<p>Looking back on those screenshots, iOS 16 looks so much better than these modern liquid glass versions.<p>A nice clean UI, and a very consistent and clean visual hierarchy.</p>

<p>Whatever just works.<p>Ubuntu used to be the Debian that just worked without tweaking.<p>Today I find Debian to be the one which’s works without tweaking, and Ubuntu the one where one has to undo/disable lots of Ubuntuisms.<p>So for me: Server is Debian. Laptop is Arch.</p>

<p>Ubuntu started doing too much weird or non-standard stuff, so I moved all my servers to Debian.<p>Previous releases was MIR, Upstart, Snapd… This release it’s no X11 and GNU Coreutils replaced by buggy Rust rewrites.<p>Debian feels more like pure FOSS and in general just better. None of that icky flavour in the back of your mouth.</p>

<p>Back in the days all the things you would create using the File-menu would be files, because <i>what else would it be???</i><p>A benefit of that system was that all documents and data could be easily treated as files - and moved organized as you pleased.<p>Somewhere along the line someone clearly decided that this was <i>too simple</i> and made storage opaque - and now you never know where anything is stored - and how or where to organize it.<p>I'm not sure I consider that an improvement.</p>

<p>> So, MS builds VSCode - doesn't even fork Atom to do so. Looks identical to it. They built it from scratch. Bigger. Slower.<p>Someone needs to fix a memory leak here.<p>Atom was famously slow. Even among people using it and championing it.<p>VSCode totally wowed people not just because it was faster, but because it was essentially the first «real» Electron-app which proved Electron-apps could have near native performance.<p>You got this part 100% backwards.</p>

<p>I think a better frame would be «how could the maintainers have responded in a constructive, collaborative way upon learning about the tooling not being compliant with Emacs-standards, in a way which have helped land what was clearly a good faith effort aiming to make Emacs better?»<p>Outright rejecting the patches was IMO not a pragmatic or constructive choice and <i>will</i> drive the wrong incentives wether you morally approve of it or not.</p>

<p>He made a patch in good faith, not knowing about these rules.<p>He’s point is that because he was coming at this with an honest, open approach he saw his work rejected.<p>His observation is that this will reward dishonest submissions which are NOT made in good faith. Ie rewarding the wrong things.<p>Incentives drives the outcome. What incentives does this give people?</p>

<p>Did you review the code in question and end up rating it slop, or are you just reflexively calling anything AI-generated slop?<p>Humans can produce garbage code. As can AI. So therefore the process around the code matters, and it seems clear to me the author has had a reasonable process around the code, as opposed to blindly accepting some 1-shotted output.<p>To me this looks like good use of AI.</p>
