By switching to GPL, they made it impossible for Omarchy (MIT) to use their code.
Omarchy is made by @dhh, a known developer who’s been a target by many left-leaning people for his beliefs.
(yo dhh give me a rt)

> Omarchy releases support for ARM Macs
> 2 days later Asahi Linux conveniently switches to GPL license
rather than improve the project, they sabotage the one that’s actually moving. stagnant for years and still acting like someone cares.

Asahi Linux is moving everything from the MIT licence to GPLv2-or-later.
Asahi is the volunteer project that reverse-engineers Apple Silicon Macs so they can run Linux. In today's Linux 7.3 progress report, developer James Calligeros explains why: people have been using the ake the team's work. "In some extreme cases, in-development feature code was being lifted straight out of our personal forks and published without attribution or lazily rewritten with LLM assistance to obfuscate its origin."
The report points to WINE, which switched from MIT to LGPL in 2002 for the same reason: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
The same report brings real wins too. M3 Macs now install without the EXPERT flag, Thunderbolt support (USB3 and networking for now) is shipping to users, and the team got GTA IV and Fallout: New Vegas running outside the muvm VM using Google's per-process page size patches.

I think i just created the ultimate Duolingo, Quizlet, and Anki killer.
It has everything you need to learn anything…
… and it’s free💀
Should I also make a YouTube video so it explodes even more?

And that's GeoDuels today.
Amazing community, tons of features (not vibecoded btw)
And most importantly, it's still 100% free.
I built it because I wanted a free GeoGuessr, just like you.
If that sounds like your kind of game, give it a try ❤️

Or could I?
Browsers don't let you hide Google's stuff, but extensions do.
So I literally made an extension with one job: hide street names.
And added two ranked modes:
- Moving with street names (for everyone)
- No Move without street names (with the extension)
ez $$$ saved

Custom maps were added next - the most requested thing apart from hiding street names.
Then came:
- Parties and friends
- NMPZ mode
- Cheater detection systems
- Achievements
- Even team-based duel modes!
But one thing remained: I still couldn't hide street names for free.

Players flooded the site and Discord. With 1,000 Discord members, GeoDuels finally had a community that could sustain itself.
The biggest problem was solved: players now had people to play against.
So I kept building, improving GeoDuels with every update.

Unfortunately, the Reddit hype didn't last. Most players tried GeoDuels once, then forgot about it. Player counts dropped, and matches became harder to find.
I needed something bigger to build a lasting community.
So I made a YouTube video about GeoDuels.
It BLEW UP. AGAIN.

Street names. Removing them required paid maps — the very reason GeoGuessr had a paywall in the first place.
Some players hated it. But casual players didn't mind, and many kept coming back.
Still, I knew it was something I had to fix... something I did eventually fix 👀

I built the whole thing in just one month. Then I posted it on official GeoGuessr Reddit. It BLEW UP.
But everyone had the same question: How was it free?
I used so called "Embed Maps" by Google. Official, yet free.
There was just one catch...

1 year ago, I wanted to play GeoGuessr. But it was behind a paywall, and I was too cheap to pay.
So I thought, screw it. I'll make my own.
Today, GeoDuels has 23k players, hundreds of maps, and even tournaments.
And it's still 100% free.
Here's how it all happened 🧵

Harness matters, actually.
After a month on OpenCode, I finally switched to Pi. I basically read this very interesting article that compared various agentic tools, and the conclusion was that Pi is worth switching to if you want an efficient and customizable harness.

GeoDuels - a 100% free GeoGuessr clone I built in my mom's basement 🌎
This is essentially a GeoGuessr but for free. Duels and singleplayer are implemented ⚔️
Seriously. Literally no paywall. All I ask is to try it out :)

I dismantled by table to the ground just to put two rubber bands to hold my USB hub:
one connection for my gaming pc, the other for MacBook with external display

Progress on Distribute v0.3.0:
1 week ago I released my own self-hosted music streaming app :)
You can now swipe between songs. The performance's excellent, just a lil bit warm in hands
I've also updated the UI to more closely match Apple's design, so the app has a better feel

yeah, okay, Antigravity...
I'm doing at most 15 prompts a day with 3 Pro and it has locked me out for 48 hours. Wonderful service.
I switched to Codex today and don't look back. I advise you do the same.

I tried making a Spotify killer in 4 months
They hire THOUSANDS of engineers building a crappy app, pouring billions of $$$ every year.
I made an alternative, completely without budget and for free. Distribute.

In case you missed:
I started making my own free music app! It connects with your home server, and allows playing songs effortlessly (with a slick design too, that's all that matters at the end of the day, am I right?).

This is FUI - Hollywood uses to give an impression that something's really advanced. It looks sick, it's absolutely stunning and I like it.
I made it into reality. Featuring, an open-source admin panel for my music app :)

AI Agents have zero long-term vision.
I tried using them, and they ALWAYS grab the quickest fix to turn errors green now, often ignoring project scale and maintainability. They don't care about your code in 2 years.
You're the one who decides architecture. AI does the chore.

Releasing Distribute in 1 week makes sense, not gonna lie…
It’s sure isn’t ready, but the fact that everyone would have the ability to use it during development is a big deal: 1) understand what users really need 2) easier to fix bugs 3) healthier community
Should I do it?

When I saw 103 files changed in my Git, I thought I for sure tracking build files. But turns out no, I'm rewriting half of my codebase to add offline mode.

Project Distribute, a self-hosted music app that feels premium, but is actually free. I'm making cross-server sync, offline support and a music suggestions algorithm.
The app is currently in closed beta testing, but will come out in early 2026 :D
