Two mistakes:

1. The all setting makes little sense, unless someone wants to enforce a zero-AI policy. It shouldn’t have been the default. In-line completions don’t justify attribution, so the chatAndAgents setting makes more sense (there can be more arguments made about uncopyrightable LLM output and the fact that “creation height” can’t be automatically determined)
2. The code is bugged and attributed the contributions of other LLMs to copilot

The one you cited is more of a safety measure against the intersection of these two issues: if the code would work correctly, it wouldn’t add the copilot line anyway.

sentient

Arguable, he has zero internal monologue and has to express everything he comes up with immediately out loud. If he’s sentient, a LLM is too.

You wrote

Because to you it’s virtually meaningless other than some weird nostalgia

responding to my comment. I didn’t take any side, let alone argued from with nostalgia; where does the “you” come from?

Can you not put words into my mouth?

Nobody knows what a “gimp” is supposed to be.

How is arguing for one side of the issue “not seeing the value of anyone else’s opinion”.

It’s even more ironic: the palantiri were built as communication devices, to be used for good by the right people. Then Sauron came to power and immediately used them to corrupt and spy on the rulers using them.

So they are dangerous tools that are just one bad government away from being used for horrible things. WHY DID THEY BUILD THEM THEN?

They’ve always done it “for the children”. Same wrapper.

Yeah, these people never do their research. Its very easy to find the discussions and reasoning the devs had at the time.

That especially disqualifies the conspiracy idiots who come up with myths about Red Hat or Poettering or Microsoft or so puppeteering Linux into its dooooom

Nah, the issue is accidental corruption, different parsers doing things differently, stuff like that. Happens often with “mostly text but actually some structured data also” formats, doesn’t happen with formats that have well specified framing.

Because most people prefer it. Again: having a minority taste doesn’t mean you’re oppressed when there’s an option to have what you want.

For many, it makes them require lube in situations where they would otherwise need none.

For some, it makes things painful some or all the time.

Read. I’m saying that you lied, not that your preferences are bad.

Systemd doesn’t force you to use binlogs.

Can you add more fields? Is there no ambiguity in context switching? No breakage around whitespace?

If so, sure, that’s fine then.

WTF. Saying “it uses binlogs” as if that wasn’t a choice is just a lie. I called it out. Deal with it.

Right, that happened to me too.

And it’s a problem 100% unrelated to systemd, so I wouldn’t count it here.

That old load of bullshit again. You could swap out the logs if you want a shittier, less searchable (but text based) logging system. The rest can be countered in a similarly conclusive way, and has been repeatedly in the last decade or so.

Inform yourself before copy-pasting misinformation and misleading propaganda.

Eh, it exists to make fun of the Gen-AI image Trump posted, so I’ll allow it.

That’s tautological. Of course “doing X in relationship model where X isn’t considered cheating” is not considered cheating

And don’t forget that those payment tiers are heavily subsidized.
