Yup! Replace the word “fork” with “branch” and that basically matches the workflow. Forking implies you are copying the code in its current state and going off to do your own thing, never to return (but maybe grabbing updates from time to time).
One would hope that the users submitting these PRs vetted to LLM’s output before submitting, but instead all of that work is getting shifted onto the maintainers.
“Other people are assholes too” is a terrible reason to support an asshole. Expect better.
Thank you for posting this! I had a vague recollection there was something scummy about Brave, and I was surprised to see it recommended in so many of the “Which browser should I use?” posts. It’s really handy to have a chronical of bullshit like this to point to when it comes up
Could you elaborate on this? I’m still distro shopping and know basically nothing about Mint’s development history.
The biggest chilling effect I noticed, even as a developer who refuses to use AI, is that I feel like I can no longer ask my co-workers for advice. When I do, I get the the AI equivalent of “let me Google that for you, was that so hard?” So even without using it, I feel cut off from the normal places I would use to learn and improve my coding skills.
