Okay but if shipping software that has a bug counts as pissing in soup then a lot of people have been doing this for a long time.
Honestly if this is the metric, I'm not sure anyone has ever made piss-free soup
They should post the text directly rather than a picture of the text, and it (and the issue title) should describe what is not working in the correct details (in this case, they do provide a few details; it says incremental backups are not working correctly when using multiple --compare-dest= arguments, and it mentions which version does work).
If they are also opposed to using AI/LLMs to program this, then they can mention that as well, but by itself it is not a proper bug report; they have to indicate what (if anything) is wrong with it (whether or not they used AI/LLMs to program it).

AI mistakes are due to pure laziness and incompetence that appears well done. There’s a big difference between that and a genuine mistake from a knowledgeable person.
Lol what ??
Tools are wielded
If you make a mistake wielding a tool, it is your mistake
This whole brigading is bizzarre and some people are behaving like irrational animals. I potentially understand the motivations that might bring one to want to "win" this battle but this really isn't it - it just makes you sound like a fanatic. It takes 5 minutes to search for "regression" on the issue page and go through the 17 results. There are potentially even more on the tracker used prior to github. I think thi…
It's clearly a win for 1-man projects and greenfield projects, but maybe not for what's described above ...__yet__.

AI has become a partisan political issue with all of the attendant consequences. At this point you may as well complain about the sun rising in the east :(

> As planning for a potential strike in Iran was underway, Maven, powered by Claude, suggested hundreds of targets, issued precise location coordinates, and prioritized those targets according to importance, said two of the people. The pairing of Maven and Claude has created a tool that is speeding the pace of the campaign, reducing Iran’s ability to counterstrike and turning weeks-long battle planning into real-time operations, said one of the people. The AI tools also evaluate a strike after it is initiated, the person said.
> The Pentagon began to integrate Anthropic’s Claude chatbot into Maven in late 2024, according to public announcements. The system has been used to generate proposed targets, to track logistics and provide summaries of intelligence coming in from the field. The Trump administration has vastly expanded the use of Maven into many other parts of the military, with over 20,000 military personnel using it as of last May.

What hurts the most is that most ppl disagree with me. It's like people telling you they will paint your house for free, even though the color of your house is perfectly fine, you agree to paint it in another color. Then you come home to find that they have bored a bunch of holes in the facade and tells you it's the new industry standard, when the winter comes you will have to plug these holes with special plugs, and…
> It's like people telling you they will paint your house for free, even though the color of your house is perfectly fine You are perfectly capable of saying "No, I like the color of my house already". Just pin rsync's version. This isn't some esoteric mechanism, it's standard practice. If you were actually willing to charitably engage, tidge was working on fixing security bugs - your house had holes in it already! Y…
Very bad advice these days.

I think people are very justifiably angry that a very stable, well trusted tool, has started to immediately go downhill. The Linux Mint Timeshift tool has an issue open documenting a number of regressions that are currently open on the rsync issues page, that were only introduced post-vibecoding ( https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift/issues/548 ), one of those links goes to a larger aggregate of bugs reported downs…
> The Linux Mint Timeshift tool has an issue open documenting a number of regressions that are currently open on the rsync issues page, that were only introduced post-vibecoding ( https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift/issues/548 ) There are four actual regressions there. The commits that introduced two of them have been identified, and neither neither of those mentions Claude (or another LLM). If you look at the act…
How could we even check if either human or robot code is working properly if we're not even sure the test suite works?
Also, another user[1] compiled a nonexhaustive list of 7 issues they found introduced because of the changes.

I'm not sure how partisan it is but it's certainly politicized. Regular people also weren't the ones that politicized it. These AI companies knew the risks they were taking on when they donated to Trump, bought out local city boards, heavily invested in lobbying campaigns, etc. They are betting that the federal government will protect them from the consequences of their meddling by positioning themselves as a geopoli…

And all this has nothing to do with whether Claude+Tridge is better than Tridge alone at writing code for rsync.
