So, updates since losing this account... Concord was sold in December 2024, I retired in January 2025... and failed. lol! Bessemer head-hunted me onto the Board of Mortgage Automator in July, and September asked me to take over as CEO, and I've been there running things!

I got webhook integrations into Lazy with durable disconnect/reconnect, and easy client auto-updates. It's coming along! Now, I sleep... agents do work! Lazy repo: github.com/last-refuge/lazy/ Site: lazyto.day

Coffee in hand. Time to head back to the bat cave and see what got done overnight. 😂

I bought my daughters new MacBooks for Xmas (shhh don’t tell them) and I’m already thinking about getting their old ones so I can load Omarchy on them.

Kinda cool! I love it... thanks @omarchycentral !
Decades on the Mac, then @jasona switched to Omarchy and started writing the apps he missed. Notes, mail, a Mission Control-style overview, Google Drive sync: mostly Rust and GPUI, all under Last Refuge. Here's the story 👇 omarchycentral.com/news/jaso…

Anthropic continues to slip in these little updates that police and govern beyond basic ethics. This is why we need Google, X, and Meta to continue to build and keep these guys honest. Absolute insanity.
I think I speak for everyone when I say "@AnthropicAI , fuck you and the horse you rode in on." I don't personally care about doing video game rewrites myself. But the whole concept that some busybody can tell me what I may not do with the tool I am paying for is deeply offensive. You will be replaced by open-weight and open-source models. Every asshole move like this makes you more enemies and brings that day closer.

I continue to run and dogfood Overlook, my replacement for Outlook on Linux and Omarchy... it's really come a long way with full IMAP/POP, CalDAV, Contacts and everything in between! I'm working through my silly expensive CASA audit now to get the final approvals for full Google OAuth validation. Source: github.com/last-refuge/overl…

My niche is building on Omarchy to better fit Corporate use as I push from my Mac to Omarchy for daily work... and rewriting anything that gets in my way! This time: SLACK! Slack is fine on Omarchy, but meh... it could be better. And, I'm really tired of the crazy annual license costs, frankly, for a glorified chat app. Enter... Lazy!

Just note that it's still early days, but looking good so far! Excited to continue to build upon this.

I hopped on the Omarchy RC2 train tonight, and wanted to get a breakdown of the changes in it. I thought it might be useful to others! Enjoy! sitepaste.app/jason/glimmer-…

Wow, smart move by OpenAI. Respect.
Day 25/ We are doubling all usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium, effective today. We heard your kind feedback and won’t be reducing usage limits for Pro 200, so your Work and Codex usage will stay the same. We’re also going to continue offering extended limits for dots for now, and usage of your dot will still continue to be separate from your default usage. And we'll of course also keep shipping better models and other efficiency improvements that increase your effective usage over time.

Yesterday I launched The Meter for Brutal Combo. I thought it was an interesting way to surface some of the data as we crawl and index the 30+ video game sources out there. Check it out: brutalcombo.com/meter

Brutal Combo now publishes it's articles to X, which is handy. Give me a follow, if you're a gamer! teapawt.org/brutal_combo

I’m thinking of starting up an Omarchy user group in the Phoenix area! Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll start setting up logistics! #omarchy #phoenix #linux #Tech

Super happy with the site the past few days! Using it for myself, and the backend newsroom is so nice. If you're a gamer like me, give it a whirl! brutalcombo.com
Taking @TimSweeneyEpic thoughts, I'm really tired of getting the site's politics when reading my gaming news... so I fixed that. brutalcombo.com We scour the 'net for all the latest gaming news, and then we editorialize it in our own style. No trash. Just the news.

There's even a little easter egg in there, if you can find it...

Models matter. One of the biggest challenges of rolling out AI company-wide has been people grabbing it, spinning up the fattest model, hitting their limits immediately, and then turning and requesting more. Educating them on which model to use when is hard and important.
