The developer of LiberNT worked with ReactOS and he managed to contribute a lot. But regarding AI governance on the project, there were conflicts between the developer and the community. This caused the separate fork we have seen called LiberNT.

It's not inferred from the work but through weeks of communication. The only evidence would be the chat history of ReactOS Mattermost.

At least the developer of LiberNT has sufficient knowledge to work with AI tools and he can review low level code. In many other forks, it's common to see people as mere meat proxies.

Mostly yes. Digital signatures are better than wet signatures in almost every aspects. I've lived in Turkey, where the e-signatures are mostly limited to govt institutions, and Estonia, where the e-signatures are everywhere for everyone. Maybe moving to the digital certificates are a prerequisite of independence from Office tools.

Most of the govt stuff is paperwork moved to "digital" paperwork using office. I sincerely hope to see a post with a title "X govt drops using any office program at all". Most of these stuff can be just CRUD apps on approval workflows with built-in digital signatures. Govt officers would not need more than browsers for majority of these daily tasks.

This is not only a marketing stunt but also a supportive argument on the AI anthromorphism. AI is getting considered a sentient-being by many and this narrative is supporting it. In the meanwhile, companies I'd not name here are trying to introduce them as non-human beings with identities, and getting rid of legal liabilities. When a driverless car causes any harm, these companies wants 0% accountability as it is the "driver's fault" in this narrative.
