A belfry is a symbol of the sovereign collective: “Where a cathedral spire represented the Church and a castle keep represented the lord, the belfry represented the commune — the self-governing town. Building one was an act of civic emancipation, an architectural declaration of independence from feudal and ecclesiastical authority. The bells rang on the town’s own schedule, the archives proved the town’s own rights, and the silhouette on the skyline said: we govern ourselves here.” image

macOS is the best OS for humans. Linux is the best OS for agents. Instead of an easy to use but limiting GUI, text files everywhere to configure everything. A nightmare for humans, heaven for LLMs. I've been using Claude to configure my machine and it's been (mostly) great. Not perfect, but very promising. I wish someone would train a small open source model dedicated to help you configure your Linux environment. This would be perfect.

Anthropic is the Apple of LLMs. They want to have a tight control on their ecosystem to ensure prime user experience for normies. The “it just works” experience. Claude Cowork is a great example of that. Claude is the M5 in an iPad.

The deno node runtime is actually a very good solution for the supply chain attacks we've seen recently in the npm world as it allows you to define a whitelist of domains that your code is allowed to call. But somehow it doesn't seem to be getting much traction. Looks like bun is the new node runtime that people use. Why?

It's annoying that Apple Hardware is so much better than anything else. It's not even close. I don't want it. I want a proper Linux machine. This would be a good EU regulation: force all manufacturers to play friendly with the open source communiy.
