  • Actually, 100% of what I said is true. Let’s go through it together

    Microsoft does not own systemd

    True.

    The closest thing to an “owner” the project has would be Red Hat (not owned by MS), but it’s had over 2000 authors in its time.

    And even if they did, and put copilot into it, distros could still choose to not use it

    True.

    This in fact happens already. Lots of distros that use systemd only use some components of it. It’s GPL code, you can do that…

    Now let’s move on to Lennart Poettering.

    Yeah, he was one of the top people behind systemd, and he has now moved to a job within Microsoft. What’s your point? That doesn’t mean systemd is Microsoft property now. That’s not how it works lol. PulseAudio isn’t either.




  • For real.

    I dislike Copilot with a burning passion, but I can’t deny it’s an amazing name. Because that’s what AI in an OS should be.

    A copilot. One that will take over and help me do things, especially tedious things like offline translation, better screen reader functionality for the blind, better speech recognition and synthesis, etc.

    Of course that’s not what MS is doing, they’re doing it to shove gimmicks down our throat and to scoop up data en masse.

    Windows Intelligence is just… Ugh. Do they not get that Apple Intelligence, while still being a bit of a rubbish name, at least works because it still can be shortened to AI?
