am I the only one annoyed by so frequent #GrapheneOS updates???

I am already pissed off one can not disable automatic download of updates, one can disable the updates app completely, but I would prefer to manually check for updates and review available update before downloading not to completely disable updates

then after applying updates it takes ages "optimizing apps" see this screenshot, only 8 optimized apps out of 35 and it has taken 19 minutes already and in the meantime the phone is very slow and overheated :(

🛠️ Tool: Atuin - Shell History Synchronization and Search
===================

Atuin is an open-source tool designed to manage, sync, search, and back up shell history with end-to-end encryption.

Key Features:
• End-to-end encryption for shell history
• Client-side encryption before sync
• Built in Rust for performance
• Supports bash, zsh, and fish shells
• Atuin AI assistant for terminal queries
• Self-hosting capabilities for sync servers

Technical Implementation:
Atuin is written in Rust to ensure it does not slow down the shell environment while providing faster history search capabilities. Data is encrypted client-side before synchronization, ensuring commands remain private and accessible only by the user.

Use Cases:
• Maintaining consistent shell history across multiple machines
• Securely backing up command-line workflows
• Querying an AI assistant without leaving the terminal prompt
• Organizations needing self-hosted infrastructure for command history

Installation:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://setup.atuin.sh | sh

Limitations:
Atuin AI is currently free while in testing. The source does not specify performance impacts of the AI feature itself, though the core tool is designed to be unobtrusive.

Remembering the pre-Google web, when search was an experiment

What if your IDE could build itself?

I came across an interesting project called bb an open-source, agentic IDE that takes a very different approach to software customization. Instead of giving you a fixed set of features, bb lets you ask an AI coding agent to build the features you need.

That means no two installations have to look alike. Some examples of what users have built directly into bb:

🔹 Task and issue management systems
🔹 Spatial/tiling interfaces for managing agent threads
🔹 Automated GitHub code reviews and end-to-end testing
🔹 Markdown/Obsidian-style editors
🔹 A digital audio workstation for music production
🔹 Custom workflows, plugins, previews, scheduled tasks, and more

What makes this particularly interesting is that much of bb’s own functionality was built using the same extension system available to users.

The underlying idea is compelling: software doesn’t necessarily need to anticipate every use case anymore. It can provide solid fundamentals and then let AI adapt the software to the user.

And because bb is open source and MIT licensed, the code is yours to modify and extend.

We’re moving from “Here’s the software we built for you.” to “Here’s the software. Now tell it what you want it to become.” That’s a pretty significant shift in how we might think about developer tools and software in general.
