To be fair, your username kind of suggests you want to look inside everything anyway

Totally valid, I love Apple trackpads, makes PC laptop trackpads pale in comparison

Having used Apple computers since the Apple II+, I think I’m allowed to say that the vast majority of Apple’s mouse designs have been utter trash. The one that I might give a pass to is the ADB Mouse 2. I’m not expecting Apple to change the habit of a lifetime by designing a comfortable mouse.

BTRFS, wasn’t that Dennis Rader 🤔

That’s awesome!

In that case it should be the original on the Amiga 500 😄, but I still prefer the improvements in Civ 2.

Civ 2 is still peak for me, although I did like Leonard Nimoy’s contribution to Civ IV.

Time to ditch the Guy Fawkes mask for a powdered wig instead

You’ve set me on a path now, I’m listening to '90s and '00s Ibiza club classics

I guess I’m old since it reminds me of the original Chris Rea track

One of the critical differences between FOSS and commercial software is that FOSS projects don’t need to drive sales and consequently also don’t need to immediately jump onto technology trends in order to not look like they’re lagging behind the competition.

What I’ve consistently seen from FOSS over the 30 years I’ve been using it, is that if a technology choice is a good fit for the problem, then it will be adopted into projects where relevant.

I believe that there are use cases where LLM processing is absolutely a good fit, and the projects that need that functionality will use it. What you’re less likely to see is ‘AI’ added to everything, because it isn’t generally a good solution to most problems in it’s current form.

As an aside, you may be less likely to get good faith interaction with your question while using the term ‘luddite’ as it is quite pejorative.
