Yeah and it's fucking ugly and unreadable, it shouldn't be allowed.

Why people keep saying that I'm advocating for AI use? I'm not happy with the decision of Ladybird maintainers, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to spam them with AI slop.

I know, but opensource was not just about freedoms, it was about community.

But opensource has always been about community. This way it becomes "source-open", even if you could make changes to it and run those changes yourself, the latter doesn't sound "opensourcy" to me.

Exactly! It's not opensource anymore: it's fork-or-transparent source.

Don't put words in my ~mouth~ (keyboard) that I didn't ~say~ (type), I'm not saying I want my contributions to be accepted on equal footing even if they are generated by AI. What I'm saying is that solving this problem this way is going to make opensource much worse. We need a better way, and I'm not sure which is the better way, sorry.

I don't know about you, but as for me, when I contribute to opensource it's because I find some improvement that makes the project better because it probably polishes some rough edge around a kind-of particular use case (that maybe few people face, but still, it makes the project better for them; it amplifies the range of usecases that it can span to). If everybody does the same with their small improvements, the project becomes better for everyone, but none of the contributors of these small changes would have time to embark on maintaining a fork. Mantaining a fork is hard work, not only because software breaks over time (dependencies going obsolete or insecure, builds stop working because of old toolkits), but also because not pulling the latest changes from master would mean that your fork gets stagnated (and thus not worth to run it).

what rewrite? I thought it would switch to Rust but I still see it to be C++

While I understand the motivation for this change, I have to highlight something: GitHub's slogan 'social coding' is becoming more and more true these days. Now opensource will become a thing that only "influential" people can contribute to. We're back to nepotism, not meritocracy. Down hill we go.

IMO OCaml is mind-bending (e.g. go figure out the 'in' keyword, I still don't understand it), F# is much easier/simpler.

Haha, it is actually my least favorite statically typed lang for this very reason.

Do you mind supporting L402 so that agents can potentially purchase the service?

Ok I guess my mind didn't think "entire surface of the earth" would really mean entire surface of the earth because that's just abhorrently stupid. I mean, in order to cover the entire surface of the earth with datacenters, we would first need to build stuff on the entire surface of the earth... Which would take... thousands of years? And I'm sure we would grow some trees on top of the data-centers along the way.

Errr.. are you saying that Linux contributors are only affiliated to small companies or volunteers? Well, last time I checked, some contributors were RedHat(IBM) and Microsoft employees ;)

Good point. Then why in the world would a company have 3,500 repos? Do they create a repo for each employee?

New comment by siwatanejo in "GitHub Compromised"

It's normal that a dev has *access* to all the code.

But did he clone all the repos into his machine? I doubt it. So, the hacker extracted all the 3800 repos using the employee's machine as a gateway? I doubt it as well, I'm sure they would have detected this huge amount of data much earlier than transferring all of it?

> The real question is why github has 3800 internal repos.

I guess they mean customer's private repos?
