There are countless patches that are never merged for one reason or another, sometimes just because the maintainer doesn’t like the implementation even if it works, so they implement it themselves.

If no code was used, no credit is necessary. She did credit you for testing, which a lot of projects don’t bother crediting. So take that and continue with your life.

okay, still, she didn’t steal anything from you. She didn’t use your patch, that’s all that happened. That’s not stealing.

no, because Leah didn’t use any OP’s code. Leah simply rewrote the patch because it wasn’t working. OP is just mad because he was expecting to get it to work and be merged into the project, but Leah did it first.

Reading Leah’s comments, you’ve been credited for what you did, testing. Your patch didn’t work, she didn’t use it and wrote a solution herself.

Nothing was stolen because she didn’t use your patch.

instead of basing your definition of AI on SciFi, base it on the one computer scientists have been using for decades.

and of course, AI is the buzzword right now and everyone is using it in their products. But that’s another story. LLMs are AI.

whats libreboot? does (what im assuming is) a bootloader really have that much impact on performance after the PC has finished booting?

It’s more a BIOS replacement, not a bootloader. It can have a slightly performance decrease due to lack of optimisation vs the proprietary BIOS.

But the real issue is that Libreboot is supported in a very specific list of motherboards, which means that you don’t get to run the latest hardware.

Last I checked the newer board that supported it was like 4 years old. It might have changed now, tho

I also thought of Unity the DE before reading the article

I understand the confusion. This doesn’t belong to a Linux community. I mean, I see the relation with FOSS but I’m sure there are FOSS communities out there. The article doesn’t even mentions Linux, just Windows and Android.

As you said, there used to be a gap there. Replacing a gap makes not that much harm and people find it useful even in Linux for keybindings. In more of an Alt kind of guy, but Super is also there for more combinations available.

The Copilot key appears to be going were the right Control or right Alt key are right now, so that’s going to be a bother for a lot of people.

because most people are unaware of keybindings and when they inevitable tap on the new dedicated key they’ll probably be shown a subscription screen for Copilot Premium or whatever they call it.

IMO it’s a very disgusting and intrusive way of fishing subscriptions to the AI thing they’ve invested so much money on.

and yet they are still loosing money by running ChayGPT 3.5 for free. I guess that in the future they’ll switch to a local small model in the hardware that is capable enough.

Mostly CMUS. Clementine on rare occasions.

Win, f, i, enter

It’s literally the same with most Linux’s DEs. And even in Window Managers when using dmenu or rofi.

OpenSSH website looks perfectly legitimate. It’s quite similar to the site of the project that brought it to life, OpenBSD.

It’s also a very good looking website, no mobile or material-design bullshit where websites look all the same. It’s a very nice classy looking site.

My system is 7 years old, it wouldn’t be an appropriate comparison. Maybe others can help

there is no chance you would get back to the Intel system and plug it in every 2 hours.

don’t be irrealistic. most laptops in the Macbook price range will have 8 hours of usage in low consumption mode or around 6 or 5 if you need more power.

and at that price point they come with at least 32 GB of RAM which can be upgraded, swappable SSDs with more capacity than the macbook’s, far better keyboard and more ports.

the Macbooks do have some extra performance per battery usage? yeah I guess. But after 2 years that the battery life is gone, you’ll probably be buying the newer model or wishing that you bought a laptop with a replaceable battery.

they are downvoting you, but you’re absolutely right.

they can’t hardly be repaired and it’s impossible to upgrade them at all, even something as basic as swapping the SSD needs desoldering. They are still sold with 8 GB of RAM as the base and they can’t be upgraded.

it isn’t worth it at all.

not OP, but feedly is quite privacy invasive. the content you read is very valuable data, self hosting keeps your reading interests private.

yeah, OP made a big mistake by thinking that an old Apple device is more valuable than a paperweight.

They are infamous because once they reach EOL a perfectly capable device in terms of hardware becomes ewaste because of Apple’s proprietary ecosystem.

if the hardware is compromised, then most phones are since they are all manufactured in China, even Apple’s.
