@johnrushx @Replit I'm pretty sure Assistant is dead. Agent got cheap enough it was no longer a good choice.

43/ @Replit AI - most advanced AI Agent for coding imho - has two modes: Agent or Assistant - true full stack app generator. Has its own server, db, hosting... Here is the real app I built using it seobotai.com/broken-link-ch…

I've tested all ( 82 😵‍💫 ) Vibe Coding Agents & IDEs (Cladue Code, Emergent, Anima, Zed, Factory, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, MarsX, Canva, Devin, Github Spark, Vercel, Rork, Warp, Figma, Cline, Vibe Coder & more) Video demos & my notes for each:

@joesegal @mattyp Were you asking me? I could certainly take a look!

@herzigma @mattyp Thats a great idea! Do you offer repair services, not sure what else to call it. To rescue an app that's in trouble etc?

Here's everything we shipped at Replit in 2025 blog.replit.com/2025-replit-in…

@GergelyOrosz Thank you for doing this. For those of us who love reading your writing (and that of others!) but who don't want the mediocre social network, it was terrible.

Substack told me they rolled this back for me after my complaint. They did not explain why they rolled it out without informing me. Or why they built it in the first place - given this change would turn Substack from a newsletter platform to an an app (those not downloading the app cannot access the full newsletter issues they pay for)

I love Substack. Always have. Their team is great. But a silent change could force me off the platform if it stays. They broke email. My paid subscribers cannot read today's paid newsletter on mobile without downloading the Substack app. @substack: roll this back. Now.

@ammaar I've built a bunch of games now. Three are working great monster-rally.jhm.lol cometpede5200.jhm.lol humdoodle.jhm.lol And a few have been stymied. Happy to talk about my experience.

We're cooking up a fresh new design for AI Studio! ✨ And we'd absolutely love your input. If want to test an early prototype and share your thoughts on a call, just drop a reply below! Your feedback will help us shape it.

@ammaar I'm a heavy @Replit user but built my first app today. Happy to try out the new experience.

If I was Lego, I would release a special set of Jimmy Carter building a house for Habitat for Humanity and raise the age to 100 just for that set. All profits go to Habitat for Humanity. Total missed opportunity.

@hover Please please please support HTTPS for subdomain forwarding. I'm sure there are technical reasons why it's hard, but other services will do it, and you're otherwise so convenient.

@jdunwell This is a very reasonable response. I don't think it'll be popular on this platform.

As many of you have become aware, last week a display was erected at the Iowa Capitol by the Satanic Temple of Iowa. As I have responded to concerns from Iowans about the display, I wanted to share with you how the display came to be and my response. How did it happen? • The Capitol structure falls underneath the control of the Iowa Legislature. The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is charged with the management. • Currently, access for displays at the Capitol are open to anyone through an application process. Though there are some guidelines, they do not discriminate on the basis of religion or ideology. • Displays are permitted to be displayed for two weeks. • All displays are required to communicate they are an independent display and not to be associated with the State of Iowa. • The Satanic Temple petitioned for their display in August and were approved with some modification. They wanted to use an actual goat head (I’m assuming a skull) and we’re prohibited from doing so. • The Iowa Legislature can set the rules and standards for any display. The current operating principle has been to either allow all displays or none. The Legislature has the power to change it if they deem necessary. My Observations and Response as an Iowan, State Representative, and Pastor. • My observation as a follower of Christ, I certainly find a display from the Satanic Temple objectionable. It stands in direct opposition to my faith and would be classified as evil. Not a new experience for me or my family. The Word of God continually warns about the dangers in our world. In fairness, many other religions or nonreligious people have the same perspective about Christianity. • My observation as an Iowan and a State Representative, I don’t want the state evaluating and making determinations about religions. I am guided by the First Amendment of the US Constitution. • My response as a follower of Christ… o The display is an inanimate object that has no real power in and of itself. We have nothing to fear. o Oppose the message of the display. It is not just another way to worship the same god. There are DIFFERENCES that need to be pointed out. The display glorifies the evil influence we oppose. o The primary response required is prayer. o The display itself is an invitation of the work we have yet to do. Iowa needs Jesus. o The display provides a teaching example for our families of the difference between the person and work of Christ and that of Satan. (Love, light and sacrifice compared to a dark, foreboding creature). o My faith is never imposed upon others, nor should it ever become a direct part of government. It is always a response to the person and work of Jesus Christ. I don’t want to mix the kingdoms! Government is a poor arbitrator of religion. o Take full advantage of the opportunities to express our faith in appropriate displays and programs at the Capitol. • My response as a State Representative o Review the guidelines to ensure they represent our constitutional rights. o Monitor the the number of organizations requesting displays. I don’t want the Capitol to be overwhelmed by displays. In the future, we may need to find ways to appropriately limit the number of displays. o Continue to dialogue with other elected officials and Iowans on this issue.

19. Maddeningly, much of Israeli media describe him as killed "accidentally" or as victim to "friendly fire." He was deliberately executed by uniformed neonazi douchebag who was too hyped up to stop, and, in his own words, all so hyped to mark an "x" on his rifle.

@matthewstoller I think about wbur.org/onpoint/2023/0… all the time.

Today the U.S. can produce around 30,000 artillery shells a month. In 1995 the army could produce 867,000 shells a month. gao.gov/assets/nsiad-9…

Solid list. The author must be exceptionally good-looking (and dedicated to the preservation of American democracy)

@hahauenstein Meanwhile Ben Gvir is mad becauythey don't let him in the war cabinet and no one in his security cabinet takes him seriously any longer.

"We are now actually rolling out the Gaza Nakba," says Avi Dichter, Israel's Minister for Agriculture and former head of Shin Bet.

@Commsor I signed up for the beta and am super excited! Any tips or tricks for getting higher up the list? 😉
