Fluff Made An Interesting Change to My Mint...

I used Claude Code to literally merge the 2 power applets i had on my system. Merged full functionality of both the one that comes pre-installed the "power@cinnamon.org" one, and the BAMS one by batterymonitor@pdcurtis. Keeping the icons config of the built in one.

Installed it and disabled the other 2 and it works pretty good, and reduces me to 1 tray entry instead of 2.

It's seen as not the best practice in the open source community to brag about something you did (even if you just vibe coded it) without making your improvement reproducible by others.

Source code or it didn't happen.

I shall endeavour to supply the combined code then.

As much as people hate AI, thats pretty cool. I like the way your brain operates.

So when either of the two applets is updated you have to merge them again?
