nancyp··on Judge dismisses DMCA copyright claim in GitHub Copilot suit
Linux/OSS is cancer. Said who? Anything in public domain is for grab by them.

nancyp··on Tell HN: Samsung Galaxy S22 become faster after upgrade to oneui 6.1
You can easily turn off Ai under settings. I have deep slept most unused apps. And set thr processing speed to optimized. Battery is going pretty solid, lasts a full day at 85% charge.

Also try resetting app settings. if something is draining in the background, that could help.

Amazon I'm not renewing my prime membership.
nancyp··on Google to delete records from Incognito tracking

nancyp··on Tauri 2.0 tries to make mobile apps crossplatform
