My question is just... any advice for a friendly non-technical low-vision new linux guy? or, kind of embarrassing to admit but I'm also hungry for encouragement: is this worth the effort? any cheerleaders care to cheer me on? so far, the emacs journey has felt like it's absolutely rewarded the hours of wilderness-wandering... is it safe to assume that the same dynamic with Linux will reward those timesunk dividends? Is Emacspeak more stable over there? (7/8)

Watch Later is an app I built to keep a list of YouTube videos to watch later without having to log in. It's a decentralized "backendless" web app written in ClojureScript that runs 100% client side and uses the Nostr protocol for storage and sync.

@simon Strange behaviour from Sonnet 4.0 - in the claude.ai chat interface it correctly identifies itself, however through the API or Anthropic console it consistently thinks it is Sonnet 3.5 with April 2024 cutoff.

Maybe it's just my account?
