That's not the purpose of the trick. The purpose is to soften the blow for turning off support for OpenClaw and other third party connectors. Now to use OpenClaw et all you'll have to pay at extra usage pricing, it won't count against your normal quota.
I'd actually be happy with this if they turned OpenCode support back on.
I extensively tried to use this and couldn't get it working. I'm running CC from a docker container and mostly use it from a web interface, but even setting it to just give a url, and using CC from the terminal, it would just not hook in correctly
You can use Opus with OpenCode anytime you want, just not with the Claude plan. You can use it via API with any provider, including Anthropic's API. You can use it with Github Copilot's plan. The only thing you can't do without getting banned is use OpenCode with one of Claude's plans.
If you want to use Opus with a different coding harness along with a coding plan, you can use Github CoPilot. It even has built in authentication with OpenCode.
The value proposition is that the people selling it are telling the buyers that trans and gay people will corrupt their children. Not that it might turn out their children are trans or gay, but that trans and gay people will cause them to be trans or gay. Amp this up with hoaxes like schools having cat litter boxes for children who identify as cats.
When I'm trying to focus on something I have Messenger.com installed as a desktop app, so I can see when my friends message me without seeing a slew of FB notifications. facebook.com/messages has the notifications, there's no way to turn them off. This move feels like FB is trying to force me to choose between their engagement bait and seeing messages from my friends.
I bought a used Nissan Versa from Hertz and regretted it immensely. Not only did the CVT transmission go on me (it took a while for my year's class action lawsuit, but they did offer me ... $1k on a new Nissan. No thanks), but Hertz is terrible at their maintenance and uses the cheapest parts possible.
The only good thing about Teslas from Hertz is that there aren't any third party parts to cheap out on, but I still wouldn't trust a Tesla that was maintained by Hertz.
