  • Completely agree

    My current decision is between a new Motorola signature 27 with graphene (running under the assumption Linux will be able to make the jump there, which isn’t an unreasonable conclusion to jump to), or getting a mostly basic flip phone that can hotspot and using a umpc with it.

    Where Linux phones have failed for me is the limited options for phones and on the actual phone part, so I feel like separation that out with a nice umpc and letting a phone be a phone is a worthwhile option.

    We’ll see how things play out though!







  • AGENTS.md in a repository are used to guide development.

    That is not entirely true.

    It can be. Yes, it provides agents with contexts - rule centralization, commands, conventions - which may be useful for external tooling for a project that runs on code live like this. It isn’t exclusively used for project development, which makes its presence not an indicator.

    I see at least one: if the project doesn’t have a clear no-ai policy, then assume it is AIP. But that’s not my proposition at the moment.

    Also discussed in the meta thread about this, and what results is projects being called an AI project that are not projects developed with - or even designed to allow interaction with - AI.

    Also a non-starter.

    Edited to add: What needs to be avoided is nonsense like the recent debacle caused by people being unfamiliar with Akedemy, causing a series of nonsensical posts about KDE being “all in on AI”.

    Misinformation is one of those things I will not compromise on.

    I was just asking for a precision, but that’s because I didn’t check archives enough

    There is precision in the detailed rules post.

    If you want to see the prior meta discussions, you can look at my post history. I don’t often make standalone posts, so they are quick to find.



  • Just like the discussion last time on this - every user will not be able to be a forensic reviewer.

    This is demonstrated clearly with how you misunderstood the role of the agents.md file in the other thread, that was for AI to be used with the app, not for the app development.

    So if you’d like to propose this, and people would like this, you’re going to need to include how or its simply unworkable as a rule. And I don’t see any option for how this could be realistically implemented.

    Edit: autocorrect messed with the first sentence, corrected.



  • Just about everything is Proxmox for me, though a few things are just Debian.

    I use LXCs, in general I don’t like Docker so I avoid it in most cases. I have a couple VMs for it where I may spin something up to test, but if its around long-term it gets moved to an LXC. Usually because I prefer a bit more control on setup, and find it more manageable than having a bunch of mounts for everything. It also keeps things arranged in a way I prefer, gives me a single interface to access what I want, and makes backup more straightforward.

    Whether I want a whole VM or just to run a single app as a service, I only have to go to one spot to do it.




  • Purely from a manufacturer perspective, I would go Lenovo. Ive had more problems with Dell hardware than with Lenovo hardware.

    In terms of what can run, both are capable. I’d lean towards more ram in general, and the 4 laptops I have are lenovo workhorses, the newest of which is ~5yrs old, the oldest ~10yrs old, all happily chugging along just fine.

    So I’d vote Lenovo.
