From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I made a small tool for KDE Plasma (and other freedesktop desktops) that lets you easily customize single app icons:

  • Use your own images or library
  • Copy icon from another app
  • Pick one icon from any installed theme (without switching global theme)
  • Built-in pixel editor to create your own
  • Batch apply, undo, overrides, missing icons overview
  • Import image to turn it into an icon

Completely user-level, safe, and reversible. No manual .desktop editing.

What, if any, part did or does "AI" play in this app?

[–] rayman30@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

The only “AI” involved was occasional use of GitHub Copilot for trivial autocomplete/suggestions, the same way many developers use it for boilerplate. All architecture, features, UI design, and logic are 100% human-made.

Your performative hate is just dull now. Shut up

You are now tagged "AIdiot". As for performative, you're the one copy-pasting this ultra low effort reply.

Quick, how many Rs are in strawberry?

ohohohohoho what a funny person you are. Why do you think you deserve anything more than a low effort response?

Yeah I agree, but unlike you it's getting better all the time, and it's far more creative. Did you think that was a clever response? Aww diddums

Yeah that's my reaction to your dumb performative hate. Shut up already
