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.

That’s absolutely true. The problem is that, to make use of VPN services, it’s required to have an account or other identifier.

But that’s no true for search engines. If I wanted to, I could make completely anonymous searches using SearXNG or DDG from different IPs and they would not have any way to correlate the search queries.

That’s not true with Kagi and it’s a completely unnecessary privacy risk you’re taking when using it.

copypasting the other comment I made in this thread:

and am I supposed to believe such a bold claim? the only reason they give is “trust me, bro. I pinky promise I’m not logging anything”.

You have one account, every search query you make is associated with that account. And even if they aren’t selling that ultra sensitive data, I’m sure they are keeping logs to prevent abuse and fix bugs which could be used when a third party gains access to their servers (malicious actors, law enforcement, etc).

And that’s assuming that Kagi is not mining and or selling any data themselves, which is a bold assumption given how little we know about their proprietary product. If at least they published the source code, but no. I’m supposed to trust a proprietary black box which could potentially be linking every search query back to me.

most are. just do a side by side comparison. for most queries it’s literally the same results.

I think it was because they dropped Yandex results.

same. specially considering how privacy invasive kagi is.

It is as useless. After all, it’s just Bing. But if the results are good enough for you, then why bother finding something else.

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.

I hope urban community gardens were a thing in my country. It would provide fresh and cheap vegetables and I wouldn’t mind working at it a few hours per month.
