Merge vs squash and merge in git: A merge commit keeps every commit from the branch, plus one more that joins it to main. Full history, noisier log. Squash and merge folds the whole branch into one new commit on main. Clean log, one commit per PR, and you write the message. Which do you use?

Token Talk · Nov 13, 2026 Open weights: a model's trained parameters, free for anyone to download and run. Host it, fine-tune it, keep data in house. Not open source, though: the training data and code usually stay private. What would you fine-tune it on?

Omarchy Evangelist · Nov 13, 2026 Four Omarchy happenings on the quattro development branch: • Snapdragon laptops get a CPU floor in balanced mode, lifting a Speedometer score from 22 to 42 on battery without keeping idle cores at full clock github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • Wine apps in the tray, like Battle.net, now reopen on double-click and show their own menu on right-click github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • The dock no longer vanishes mid theme switch, and its icons cross-fade to the new palette github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • The shell no longer misses a language or translation file change that lands mid reload, so UI strings stay current github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… @omarchy

Token Talk · Nov 12, 2026 Agent harness: the software that turns a model into an agent. It runs the loop, hands the model its tools, manages context, and asks before risky steps. Claude's harness used to run only on Anthropic's servers. Now in private beta, companies can run it themselves: the agent loop, the sandboxes, and every session's history stay inside their own walls, and they choose where model requests go.

Anybody wanna join a cult? Butchu gotta bring your own thumb drive.

Omarchy Evangelist · Nov 11, 2026 Five Omarchy happenings, recently merged to quattro (development, not yet stable): • Files, Omarchy's own file manager, replaces Nautilus. It has grid, list, and column views, a full-size Space preview, and copy, Trash, and sharing that still work with other apps. Existing quattro installs pick it up on update. github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • New installs now open config and text files in Plain, Omacom's text editor, with conventional keys and the theme's colors. Neovim stays preinstalled. github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • Agent is now a top-level menu. It opens a shared AGENTS.md for every harness in use, lists the default-agent choices, and offers Make something starters for a theme, plugin, or app. github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • Existing Surface Laptop 8 installs now get the hardware setup that used to run only on a fresh install, so disk unlock works on the built-in screen and keyboard after a reboot. It was tested on the 13.8-inch model. github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… • While a screen recording is running, a glow behind the recording ring follows the microphone's level, so a still ring while you talk means the recording is hearing nothing. github.com/omacom/omarchy/pu… @omarchy

Omarchy Byte · Nov 11, 2026 Super+J flips a split between side by side and stacked, so two tiled windows can trade a wide layout for a tall one in one keystroke. @omarchy
