I mean it's pretty effective, I just close it now instead of waiting. Success!

How it went today 😬
Now have to wait 11.46 seconds, 129% longer than the first access. 17 attempts to read Reddit today on my laptop.

I'm on Reddit a little 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 at the moment. Lucky with AI tools spun up some personal access software. I made a little reddit blocker 🤣 Every time I load it up, it takes 10% longe longer than the previous time.

Yes! I haven't written up the blog post on it yet, but I got 365 5000 meter rows in last year and I'm super stoked :)
Selfie with an activity tracker below of rowing history on my row machine. Each box indicates the amount of 5000 meter rows done that day. Total is 365 over the course of the year

Just finding out that I can run a single GPT command via my terminal. This will be helpful :) Thanks opencode.ai !
Terminal window with the following text:

➜ opencode run "foo foo test test?"

I don't understand what you're asking. Could you provide more details about what you need help with?


~ took 3.4s 
➜ opencode run "I am seeing if you understand me from the termianl. This is my first time trying this out. Does this work? Please respond with a haiku about web development""
➜ 
➜ "

Code flows like water,
Bugs hide in production depths—
Deploy with hope, pray.


~ took 2.9s 
➜ opencode run "I am seeing if you understand me from the termianl. This is my first time trying this out. Does this work? Please respond with a haiku about web development   
➜ "

Terminal connection works,
Code flows like digital streams—
Bugs dance, then vanish.

Open source is so great! I just picked up a PM5 monitor for my row machine, and there was already an easy to use repo on GitHub that was able to connect to the PM5's Bluetooth signal and display the data coming out. #concept2 #rowing #opensource

Just getting into Twitch streaming and the joys of controlling OBS. I'm looking for a way to change scenes on macOS, Raycast has an extension `obs control`. Works alright, but still figuring out how to deeplink an actual scene name. #twitch #obs #raycast

Oh! There's snippets too. Those are super impressive and the same command adjusts based on programming language:
Screenshot of two code blocks, left side is javascript, right side is pythong. Left side reads:

// JavasScript
// "snip cosnt current day" (pause)
// "six pour line this snip print string the current day is" (pause)
// "pour arg bing name prevous line"

const currentDay = 6;
console.log('the current day is', currentDay[]);

Right side reads:
# Pyhton
# "snip cosnt current day" (pause)
# "six pour line this snip print string the current day is" (pause)
# "pour arg bing name prevous line"

current_day = 6
print('the current day is', current_day)

It turns out there is a way I can use Talon Voice on my phone!
