    Here is a (for now) working libmedium link if you don't want to visit Medium directly:

    https://libmedium.ducks.party/@tridge60/rsync-and-outrage-d9849599e5a0

    I also recommending reading this other topic as a sort of followup:

    Did Claude increase bugs in rsync?

    Verbal abuse, threats of violence, and unhinged hostility is why I stopped contributing to Open Source twenty years ago. I love playing with computers, but if there is a single community that does a better job of rules-lawyering badgering smug misanthropy, I've yet to find it. Individually I know several other fellow techies who are delights to work with, but good god is the online world a toxic cesspool. And, like much of the world, it's gotten quite a bit angrier over the past few years. Glad to see Tridge isn't too put out, but what a pain.

      It's not unique to tech/coding, but it is the kind of industry that attracts people who are somewhat clever but wash out of other industries because they can't be decent, as you can just hole up in a room, be antisocial, and still give useful output.

      With personalities like Jobs being worshiped ("Boy i sure wish i could get rich calling everyone else an idiot!") and communication done in a way that naturally avoids any real accountability, it is sadly a miserable and hostile breeding ground.

      I and others have all commented that the best thing AI has done for linux is allowing you to get feedback without being outright attacked, and it's about as accurate as the hostile people anyways.

    If I understand this correctly, the claude contributions were limited to rewriting the test suite, and did not actually introduce bugs in the system?
