Pi is not "some mayfly LLM third-tier coding agent" - in the brief research I've done, it's the best positioned to survive: it's small and the creator has shown good taste (something that can't be said about the creators of Claude Code).
Huh. The person you're replying to specifically mentioned they connect to the same tmux session from different computers. Niri is great, but how's it relevant here?
Likewise you haven't disproven my thesis that China is not closed to immigrants.
A good friend of mine (white European) was approached by a Chinese company and now works in China. I'll ask him how hard the paperwork was the next time I meet him, but I have a feeling his employer did the bulk of it.
> It's like bragging that you took 10,000 steps to reach the store by walking in circles when you could have taken 500 steps if you just walked straight. The end result is the same.
The case is different with LoC though: the more the worse. I'd much maintain the thing written in 500 lines than the one written in 10,000 lines.
> China is not very immigration friendly to non-han folks
What do you mean? I've never been to China, but know quite a few non-han white Europeans who lived there for both shorter and longer periods of time. Some studied, others worked there.
FYI the name is Mario Zechner[0]. I'm also grumpy and old and also use Pi for the same reasons as you. I also use an OpenAI subscription (the models aren't entirely bad), but am ready to jump ship to OpenCode Go or GLM Coding Plan any minute. And I've been watching the Claude Code shitshow with glee!
> As long as they refuse to support installing on Ubuntu (and other popular distros), without relying on the distro repos which are always out of date, they will continue to lose to Docker.
Your needs are incomprehensible to me: that is exactly why I use podman: a predictable version of it is in my distro's repos.
I go to docker.com and how do I even install the thing? What's "docker sandboxes"?
Get the latest version of docker? Why would I want the latest version? I don't want the latest version, I want the same version as my other machines have, so things work everywhere. And I usually don't know what version that is. But I sure do know what Debian version my other machines run!
Again, your needs are utterly incomprehensible to me.
