    Tell you what that Rsync thread is just a goldmine.

    While I’m generally not one to complain about something I’m getting for free, and I do understand the dev wanting to make more efficient use of their time…

    I don’t think people are wrong here expressing their annoyance at what was previously feature complete and stable software being vibe-code updated into a buggy mess.

    … And that’s without mentioning the ethical and security issues posed by vibe-coded software.

      I think we need to support the dev so they don’t need to use vibe coding. From all I see he’s overwhelmed and he doesn’t even get paid for this.

    But if the chef wants oranges in the pea soup, and you don’t like that, it’s fair to say go to another soup kitchen.

    ITT entitled people, who would never pay a single cent for rsync nor ever contribute to it, having a big mouth about it.

    Also the analogy is crap. It’s free soup on somebody’s compound that anybody can walk in and take at their own accord. People walk in, take it, build a business or dependency around it, and get pissy when the recipe changes. They don’t want to take the recipe and fix it themselves, instead they demand the cook change it for them. “My customers are unhappy with the soup you make in your backyard”. The cook is well in his right to tell them to fuck off.

      Agree. It seems a lot of people love open source software only because it’s free…

      Note I’m not including hard core open source zealots who support the developers.

    He is not giving anyone piss soup. He’s leaving it on the sidewalk, you take it on your own knowing what it is.

      This. It’s literally someone putting food in a container and saying: it’s here in case someone needs it.

      You don’t want/need it? Don’t take it. Open source. No force feeding, just git push --force

        There is no situation where you can make free piss soup available (outside of exclusively offering it to piss fetishists) that is morally acceptable. It’s exploitative to adulterate something offered just because “you can choose not to take it”.

    So the devs are now split in two camps, one that “use whatever means for your goal” and one is “fuck AI and everyone who thinks its a great thing”

    I am torn

    Funny, that nearly tracks for the US, except it’d need to feed said homeless first. So far, it’s just pissing on us poors. No soup.

    I suspect this might be from the jqwik thing going on right now. The maintainer of that library added some anti-AI “fuck you” code to delete vibe coders’ “work”

    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.
