Are you relying on long-term savings to keep you afloat?

Are you not concerned with ageism?

I was 46 when I got my first and only job at BigTech, I was 49 when I was Amazoned and had two offers, a side contract and a former coworker who is now a director at a well known non tech F500 company who was willing to create a role for me to be over their cloud migration and modernization strategy.

I was 50 the next year when I had a job within three weeks after spending a year at the shitty company I chose (I wanted to stay in consulting and didn’t want to work at $bigCompany again). I just responded to an internal recruiter who reached out to me a couple of days prior (dumb luck).

I’m much more worried about the state of the industry and current employment market which affects people of any age.

My other secret weapon is that I found out from a former manager/now friend that most non Black people have no idea how old a Black guy is once he shaves his head and face. Like Bill Burr said I think it’s the lotion…

And my resume only hoed back 10 years

Yes. Many people are migrating to it.

Bitwarden. You can host a free instance with Vaultwarden.

> restricting features like TOTP (BitWarden free tier) rarely entices the average person to get a paid plan.

TOTP on Bitwarden is $10 a year.

> It's a shame that the free/cheap password managers that regular people would use (like those by Apple, Google) seem unwilling to loosen their platform lock-in, and others like 1Password mainly target business use and are too expensive for the average joe to bother. So decades and dozens of new auth standards later we are still in a place where people use the same password on all accounts and write it down on post-its.

Bitwarden is free and easy to use.

Bitwarden is superior, especially for syncing between desktop and mobile devices.

The fork happened when one acquired Wordle and expanded its daily games, and the other didn't.

What privacy? If you're using ChatGPT or Claude, your chats are still logged.

It's local, meaning it uses local models, what they said in the sentence prior to the privacy one.

Unless you have unusually powerful hardware, local models will unfortunately currently not really cut it for Moltbot.

OP implied they have powerful enough hardware, since Kimi runs on their computer, so that is why they mentioned it is local. That it doesn't work for most people has no relation to what OP of this thread said. Regardless, you don't need an Opus level model, you can use a smaller one that'll just be slower at getting back to you, it's all asynchronous anyway compared to a coding agent where some level of synchronicity is expected.

GGP seem to be under the misapprehension that privacy is a core aspect/advantage of OpenClaw, when for most users it's really not.

So yes, I think the majority user experience is very relevant.

This thread is about giving one's opinions on their personal experiences with the tool, so the OP of the thread can say whatever they want, it doesn't mean they think it's at all related to the "majority user experience" nor do they have to cater their opinions towards that.

GLM 4.7-flash does very well although OpenClaw has some work to do for CoT.

From what I've read, OpenClaw only truly works well with Opus 4.5.

The latest Kimi model is comparable in performance at least for these sorts of use cases, but yes it is harder to use locally.

> harder to use locally

Which means most people must be using OpenClaw connected to Claude or ChatGPT.
