"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wherein backups falling consists entirely of one self report of the users self written backup script not working followed by him seeing commit messages indicating usage of ai with zero effort to show work diagnose the cause or bisect to failing commit despite poster being a hobbyist who dabbles in programming.

Trust me bro.

Completely unjustifiable to complain about something FREE AND OPEN SOURCE

The developer owes nothing to anyone and is CERTAINLY not owed backlash for using the tools available to try and continue to help others

This kind of reaction is how to ensure the death of FOSS projects. It’s bullying, it’s insensitive, and worst of all it helps no one.

actually the dev does owe the community something. I'm sure the dev has enjoyed many fruits of the labor they put into rsync, but most of all are clout and opportunities.

the dev was able to access high profile high paying jobs because of the success of rsync. they were able to become well known enough in the community to speak to large groups about their project and other topics as well. they were given a platform to voice their opinion and rally support behind topics or other projects.

the dev benefited by the good will of the community.

now, the community that the dev worked with, used, to attain the position they currently hold is complaining that something is wrong. the project is broken. the dev has ignored the problems and continues to use the tool causing all the problems.

no. the dev owes us an explanation at the very least.

why are they leveraging a flawed tool to maintain such an important and integral solution for the entire world?
why do they ignore the complaints from the community?
are they willing to hand over development to a new dev or group that will maintain it properly?
