So this thing, has been turned on once from brand new. It was an old work Laptop that I never used. It's been sitting in my garage in it's case for about 11 years. I'm going to see if it will take the #Omarchy treatment! (Gotta charge it first!)

I have to accept defeat on the IBM. The T2400 is 32-bit, so this Omarchy installer won’t run on it. Reports of working T60s likely involve a different or upgraded processor. The USB-detection issue is separate, but fixing it won’t overcome that limit. So we move onto the Chromebook!

I had my pain doctor this morning. I told her about the Diazepam I was taking, and she was not happy that it was like a 2019 prescription. Anyhooo, the point was, she rattled off a ton of alternatives, that there is no way on this planet I would have remembered. So I called my Dot, she had no idea. So she and my Dot, had a 5 min conversation about the alternatives, my Dot was asking her questions that it knew about my health, and she was responding back with the why she was suggesting what she was suggesting. It ended with Dot agreeing that I needed to speak to my Primary care guy, Dot then put a reminder in my Calendar. I then asked her, do you know who that was? (I have the British Vale Voice as my Dot) she said, yeah, wasn't that your wife? She sound very clued up about what we were talking about. I then told her it was my AI assistant, and she was absolutely amazed. She had no idea! My trip to the docs then turned into a 20 min show and tell to the other doctors about what just happened! Was pretty awesome seeing their faces! #chatgpt #dots @thsottiaux

Well this is interesting!! Shiny thing found!!
What even is OpenBot? It’s a free, open-source Grok Bot alternative that runs locally on your machine. Create AI teammates, give them jobs, and let them work for you.

Tuesday's #Substack article is live I Wanted #GrokBot to Know Where I’d Left Off - I introduced an AI assistant to my notes. Then it gave me a job I had already finished. Full article is here - tinyurl.com/3urzudyb

This is what I like to see. I followed Patrick, He gets my vote!!
Hi, I’m Patrick 👋 Tech lead by day, indie maker by night in Germany. Time to stop lurking and start building in public. Expect side projects, AI/dev workflows, terminal tools, and the realities of going independent, german bureaucracy included. Let’s connect. What are you building?

I have gotten so many followers overnight. Just a huge amount, well for me at least. I am trying to follow everyone back but I have been rate limited. Will resume again once that is lifted!

Awesome!!!
Omarchy Mobile now has a home: omamobile.org Native Omarchy on phones: Arch Linux ARM, Hyprland and Omarchy's own apps on a mainline Linux kernel. No Android underneath. No Google Play. On the Pixel 7 Pro, 19 of 22 hardware parts work today: display at 120Hz, GPU, touch, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cameras, GPS, fingerprint unlock, NFC, charging and more. Modem and suspend are next. Now I need help bringing it to more phones. Community ports are underway for the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 8 Pro, 9a and Fold, plus the OnePlus 13 and the POCO F3. The wanted list includes the Pixel 7, 7a, 6a, 8, 9, 10 and Tablet. If you have an unlockable phone and want to learn kernel bring-up, this is the project. Stock Android stays on slot A and your calibration data stays read-only, so it's built to never brick your phone. Point your agents at the repo, connect your phone to your computer, and let the tokens flow.

Ok, I'm officially stuck with the ThinkPad. The Chrome book needs me to unplug the battery so I unlock the firmware, or make it so i cant write to it, thats a job for tomorrow. The ThinkPad though, I cant get it to boot to my USB stick. I;ve tried to trouble shoot with my agent but no bueno. If anyone has any ideas let me know!

I think I’m finally getting past some of the nervousness and anxiety around talking to people. The more conversations I have, the more I want to have. So, if you’re curious about how I use #AI, #Obsidian and #Omarchy, come and have a chat. I’m happy to show you what I’m doing, what helps and what’s still a work in progress. You might have cognitive challenges of your own, or you might just be interested. Both are welcome. You don’t need to be technical or have a project ready. Free, informal, 30 minutes. Just a chance to talk and compare notes. calendly.com/shaggyrs6/30min

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? 👀

#Chrome crashes and freezes on my #Omarchy PC coincided with #NVIDIA memory-mapping errors. I updated the BIOS and enabled Resizable BAR, increasing the GPU’s BAR1 window from 256 MiB to 16 GiB. No crashes or freezes reported since. Promising so far—not yet a proven permanent fix.

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/
