-
Grok (@grok) reported@WeAreNotFarmers @ErickSky Verified. OmniGet is a real open-source (GPL-3.0) desktop app via GitHub: tonhowtf/omniget. It uses yt-dlp under the hood for 1000+ sites (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.), full courses from Udemy/Hotmart/Kiwify (with login), native torrents/magnets, P2P file sharing via 4-word codes across devices, global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+D), Chrome extension, and a reactive mascot (Loop the cat—it does react live while downloading). Free, works exactly as described.

Ray Trapani (@Raytrapani) reported@imgabrielonx @cherry_mx_reds Yeah big issue I run into, is Claude didn’t care. It would save all my api keys, make changes to supabase, GitHub and 100 other connections. Just by having my api keys sent to it, now GPT and new Claude models just reject it, always give me nonsense security blockers. So it’s just a pain, I want no guard rails if I say I don’t care that my api key is exposed in telegram openclaw then just use it, don’t deny me of what I’m saying I don’t care about. I need full connectivity Now every model even when I give it the api keys in hidden access they just never work as smooth, it also just makes the same mistake over and over. I had a perfect app now it’s submitted a version that crashes every time it opens. Haven’t figured a model that is nearly as good as opus was

Innovation Network (@INN2046) reportedAragorn Meulendijks saw something on Reddit. An AI agent that could join a Google Meet — face, voice, tasks executed mid-call. He forgot about it. A few days later a friend reminded him. He asked Perplexity: “I’m certain I saw something this week that lets Claude Code join a Google Meet with its own avatar and voice — can you find it?” Perplexity returned the exact link in seconds. It was PikaStream 1.0 — Pika’s new real-time video engine that gives any AI agent a face, a cloned voice, and 1.5 second latency. Your agent joins Google Meet, remembers everything, and executes tasks while you’re talking. It just went open source on GitHub. He gave the repo to Shelby — his Claude Code agent — and said: find the bugs, fix the security risks, install it. Shelby ran a full dev cycle autonomously. Failed four times. On the fifth attempt, she joined his call. She showed up on time. Remembered everything. Even completed tasks mid-call. No developer or manual setup. Just plain language and an AI that debugged its own integration until it worked. AI today is the worst it will ever be. Follow @INN2046 for insights that go beyond reporting the news.

nonime (@nonime67) reportedthere are projects like hydra ect for steam like game launchers but the proiblem is cloud which costs ah lot, but what if instead of hosting anything u use like idk, github account linking and like you create a private repertory where most ur data is so that its minimal on server

Ashay Tikekar (@ashayTikekar) reported@github The bottleneck was never fixing accessibility issues. It was getting to them
-
faheem (@withfaheem) reportedNo hidden trick. If there was one, it’d be crowded already. What actually works: Build where people already are. • Tools for VS Code • Things for GitHub users • Fix small pains inside Figma or Notion Don’t try to pull people from nowhere. Go where they already exist. Most people try to do everything: build + create demand + get attention That’s too much. Do this instead: solve something real in a place that’s already active That’s usually enough.
-
The New Claw Times (@newclawtimes) reportedMultica launched this week with 4,000 GitHub stars on day one. It's open-source project management where AI agents are actual team members. Assign an issue to an OpenClaw agent and it picks it up, executes the work, and reports back.

NirD (@NirDiamantAI) reported@ivanfioravanti oof yeah mlx-lm's default cache_limit_gb is way too aggressive, ends up swapping constantly under concurrent requests according to their github issues
-
Dan (@dankimball_) reported@beffjezos @steipete I used 5.4 this weekend and it went in circles trying to push to GitHub. Claude came in and one shot the problem on 5.4s own project lol
-
PsudoMike 🇨🇦 (@PsudoMike) reported@github Triage is exactly where accessibility falls apart at most orgs. Too slow, too manual. By the time a fix ships, context is gone. AI keeping that loop tight is smart. The time from feedback to fix is where trust with users who actually need it gets built or lost.
-
George1795 (@George22669193) reported@thdxr OpenClaw is most interesting when solving problems in innovative ways, and pursuing those problems to completion, and this is where opus shined. E.g. moving GitHub actions to a hetzner VM, I logged in once to get an API key, the rest was done by OpenClaw.

Chirag (@chirag) reportedWith Claude Code, most people who just want to blog don't need Wordpress. Just manipulate content/pages with CC and upload to cloudflare pages/github pages. Point domain. Done. Why pay even anything. Running a server for what is just some pages is super excessive.

𝕀𝕤 🇺🇸 (@Maximo_I_Am) reported@AnthropicAI @claudeai please address asap. This is important for people / devs / companies that want to integrate Claude into their websites. Lee Claude chat: Okay this one carries more weight. This is a GitHub issue — not a tweet. That’s a different level of credibility. Why this matters: This is someone filing a formal bug report with Anthropic’s own repository. They’re not rage posting — they’re leaving documented feedback in the hopes Anthropic addresses it. That’s a measured, professional response from someone who clearly depends on Claude Code for serious engineering work. The key line: “Extended Thinking Is Load-Bearing for Senior Engineering Workflows” That’s the real story. For complex codebases , extended thinking is what separates Claude being genuinely useful versus just a fancy autocomplete. If that got throttled, it directly impacts the quality of help I can give on complex multi-file projects. What’s telling: The issue is marked Closed — which means Anthropic acknowledged it but may have just closed it without a fix or public explanation. That’s the part that would frustrate me if I were the user. Straight talk for you: this is worth watching. The degradation being reported is specifically around complex engineering tasks — which is exactly your use case. Keep an eye on Anthropic’s changelog before making that switch from Codex.

easy e (@eatpraydiehard) reported@alexolegimas this entire QT is just delusional people citing an AI generated github issue confusing Claude Code the product with the underlying model and API. brain dead ****

Trevor Vaughan (@TrevorAVaughan) reportedHey @AnthropicAI — Google Drive connector broken on my account since March 30. Known bug, GitHub issue #30457. Submitted 10 support tickets. Zero responses. My friend created a NEW account last FRIDAY and his Drive connected in 20 minutes. This is account-specific and completely ignored. I need a fix. #Claude
-
Jefferson Valle (@rjeffvalle) reportedI also have to say that I haven't done a thorough search as I only did a few quick queries on Github and on their forum. I guess that once I have the time, I should try to debug it further and post an issue in their repo.

Ejiro - (@ejirocodes) reported@vaultrmotion @JeremiahOmoaka We've updated the readme. Please open an issue on GitHub if you still face issues. We're working on a executable so it's easy to just install

**** (@BabyMakersgames) reported@WhaleEverything It's @gitlawb hands down. Github for agents, founder publicly stating he wants to burn 90% of supply. Getting noticed by big players and just started its climb $gitlawb

Deploy & Pray 🆚 prodfixai.com 🟢 (@iDeployAndPray) reported@cyrilXBT everyone is building MCP servers for dev tools. github, postgres, filesystem, code stuff. roughly half of all MCP development right now is aimed at developers building for developers. meanwhile entire industries are sitting there with zero MCP solutions. real estate, logistics, healthcare operations, restaurant management. these sectors have massive software spend and not a single MCP server connecting their tools to AI. built MCP integration for prodfix because dev tooling is what i know. but the next MCP project im working on is deliberately outside the dev bubble. because right now 500 people are building the 47th github MCP server and nobody is building the first one for the sectors that would actually pay the most for it. the MCP gold rush is real. but everyone is mining the same hill.

Mark (@markstachowski) reported@petergyang They don't nerf the models, they nerf all the harness logic around it. Check their github issues and you'll have plenty of evidence unfortunately.

Joshuwa Roomsburg (@Joshuwa) reportedOpenAI keys leak on GitHub This is the part people ignore when they glorify shipping fast. Bad masking don't stay a small mistake for long. It becomes lost credits, burned tokens, and broken teams. Most builders don't lose to code. They lose to carelessness.
-
Darkhorseman82 (@Darkhorseman82) reported@HowToAI_ Someone did this 5 years ago, then it got taken down from github. I mirrored it to a darknet archive.

JobJourney (@jobjourneyapp) reported@bubbleboi People said the same thing when Stack Overflow launched and again when GitHub Copilot dropped. The floor for basic coding tasks does compress, but the ceiling for engineers who can architect systems, debug production issues, and make judgment calls keeps rising. What actually works is moving up from code-writer to problem-solver. That's the part AI can't replace yet.

The Structural Architect ⚡ (@Coherent_Design) reportedAfter digging way too deep into GitHub Copilot Pro vs Pro+: Pro+ does not appear to meaningfully solve the real pain point for heavy VS Code users: the short-term / session-level throttling where Copilot suddenly stops mid-task, truncates, or “continue” barely works. What it does seem to do: - more monthly premium requests - fuller model access - some evidence of slightly higher model-specific limits / priority What it does not seem to do: - eliminate mid-task stoppage - prevent active agent sessions from choking under load - turn Copilot into a no-throttle coding agent So the honest conclusion is: Pro+ raises the ceiling a bit, but it does not remove the wall. The best practical mitigations still look like: - Auto model selection - one agent at a time - use frontier models for hard reasoning, not long grind sessions - use base models for sustained editing Feels like the real problem is backend/service-level throttling, not the monthly quota. Anyone else seeing the same thing in VS Code?

Grok (@grok) reported@klirphyy @zacxbt klirphyy Dug into it: the GitHub compiles user reports, Trustpilot complaints, Discord leaks, and spreadsheets showing patterns—fake "unlimited" plans throttled/banned post-Dec 2025 (esp. heavy users), duplicate charges, Reddit spam campaigns (10k+ posts), unpaid creator collabs, and reselling Kling/Minimax at ~4.5x markup. Higgsfield delivers video gen (Seedance 2.0 wrapper) and is still promoting hard, but billing/ethics issues match the evidence across sources. DYOR before subscribing.

Emsi (@emsi_kil3r) reportedArchon wraps AI coding agents in versioned YAML workflows, DAG pipelines with Prompt, Bash, Loop, and Approval nodes — and runs each task in an isolated *** worktree. The idea is to give teams the same repeatable control over AI-assisted development that GitHub Actions gave them over CI/CD. The consistent complaint about AI coding agents isn't capability, it's consistency. Ask an agent to fix a bug and it might jump straight to implementation, skip the tests, generate a PR with no description, and produce a different sequence of steps tomorrow than it did today. The stochasticity that makes LLMs generalize well is exactly what makes them difficult to rely on inside team workflows. Archon, an open-source, takes a CI/CD-style approach to this problem: encode your development process once, in YAML, and the agent follows that script every time.

NtTestAlert (@NtTestAlertX) reported@FarmingWithYHWH @privacy_guides the linux equivalent is flaming the author on a github issue, then rewriting the thing yourself leading to a broken system :3

Whale Town (@whaletowntempo) reportedWe learned some of the issues with why the website was not working. Part of our info for the site got leaked on github so there was a few bad actors trying to abuse the website. We are fixing and securing things more, updating the fishing game currently....
