It's innocent enough but this headline somehow just reads like it's from the onion.
"Microsoft paid manufacturers to add another stupid key to laptops? Huh, okay then. Stupid key is now in linux. Map it up however you like yall."

emacs enjoyers:
"Linux developers find a use for stupid Copilot key that no one has ever pressed."
Not the glorious return of the Hyper key I expected, but I'll take it.
