It's very sad to see #rsync getting polluted with LLM slop now.
Even more sad, given who is doing it.
People are talking angrily about "the maintainer" and suggesting "this guy" [should have his commit bit revoked] etc. apparently not realising that "this guy" is Tridge, both the original author of rsync and creator of samba. His PhD thesis "Efficient Sorting & Synchronization Algorithms" which describes the original rsync algorithm. Still worth a read, even now.
@SArpnt i think i've tried doing something for the zx beeper once in a 2 channel driver. i like playing with limitations
i miss making music for video games
is anyone making a cool video game that needs music
"https everywhere" was a mistake
being able to sort artists arbitrarily using metadata tags is like a big reason why i'm considering giving up all the other capabilities #rockbox has
it is 2026 and #rockbox still struggles with a problem apple fixed in 2004

TLDR: In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike in solidarity. The Foundation is sitting on $296 million in reserves and a freshly profitable AI revenue stream.

@zzt LLMs are always really good at whatever type of output you don't know how to validate.
If you don't know how to code, it is great at code.
If you don't know a language, it is great at translating it.
If you don't know the law, it is a great lawyer.
Every fucking time... Yet somehow, some people aren't seeing the fucking pattern.

Love how every website now has a popup that tells you "our website is hot dogshit, download the app instead"
And then the app is just an Electron wrapper around the same JS they could have put on the website if they didn't hate you personally
over 50% of my phone's downloads folder contents are accidental, which i don't bother clearing out because phones have made file systems a burden to browse and explore, because why would you now that everything is clouds and apps

🚨 LAST CHANCE 🚨
The UK government's online safety consultation closes TODAY.
We must push back against more and more online ID checks. Making every adult hand over sensitive data to unregulated providers is itself UNSAFE.
Let's take on Big Tech business models instead!
