Still not quite sure how a bloke tinkering away in his office ended up on a list alongside this lot (and right above DHH, no pressure). Properly humbling. Thank you @tcballard — this community has been brilliant from day one. My voice is being heard on behalf of all those with neurological and movement disabilities like mine, and that's incredible.
Omarchy people I’d follow right now. This community is making it increasingly difficult to have a quiet weekend 😅 @NixFred - hosts Sunday Builders Club, ships Infomarchy @ncfrontiersman - co-host, built Omastorm @MichaelGannotti - weekly AI + OS roundup @JamesTervit - writes up every episode @henrikklee - Omarchy on an iPad. Yes, really. Installer on the way @ThePrimeagen - nightly-build QA, every morning at 8 @typecraft_dev - oma-cast, Raycast for Omarchy @JoshuaSWarren - Omarchy on an M6 Mac mini @tahasdx - REEL, which recorded my Orb demo @jrimmer - just shipped Fairfax Task Manager @Ker0Zelvin - first plugin: Synergy clipboard sharing @simonschubert - OmaLauncher, Omarchy on your phone @MarcoPorro - building dock + theme stuff @OldJobobo - themes and wallpapers that keep me changing my desktop @yamzeight - bringing Omarchy to life through video @derekmross - spreading the Omarchy word @NotJustShaking - Lee’s story is why this matters @dhh - made the thing. Look what he started. And me? Breaking it so you don’t have to 😂 Builders, testers, artists, storytellers. Plenty of ways to contribute. Who else belongs on this list? 👀

I thought this was really interesting. I asked my AI to look at my vault and give me a visual representation of what I learn, make, share and live! Pretty interesting! You can read about what I get up to on here shaggyrs6.substack.com/ and here wireddifferently.dev/

The more I mess around with X, Grok, Grokbot, Cursor and all the other little goodies that are being cooked up, the more I am beginning to like what is being done here. It has so much scope to be something truly amazing. I hope they dont F it up! #x #grok #grokbot

Did anyone see the #moon this morning? I was on the way back from the dog park at Stupid O'clock and wow, I dont think I have seen a moon that low, that orange and that big! I actually said "Oh Shit" out loud!

This is what it's all about folks! Well done Katherine!
My first Omarchy contribution (other than the Omarchy-ftrou newsletter): github.com/BlancoKat/omarchy… When I tried to update GrokBot in Omarchy, it couldn't read the update file because it was .rpm, so I asked GrokBot for help. This was the result. Now there's a menu item in the Update section my Omarchy Menu. @dhh @OmarchyUpdates @SundayBuildClub @bot

Having a ton of fun, if you can call it that, testing the Wired Different Vault OS. It’s a ton of work though. Been on this now for 3 months on and off. We are getting close though!

Hey @X! I’m at 843 followers, aiming high to hit 3k 🚀 I’m building ModelMule, a non-profit IRC hub for open-weight local AI models, with a simple interface for people new to IRC. Keep Local AI Alive 🔥 Next up: bringing a GB300 online for compute-constrained folks doing serious AI development. Looking for 600 backers at $1k each to launch with unmetered access ⚡ Help me #connect 🤝 with people who get it: 🦙 Uncensored weights > API keys 🔥 Your GPU is too small and you know it 📡 IRC never died, it was waiting for us 🐧 Omarchy or nothing 🛠️ Building real infra in public Follower count doesn’t matter, good conversations do! ✨ ko-fi.com/modelmule

Wow @jethrojones , thank you for these awesome words, thank you so so much. Your daughter getting started on Omarchy is so good as well! I have a few friends in NJ with downs that I still keep in contact with and they are the kindest and most genuine people I know! Their sense of humor is is off the chart and right up my street!
Love seeing people do things for differently abled folks.

So cool!
The full ModelMule film, 12:48. Every picture, voice line and note came from local models on our own GPUs and Macs. No cloud, no subscription. What ModelMule is, how members back serious compute, and where it goes next. Please give us a repost to help us bring out the big guns. modelmule.com @TheModelMule @ncfrontiersman @NixFred @NotJustShaking @thetundeo @calledtocnstrct @finbar_b @Smeekraft

Introducing Wired Differently - 3 weeks ago this would have been impossible for me, a solo creator with a tight budget. Working with @TheModelMule and @JamesTervit what seemed out of reach suddenly became reality. This all happened because of the #Omarchy @SundayBuildClub

This is the future of making videos locally.
On 12 October we could make about one minute of consistent AI film. Today it is 12 minutes. Same mule in every shot. One narrator. Real-time motion. Made locally, on our own GPUs, with open models. Next: 30 minutes. Then three 30-minute segments for 90, and on to 120.

Just sitting here feeling how much I want to accomplish that needs money and wishing I was not such an idiot when I had a job and bought the following: 1. NAS 2. Better GPU 3. Apple Vision Pro or Samsung Galaxy XR. Regarding No.3 - Why are companies not offering discounts for those with disabilities. Do they not realize how these products in particular could literally change someone's life. That really annoys me.

Current status! Well, it was about 5 mins ago until she heard an electric Amazon Van which she hates!! Two months at waking up at 1am took their toll, add in an anxiety day and Purple the dog was called into action. Pic taken by my wife and AI touched it up! #parkinsons #fatigue

Awesome tool. You should go download it and support its development.
Next up for Omarchy Uber TV: DVR. Record your own shows ! LFG #omarchy @omarchy

I'm building things for #Omarchy and this is my first foray into hardware that can help folks with disabilities or cognitive issues. Of course, this device's use cases reach far beyond that. Read part one of my experience with the #Waveshare device here tinyurl.com/8mnmbxua

I would urge everyone to get behind this. I have had the privilege to have a sneak peak behind the curtains and I will tell you this will be awesome for so many people!!
That's what ModelMule is for: a community for finding and running open models on your own machine, then putting them to work. Video, voice and images for projects like Lee's, plus real hardware tests and honest loading guides. @TheModelMule

Totally off topic, but these things should be illegal, because I now know what being an addict feels like! #missvickies
