"Showing the industry how to adapt to new technology", as in, don't blindly trust whatever the big probability box committed to your repo but actually perform a good code review with the same standards as human-written code?

I think this says way more about the industry being completely out of touch and less about Linus leading the pack.

1.0 is a pretty bad approximation.

Very cool, the visual redesign was very much needed and I had been using Droid-ify for a while because of this. I'll switch back to the official app, congrats to the contributors!

I only discovered very recently that it was supposed to have music as well. I played on Windows XP back in the day, and I'm 99% sure the music must have been turned off by default.

> Why should Apple care if a modern Linux kernel boots without workarounds on their hardware?

To sell more hardware?

Obviously I get your point, but there's a bunch of customers who would like good ARM hardware but can't accomplish their work with macOS. It's not like Apple needs this tiny market, but it wouldn't hurt them either.

I've tried to find this for so long. I remember seeing it at the time as a teenager and thinking it was SO COOL. Basically made me discover Apple and want a Mac. :)

I love it.

I was completely confused when I recently discovered this behavior. I've been using middle-click to open tabs in macOS and Windows for years, and I could not understand why it automatically pasted whatever was in my clipboard.

I think it makes total sense to change the default to be aligned with the other platforms, and leave power-users the choice to keep it enabled if they wish.

I'm a big lover of Kotlin Multiplatform, but I think this is pretty cool anyway. I could imagine making a native Swift library shared between the platforms for memory-sensitive work. I'm not sure about using it to write an app's entire business logic, KMP is going to be more mature for a while for this.

"Novice" is not "average"

I can easily see a novice user coming from Windows accidentally getting into the edit mode of Plasma and being completely confused. I like KDE as an advanced user but I wouldn't install it on my grandma's laptop.

I agree that it would be great to have it as a first-class citizen in more distros, but I guess the maintenance burden is not negligible. I'm glad Fedora promoted it though.
