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.

I’m sorry, but why is this in the Linux community?

sure, Nextcloud is open source, so go and post it in the open source community or in self-hosting.

bluesky depends on one single entity. they promised a lot about their protocol, but they have yet to show that other instances other than the official one can operate in a fully independent manner.

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.

Interesting. I like the UI. I doubt the aesthetic people on Tumblr would like it but that’s not the point.

it’s always welcome to have more options in the fediverse.

How is federation working, BTW? I see you’ve commented from wafrn, are you able to follow Lemmy communities from there?

or you can just take a template, replace the placeholder text and images with your own and you’re done.

most websites don’t come up with their own design, even less scammers. it would be a waste of time

Meta could take over the fediverse pretty easily once they’ve been here for a while.

Nothing, they’re one cog in a pool of federated instances.

Yes, Threads will be technically just an instance of a federated network with thousands of instances. But Threads is so removeding big in comparison that most posts will come from there. And at that point, they can impose their algorithms and recommendations on us.

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.

Firstly: commerzialization will come eventually anyways

And it’s going to make the fediverse way worse.

Secondly: what has all of that to do with democracy? I would hope that the Fediverse thrives to become a democratic place.

I’m not sure I understand your idea of democracy. Isn’t the fediverse “democratic” already? Everyone is free to federate and defederate with anyone.

Also, the Fediverse is currently still rather small. If it should benefit humanity as a whole, you will not be able to avoid corporations completely.

Corporations are not humans. They use us and see us as nothing more than numbers. They don’t give a removed about people or humanity as a whole.

I’ll make sure to block every corp I’m aware of. You’re still free to do otherwise, of course. Isn’t that democracy for you?

Wow, that’s great. Only the thing that our society is based on for last decades with a tradition of hundreds of years. Great, down the toilet with it! Hope you got some idea with what to replace it …

You have idealised liberalism. It only has brought crisis after crisis, provoked unnecessary wars, given birth to monstrous cynical corporations, etc.

I’m not saying democracy is broken, just liberalism and capitalism.

I don’t want to save the liberal democracy, thanks.

Actually, I’d say the fediverse nature is pretty much contrary to liberal values, at least in the state it exists right now with most instances being maintained by volunteers and donations, not corporations (let’s obviate Threads for the moment because there’s no full federation)

I’d say that Threads or the former Twitter allign far better with the values of liberalism, being for-profit private companies.

liberalism aligns with capitalism. most progressives are anticapitalist.

sure, liberals are normally progressives too, the counterpart of the moderates and the conservatives which are all capitalists, but they are usually perceived as not real progressives by the socialists, etc.

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.
