This entire post doesn't belong here other than as a cautionary tale.

Don't use other people's issue trackers to editorialize to force them to react to what would otherwise be a tweet

They NEVER proved that they experienced a bug with rsync and if they did experience a bug with rsync they certainly didn't prove that it was caused by AI assistance. This useful research would have required real work.

Their language and methodology of communication is abominable. Lest we forget the "crime" of the developer is providing for free something so useful that it became integral the the users workflow for years then potentially shipping a buggy version. People who labor for free for us deserve our thanks not our contempt.
