ah yes, copy 'n pasting (or the ML equivalant) is truly learning.
You can learn from code by just looking at it, working with it (i.e. transforming it into a truly derivative/creative work) there's little value to be had in having some automated program spit out chunks of code (ripped from their original context) that you don't fully understand or without the tool never could have conceived.
Also looking at some publicly available code (to learn) still respects the license, co-pilot possibly doesn't.
I hope they lose so that the wishes and legal rights of the people who made GitHub great in the first place remain respected.
GitHub is almost like a social network in the way it relies on "the community". Stealing people's code (who made it great) by regurgitating it through an ML code laundering machine, isn't very fair imho.
Sounds like you might like: https://sourcehut.org
(it's also completely free of crypto/web3 schemes, as an added bonus)
If GitHub (M$) continues this path of stomping on licenses/copyright of the people who made it great in the first place (i.e repo authors/contributors), I'm definitely gone.
I no longer use the Pinephone because of the aforementioned issues, however at that time, I'm pretty sure I was at the latest and greatest firmware version available (which one that specifically was opensource or proprietary, I can't remember).
The experience was so horrid, I just quit using it all together and never looked back. But maybe if things have improved, I should give it a shot again.
I have only tried the regular PinePhone (since I only own that version) they both share the same modem (iirc), so there shouldn't be much of a difference.

Yep
> "Or under high load it gave out sometimes?"
No, it would be just idling/sleeping and it would crash on me. It's not like it would automatically restart itself either. It was just dead until I rebooted the phone (which is slooowwww), restarting the modem manager and the modem it self, didn't fix it reliably for me either, only sometimes that would actually work, that whole process of restarting the modem and reentering your PIN could easily take multiple minutes.
Under load (e.g. Firefox) it would just have the same (crashing) behavior.
I have had more missed phone calls because of it, than I'd like to count.
Honestly none of them will be daily driver ready, given how broken the Quectel EG25 modem is.
I would never want to, have to call emergency services with my Pinephone while the modem is down
It has kinda always baffled me, why some people think web scraping wouldn't/shouldn't be legal.
I mean the second you put something out on the internet, you should expect it to be public, and as a consequence of that, to be scraped.
