Tech PM by day. Open Source, AI, Omarchy by night.

Happiness: an old laptop with keyboard backlight in soft, effortless sync with Omarchy themes.

The fact that in @omarchy everything is stored in configuration files makes it so easy to build on orchestration layer on top.

I'm now at 5 computers sharing 99% of the same packages and configuration settings. The last 1% is essentially composed of fine-tuning and hardware differences.

[Aurelien Navarre @anavarre]

The beauty of @omarchy is that it entirely changes the way you think about computers.

Remember this @xkcdComic? Now the joke is about the sandwich.

@NixFred Lost mine to Alzheimer’s last July. Can definitely relate. Hang on, this is very tough.

Installed Omarchy on an old ASUS ROG Strix G15 (G512LV) gaming laptop tonight.

Took 7 minutes. Fan got a little crazy, which I fixed with: powerprofilesctl set quiet

Apart from that everything worked smoothly 👌

@ToniRMCardoso @omarchy It’s out https://t.co/YFR3WveIiV

New @omarchy plugin incoming!

Lightning is a blazing fast launcher to get to any URL with a keyword. Placeholders allow you to load specific pages.

Access any page instantly via a keyword. Use one or more placeholders to craft a dynamic page.

The thing I’m most grateful to Elon for is bringing back an age of wonder and excitement to humanity. That was jaw-dropping awesome! Screams and mouths wide open in the audience. Nuts.

Simple, but awesome things that I was able to do with @bot

➡️Complete Instagram strategy for growing my wife's business. 23-pager with comprehensive publishing schedule, hooks that match her style/tone, second-by-second shots for reels. That's Senior Community Manager type of work that went way beyond her expectations.

➡️Real estate bot to find our next house with high signal-to-noise ratio and daily summary of new properties. It even found houses that we had never seen before!

➡️Migrate my 2000+ @hypothes_is highlights to @raindrop_io and have it manage which links and highlights existed in the destination. Took 5mn🤯

➡️ Pre-filled long and boring Gov form to report scam. Finds all details automatically so I just need to hit Enter (because I want to).

[Aurelien Navarre @anavarre]

Omacut continues to improve.

➡️ Smoother file drops: Dragging in several files now adds the ones that open and skips any that don't. The app tells you how many were skipped.

➡️ Add videos to an edit: Dropping new videos into an edit adds them instead of replacing what you've already built.

➡️ Separate work per video: When you work with several videos, each one keeps its own edits, exports, and thumbnail strip.

➡️ Clips reorder and split more naturally: You can split and splice clips, drop videos onto the timeline, and arrange clips in any order.

Beautiful boot/theme intros coming to Omarchy.

Great work by AIR member @yamzeight.

[Omarchy @omarchy]

Omarchy is getting a per-workspace or global option to run as a traditional desktop with a dock. Great set of training wheels for anyone new to tiling window managers who need a safe space until it clicks!

Comes with Alt+Tab, minimization, left/right/top/bottom positioning.

[Aurelien Navarre @anavarre]

Tried Strata. Love at first sight!

Would love for this to be the @omarchy default.

Here's a command that lets you stage Git changes while viewing word-level differences:

git -c interactive.diffFilter="delta --color-only" add -p && git add -p

I wrapped this command in a Bash alias named 'padd' so I can easily use it on demand without changing my default Git settings 👌

(Requires the git-delta package on Omarchy)

@davidfano True. But Product people too should think like engineers. It's not about lanes anymore, it's about the value that you bring towards the desired customer outcomes.

[Aurelien Navarre @anavarre]

It takes a high degree of dogma to flat-out reject AI-assisted contributions simply because they weren't written line-by-line by a human.

When passionate contributors care enough about a project to spend their own time and money burning tokens to submit a fix or feature, blanket rejections only lead to deep frustration and confusion.

If popular open-source maintainers continue to bury their heads in the sand, I expect we'll see major forks in the very near future.

[Aurelien Navarre @anavarre]

When I see the work that @derekmross @jelgum98 and @Cube_Oakley are doing to get Omarchy on the phone, I'm inevitably brought back to the topic of phone / desktop convergence which started to look possible in 2020 with https://t.co/F46KbOfQJU

Imagine plugging your phone to a random external display with a mouse and keyboard, and you start working as if you were in front of your own computer.

With Omarchy, more than ever, I believe we'll make it happen. Who else is working on this?

I’m no longer sure what “intellectual property” means when intellect becomes free.
