i feel like using GNU stow to manage your dotfiles has always been a hack.. has it ever been a supported usecase?

stow is an indispensable tool for me to manage /usr/local for manually installed software. my workflow goes:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/myapp
  make && make install
  stow myapp
now, myapp and all its supporting files are in the right place in /usr/local. if i want to "uninstall", i just run

  stow -D myapp

so even with a new tokenizer that can map to more tokens than before, their answer is still just "you're not managing your context well enough"

"Opus 4.7 uses an updated tokenizer that [...] can map to more tokens—roughly 1.0–1.35× depending on the content type.

[...]

Users can control token usage in various ways: by using the effort parameter, adjusting their task budgets, or prompting the model to be more concise."

so just like how every chat app has to look like slack, every ide has to look like vscode, now every agent workspace has to look like the codex app? codex app, antigravity, and now this all have the exact same UI design...

i completely agree. for me, the only issues i've had with appimages are "housekeeping" UX:

* i know they can technically be updated but i really have no idea how. would be cool to see a de-facto solution similar to sparkle[0] on mac

* i use appimagelauncher[1] to integrate with my menus etc but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't? i haven't really figured out the rhyme or reason
