Well I'm sure this'll be a productive discussion with no whining or name-calling whatso
Tbf a conversation that started with a screenshot of a rant was never going to stay civil, but the OP has a point.
Rsync was in a robust maintance mode, only needing occasional security updates. If adding new features by vibe-coding is going to just break the existing reliable infrastructure, then it's better off not having those features at all.
The first bigots are also incoming:
I mean, those are bots, right? No one is so pathetic that they have to make this ridiculous connection on a Github issue about vibe coding. Right?...
Have you ever worked with the public? That is 100% a believable post from a person. And using an obvious throwaway account because they're always a coward.
Honestly, I'd like to believe it - but I also don't doubt that someone would be petty enough.
Slight tangent, but what is the right's obsession with boys playing with dolls?
Considering how many parents let their kids rot on phones/tablets watching hyperactive slop nowadays, I'd rather my kid play with basically anything else - even if it doesn't conform to "expectations".
It’s knuckle-dragging groupthink, mostly. Bigotry being passed on to new generations and all that. Right-wing leaders see it more clinically, though, since they can guide the idiots into pushing their agenda with what essentially amounts to a magnet. An ouroboros of shitfuck.
