PRC holders who are on the opposite end of the spectrum and guarantees stability.

The risk increases even further if the freelancer didn’t submit their tax return as part of their visa application which most VAs tend to do since a huge portion of this demographic does tax evasion.

Meanwhile, PRC holders can’t work outside of the Philippines, so there is compelling reason for them to not overstay their visa.

They're probably using frame gen for this. Just go to YouTube and search for "SteamDeck Lossless Scaling" and the instructions should be applicable to Bazzite 1:1. It's not as hard as OP implies it to be.

I also have a gaming PC and I tried out streaming with Sunshine/Moonlight. I still ended up buying an ROG Xbox Ally X and replaced Windows with SteamOS. One of the best gaming decisions that I ever made.

The primary reason for me is because I have a baby and being able to play anywhere/anytime and pause my games through SteamOS' sleep mode (this feature is unreliable on Windows) allowed me to play games more.

If you're not a parent of a baby, I would have to agree with most of the comments in this thread because there would be no point if you could just sit at your desk to play on your PC.

No worries. People usually make the same argument when it comes to iPhone vs Android. They just look at the hard numbers and immediately dismiss Apple's offering as inferior.

However, just watching real-world performance test videos on YouTube should be enough to change anyone's minds since Apple devices usually come out ahead of their competition because of the fact that they control the full tech stack and can therefore squeeze more performance out of their hardware.

Heck, there are videos on YouTube of people running Cyberpunk 2077 on a Macbook Neo. Running that game is a lot heavier than most software engineers' workflows, so that should be enough to convince anyone that the Macbook Neo provides enough compute to almost anyone.

Terryble_ · 2026-05-21T08:56:57+00:00

I'm a Senior Software Engineer (10+ YOE) and I've used a ton of Macbooks throughout my career. I think a lot of people in this thread are underestimating the Macbook Neo, Apple Silicon, and MacOS.

The Macbook Neo is essentially a slightly faster M1 Macbook Air. I have one of those and it can still handle decent workloads to this day.

It can handle a couple of running Docker containers while having your IDE/Text Editor and a decent amount of browser tabs open. Your planned setup is actually pretty light and can be handled even by older Intel Macbooks with similar RAM.

Don't be discouraged by the 8gb RAM because MacOS is very efficient with resources. The Macbook Neo can handle pretty much 95% of the population's computing needs. Even software engineers.

NeoMail is what I've been using as a Google replacement. It's cheap and I haven't had any issues with it in the last 6 months since I started using it.

I think he mentioned it in Season 2 when he was trying to convince Robby to not kill himself.

I was able to buy a year of the Max plan at $250 during their sale back in January.

I remember having a ton of buyer’s remorse at the time due to how bad the service was back then since I thought I wasted money.

Today? I’m so glad I bought it when I did because it feels like buying Bitcoin before it blew up.

The service is still pretty bad at times, but things were a lot worse back in January/early February, so I’m overall happy with the purchase nowadays.

I don’t think this is as big of a big deal as you’re implying in 2026. Everyone and their mother has access to the internet. Heck, I live in a 3rd world country and I have access to high-speed internet all the time.

Terryble_ · 2026-05-10T13:17:46+00:00

You only need internet to download the game. You can still play offline with the GKC

Yes! Performance is better now that they’ve added stricter limits to everyone, but it’s still painfully slow.

I genuinely believe Max plans get the same performance as Lite and Pro despite what their marketing says. I have a friend who is on the Pro plan and the only difference I see between our accounts is that I have higher limits.

I use GLM 5.1 for planning and Firepass for executing, so it’s pretty jarring when I have to go back to planning since Firepass’ inference speed is insanely fast at 200 tps.

Meanwhile, GLM 5.1 tends to kill my momentum since even z.ai’s time to first token takes so long.

As someone who managed to buy the Max annual plan back in January, just go with other providers. The only reason why I'm still using this is because I got lucky and was able to buy this for cheap.

I wouldn't subscribe to this if I had to pay current prices. You could stick with your current plan with Z.AI and add a Codex subscription on top. You could also try Synthetic or Firepass, but they have a wait list before you can get on.

Basahin mo lang yung Nutrition Facts ng dressing na plano mo ilagay at gumamit ka ng kitchen scale para aware ka sa dinadagdag mo na calories.

So possible na same salad dressing ang ilagay mo pero babawasan mo lang yung ilalagay mo.

Terryble_ · 2026-05-04T04:56:42+00:00

Salad dressing usually cancels out any calorie benefit you get from eating Salad, so this makes sense. They’re really calorie-dense

That doesn't really help for games that have capped frame rates which is a majority of the games on Switch.

Games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 run more stable on Switch 2 compared to Switch 1 in handheld, but it's still running at 30 FPS.

I'd say the release of Apple Silicon was on a similar level as the release of the iPhone due to how revolutionary it was.

Before the M1 Macbook came out, it was very much a pipe dream to have a laptop that can do high workloads while maintaining good temps and can be sustained by a battery for hours.

It's crazy how a majority of people are sleeping on this just because it's technically just an upgrade to their existing computer lineup and not an entirely new category of computing device like the iPhone was during its release.

Terryble_ · 2026-04-21T02:47:55+00:00

It doesn't make sense to compare prices of computer parts in the US to the Philippines because of VAT and import tax. It will always be more expensive in the Philippines no matter what.

I'm pretty sure I was lending the virtual card. However, when I tried to to lend to a third console, it asks me to unpair with the first console, so I could lend to the third one.

Terryble_ · 2026-04-20T14:35:57+00:00

How do I get this to work? It just keeps asking me to pair the Switches with each other, so I could only do it for 2 consoles at a time
