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.

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.

it’s probably some sort of Snapchat automatic alert detecting the words bomb or Taliban.

but if they have all that disabled, they probably have their ads disabled too, which means they are not making Brave any money. So they don’t care.

If we had a working alternative to Android as a whole, we would surely use it. But Linux on mobile works only in few devices and not flawlessly at all. But for the Chromium monopoly we have an actual alternative that works.

yeah, the most shady part of this is that SimpleApps’ code was available in Github. They could have just used that and upload it to the Play Store.

why did they buy it from the developer instead? because thousands of people already had these installed, so when buying it from the developer they get to push their new, ad infested versions to the unwary users had the apps installed.

This is a very dark pattern IMO.

Not even close. This has nothing to do with SimpleApps.

A crappy company bought them from the original creator and maintainer. This company is well known for buying mildly popular apps and inserting ads in them for monetisation.

People who downloaded them from F-Droid should be fine tho.

There are a bunch of good FOSS Lemmy clients, which I’d argue are as good as Sync or Boost (I can’t know for sure since I don’t use proprietary software, I judge by the screenshots).

Jerboa sucks, I’ll give you that. But both Voyager and Eternity are high quality clients that work amazingly well and are constantly updated. They have plenty of features and are very configurable.

Neither boost or Grayjay are FOSS. You’ve got it all wrong.

As always, use free software. Look for Lemmy clients in F-Droid. Voyager is a good one.

1 MB per day is more than enough to phone home.

The title seems like clickbait tho.

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.
