Being on Debian with just security updates and AppImages is the smartest thing I've done. Hopefully, non-AI forks are mature by the time the new Debian version is out

…Regardless of the code assistant, I’m not seeing any cause for alarm in my personal usage, yet. Feature requests and issues are getting closed, even urgent security ones that shouldn’t have been posted in that manner:
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/871
https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/882
Seems like business as usual:

One thing I will say on rsync is that regressions aren't new with it. It does something hard: it has to deal with symlinks. Releases have often had regressions for a long time, especially for security fixes, and it long predates LLMs, because symlinks are hard. Of course seeing a gazillion Claude commits still makes me uncomfortable, but it's important to see what's new as well.
Unsure if they're talking about rsync introducing AI code and breaking. Or that dev that introduced code that broke systems using AI.
