Not a user script, but the LibRedirect extension does most of that already

https://libredirect.manerakai.com/

I think it doesn't check whether the chosen instance is up before redirecting, but switching to another one if that one is down is a single click.

The LibRedirect browser extensions lets you configure a list and quickly hot between, but it doesn't check whether they are up before redirecting you to one of them iirc

LibRedirect kind of does so, it's not 100% there yet

I moved to self hosted Vaultwarden (Bitwarden server reimplementation that's client-compatible). You can also directly run Bitwarden, but Vaultwarden is easier to self-host, especially OIDCwarden is nice if SSO is your cup of tea.

I don't like Bitwarden's UI as much as 1Password's, but at least it feels faster.

Hahaha this explains so much. I can really imagine how this might have the opposite effect from what they hoped for...

Thanks! I've been using happier, but this looks maybe even better

yes! and this is sooo weird given that Opus 4.8 or 5 producing this are supposed to be "smart" models – how far into the benchmaxxing do you have to lean to get to this point?

> …and it's fun. I'm enjoying working with Ox in a way that I'm just not enjoying talking to the 5.0 Anthropic models

hard agree. it does not really feel "smart", but the personality is super refreshing

yes, this seems sadly very true for me, too.

In some ways, it feel like I'd be "stuck" at my 2024 capabilities if I didn't push myself constantly, and I'm really glad for every hour I spent learning/applying new stuff before that, because now it feels way harder.

definitely worked for us, switching because of the insanely bad prose from Opus 5 & the current OAI pricing

yes, it meaningfully reduced my happiness at work

just reading this comments made me despise the fact that I have to read this shit again tomorrow

It's really time to move to OpenAI...

For me it's less about understanding, it's that I have to read this "vomit" the entire day, every day. Coding used to be fun, using AIs to code was fun to me, too, but this dense, pseudo-jargon language with many repetitive phrases, uninspiring grammar, all while being super inflated in length just gets to me, so any solution is appreciated.

Opus 5 feels like it's meant to be used as a very focused subagent under Fable, not user-facing. Which is a downgrade to what Opus used to be, but would imo absolutely have made sense for Anthropic when you consider that we all should have been paying API pricing for Fable in Anthropic's original plan.

From the capabilities side it's similar, so it's basically just an upsell to Fable 5 if you want to keep your sanity instead of fighting Opus 5 all day.

for me it feels very similar to the trends already apparent in 4.5-4.8, just way, way worse.

nice Rust-inspired syntax, although if the main selling point is choreography here, that isn't featured enough on web page or README. Needs more examples/explanation of how that works.

Promising insofar as all of the essentials seem to be right (for me): compiled, good type checker, no garbage checker etc.

https://starling.build/why this page explains the design rationale better than the landing page imo (if you can get over the LLM-isms on either)

Flutter for the DE and Swift as the "frontend" for Flutter for widgets instead of Dart – cool work.

There is Redlib[0], an open source alternative Reddit frontend, with many public instances[1], e.g. https://redlib.catsarch.com/

There is also LibRedirect[2] (or PrivacyRedirect, although I for one have no experience with that), a browser extension that automatically redirects reddit.com URLs to your Redlib instance of choice (it also does the same for other platforms, configurable).

MCP where? /s

Overall, sensible take.

I think Linus' position even pre-LLM-coding – basically not trusting any code he gets, and not writing any code himself, just reviewing a ton of it – is strikingly similar to how most people now do "software engineering" (or vibe coding/agentic engineering or whatever you want to call what we're doing nowadays).

From his perspective, the only things that changed is that he can more quickly/better review code and find bugs, and maintainers below him are somewhat more annoyed due to the influx of AI slop.

We regulate the platforms, not the users: We ban (most? all?) targeted advertising. If we still have to go further, we force tech giants to publish their recommendation algorithms and aggregated user data (e.g. statistics about time spent on what types of content on the platform by user cohort) If we still have to go further, we can adapt policy restricting concrete addictive usage-patterns (e.g. the infinite scroll proposal recently discussed here[1])

On an unrelated note: yes, I also don't understand how this incident has to do much with social media bans…

> Just because there are adults with full agency that do the wrong thing, doesn't mean we should remove protections on young people. Just because adults with full agency drive recklessly, doesn't mean we should allow 13 year olds the ability to drive.

also agree wholeheartedly.

"ledger" for me – used extremely rarely pre-LLM and Claude just loves it
