I don’t care if people look at the leaked Windows source code, frankly they should lie about doing so to avoid being sued. I don’t understand what your point is supposed to be.

KDE has nearly all of these now. Not all of them are official Wayland protocols (I think global keyboard shortcuts fall under that umbrella still). Some of the issues you’re complaining about I’ve never even seen a Wayland desktop have (eg not letting you set a window to stay on top, literally every wayland desktop I’ve ever used has had this).

And graphical performance for Wayland native apps has been on par with or superior to xorg for a while, however running software through XWayland does add some latency, so for very fast-paced games running in Wine, X11 is still the move.

Wow. Project that started out by framing itself as the anti-woke X11 server is developed by obnoxious shitheads. Who could Possibly have forseen this. 🙄

I don’t fundamentally disagree with the sentiment, but local models are mostly benign as long as you actually understand the code you’re submitting and rewrite it to remove the slop portions. Plus prohibiting it entirely just means people will lie about using LLMs. I do think Debian should have mandated people disclose whether/how AI was used for any given commit tho

I mean the best local models are only a few months behind the the best proprietary cloud models. Just look at Qwen 3.8 Flash or 27B. Imo local models are more than sufficient if you’re going to use AI for programming. Who cares if the small model can’t oneshot the whole patch, you shouldn’t be submitting raw LLM code to public repos anyway. Imo the only acceptable use of LLMs for coding is as a way of rapidly prototyping ideas that you will later mostly/entirely rewrite by hand, or as an extra static analysis tool for finding potential security holes.

And as someone who frankly doesn’t give a shit about intellectual property over code, my main ethical issue with LLMs is the monstrous resource consumption of hyperscale datacenters, so local models are strongly preferable. Also for privacy reasons.

For hardware over 20 years old? I don’t think the manufacturers planned on it lasting this long lmao

Yeah, I agree. In practice it’s difficult to tell whether or not someone used AI to help them code something (especially if they didn’t just tell the LLM to do everything lmao), so it makes more sense to check whether they actually understand the code they’re trying to commit. That’ll keep out the slop while still letting people use coding LLM agents as a static analysis tool for finding bugs or something.
