That’s like eating exactly one potato chip.

Why do people buy organic fruits and vegetables?

I care about where the code comes from. I like the community to come together on a good solution rather than have one spat out of unknown quality. I want to both test and have that community working together towards a common goal. Fundamentally, I think that sharing our answers and cataloguing them as developers is a good strategy. Way better than AI.

If AI is ultimately borrowing its answers from open source, wouldn’t it be better to just go use open source? At least then there’s some hope that if people find issues and edge cases that I might get those fixes in the future. Why limit your upside to zero? Like, I can put my entire program in one source file maintained by just me but it doesn’t mean I should. Is this an argument against why libraries are a good idea?

The behavior is actively endorsed by the platform.

I’m glad you figured it out! Thank you for sharing your solution.

Sounds good! Basically, the problem I had boiled down to a super old driver no kernel dev wants to touch with a ten foot pole and they’re just kinda hoping it’ll die a death to irrelevancy, but there are a few systems out there that do still use it.

The rest of the design moved on to more advanced architecture.

It’s detectors all the way down.

But of course, as a tortoise, you would know that.

I had this problem specifically dealing with the way that IOMMU maps devices conflicting with a really old USB root hub. I had to set something like intel_iommu=off for my case.

Would you be willing to share the output of your dmesg ?

I have a brilliant friend who works there. However, only projects that integrate AI are really getting approved.

Not if I use AI to hide my use of AI first!

Enforcing that ban is going to be difficult.

All great ideas! I use Steam already so I think I’ll configure it with KDE to open it in big picture mode.

Yup. I’m not a fan of it, but the laptop was otherwise a good deal and the oddity of having an AI button wasn’t enough to spoil the bunch. Still weird and kind of creepy though.

I just hope more open phones like the rumored Graphene phone with actually good high-end hardware are out by then so I can leave their ecosystem comfortably. As you wrote, Google has a history of abusive behavior and doing what they want anyway.

Interesting! I learned a new word. And yes, look to Google Chrome’s walking back of blocking ad-blockers to its eventually implementation anyway once people stopped screaming about it.

That’s the problem; handset makers don’t believe you own the phone. They think it’s their phone that you’re paying to use temporarily.

I have family members who can’t change their phone wallpaper through the GUI. Your standards are far too high!

Google has far too much power. We should not be subject to the whims of a company that does not and cannot have our best interests at heart. For this reason, my next phone will be a Fairphone or, I hope, the new Graphene phone when it comes out late next year.

Back in my day, we had this feature on Windows Vista called ReadyBoost that took advantage of the low-latency of flash media to supplement our slow HDDs. I’m not sure if there was a direct replacement for this in the Linux world. There are filesystems that take advantage of faster tiers of storage, but different latency tier exploitation isn’t something that I know to be readily available.

Today, 2GB of USB flash is next to useless, but I would consider a homebrew rescue system to restore your backups and fix problems without needing to prepare an external flash drive.

Mine behaves mostly as it normally would on Windows. KDE Plasma has it open the launcher, and there are shortcuts using it that mostly match Windows. It’ll be highly DE-dependent I imagine.

Now, what to do with the copilot button?
