I've been building diagnostic tools for identifying and correcting errors with the syncing and backup process of the JottaCloud backup solution. This is its operational lore described as it might be told by firelight three hundred years on, when nobody remembers what a daemon was.

You rather open the server up to security issues than have software where the developer has been assisted by ai which you feel decreases the quality of the code or is it for moral reasons?

Rsync is not being vibe coded, and it’s not become slop so would love to understand the position.

Reminds of the days when windows and macs folks were debating each other, made it impossible to announce Mac software on a software forum with windows users.

The significant thing that will result from this is private issue lists and disabling open PRs. and then you’re worse off as an ai sceptic.

People just have disliked computing in general as a result of their Windows experience.

I’m not seeing any brick and mortar stores selling Linux laptops or any mindshare for any Linux brand. Maybe if Ubuntu started selling hardware in supermarkets Linux would have a chance of capturing people’s consciousness outside of the power user / professional circles. But they’re years too late now.
