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.

come on, setting up your own DNS is not difficult at all. For my home network, it’s running in a Raspberry Pi, but before that I ran it locally on my desktop. There’s no way I’d spend 15$ a year to resolve internal addresses.

Sure, you have to be careful with the TLD you choose, but I believe that if the ICANN were to create the .lan TLD, it would be all over the internet first.

I think needing a VPN to access the internal network is a good practice. And if you’re going to be used a VPN anyway, I don’t see why you wouldn’t use a “fake” TLD like .lan for internal stuff, after all it’s just simple DNS rules.

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 fucking 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.

the malware has to be very advanced and specifically target your hypervisor version to escape a VM.

in the context of cracked software, it is highly improbable that you’ll find malware with this capabilities.

Both are based on the absurd concept of intellectual property. They are the same cancerous thing that is crippling technological and cultural advancement.

Edit: Seeing your comment history in the piracy community, I don’t understand why you bother commenting. It’s pretty clear that you’re a corpo buttlicker. I’m sure there are communities where youd be better received.

We have lost much having to wait for meds patents or other useful technologies.

And even in the entertainment industry we have probably lost so many masterpieces that could have been inspired by copyrighted material. Of course, that we will never know.

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.
