I didn't say it did. But we don't show sympathy to someone by harassing and bullying them.

I don't see anyone here quietly hoping
I'm no fan of vibe coded apps but rsync is literally free software with a free licence... forking it seems like less work than harrassing the guy who maintains in the hope that he capitulates.
Good point! It's probably some weird A/B testing.
This is hilarious, why didn't get just use the many existing original posters?
That sounds correct to me but I don't have have enough evidence at present to say for certain
I'd think the data center would win
Matell is a public company but if it were taken private the accountants (or CEO) would still not require a deep knowledge of Barbie family relationships.
One could make the argument that short term gains protect against future downturns, but yes you are exactly correct it's not any deeper than that.
The job of being a CEO does not even involve an understanding of the product beyond an ability to connect it to future stock speculation.
CEOs have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of shareholders. That's literally it. If "Metaverse" or "AI" makes line go up, they are legally obligated to talk about it.
The actual technology or product has nothing to do with the job of being a CEO the same way Mattel's accounting department doesn't need to understand where Skipper fits in the Barbie family tree.
It honestly sucks that the #1 requirement to being an effective FOSS maintainer (above even coding talent) is the skill of enforcing healthy emotional boundaries.
