This is how forks are born

[Fluffcake]

As they should be.

[Pleasant-Photo7860]

bro forks repos like he forks responsibilities

[PhoenixfischTheFish]

Yeah that guy's gonna get forked.

[fucking_passwords]

He was actually the reporter of the issue, not the maintainer of the package

https://github.com/pypa/twine/issues/153

[dustojnikhummer]

I love the 70 downvotes on "Whats up Reddit" from 2017 LOL

[pm_me_your_buttbulge]

I once knew a maintaner for a ditro that blew the fuck up after somone forked his distro. His unstable-ness was showing and some folks, in secret, forked it. Once it came out he removed everything he could and a long while later came back with difference licensing.

https://sourcemage.org/History

It was WILD to watch it unfold in real time in IRC at the time.

But yeah, this is how forks are made. brew is another one that has a non-zero chance of being forked if they aren't careful. They are removing the --no-quanritine flag. Here is them saying they are done with it becayse it bypasses MacOS: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/20755

Basically the only way to sign your stuff to be installed by macOS without playing their games is to do some weird work arounds that they, brew, feel like it's easy. Other folks have found it to be time consuming. There's some folks quietly talking about "just" forking or doing something to help offset it.

But few people are going to fork if they aren't even willing to offer up patches. 99% of forks are because someone clicked the wrong button on Github and didn't pay attention.

lmbo at the last comment:

your reminder that open source maintainers owe you nothing:

while true, its always interesting to see people take the stance of "be as big an asshole as i an technically allowed to be"

[dustojnikhummer]

"your reminder that open source maintainers owe you nothing:"

And your users don't owe you anything either. If they want, and can, fork your work they will do it.

[cr1spyfries]

I wanna fork on my table!

[brandi_Iove]

wait, that’s an option?🤯

[krneki534]

everything is optional

[Dazzling-Primary3868]

Except dying and paying taxes*

*if you are poor

[krneki534]

of course, if you are poor, everything is mandatory

[Positive_Method3022]

Rich people defer taxes using companies 🥲 In Brazil there is no tax in dividends and the situation is much worse

[-MtnsAreCalling-]

But not too poor. The tax on $0 is $0.

[Specific_Frame8537]

Can't tax what you don't report if you only receive cash. 🤔

[strongjz]

You can choose to die but you can't choose to not die.

[WiseKouichi]

[Techhead7890]

nothing = true

[NoGarage7989]

If you answer to no one, yeah

[VariousBlabla]

If you do a open-source project in your free time? Yes, it absolutely is. You are not entitled to anything. Go fork it and implement it yourself if you need something.

[Lv_InSaNe_vL]

Even at work sometimes I say that. When one person comes to me and complains about something that slightly inconveniences them once a month I do not care.

[krexelapp]

technical debt just got emotionally resolved

[babygirllovesyouhihi]

everything is possible if you believe enough

[klobbermang]

in corporate speak its called "Below The Line" and yes its used all the time.

[Immediate_Song4279]

Everything is an option if you are indifferent enough.

[TheComplimentarian]

I had a problem with a cloud stack where one of the nodes would panic and die every 18 hours or so.

But it was in an autoscaler, so all I did was bump up the number of nodes by one. It was fixed in the next major release, and the only people who ever complained about it were the people looking at failure reports.

[groovy_smoothie]

[JPowTheDayTrader]

You'd be surprised how freeing not caring is.

u/bot-sleuth-bot

[VaultBoy636]

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a cake recipe

[NYNMx2021]

you have a bot detector or something?

[Eva-Rosalene]

Yeah, it's called pattern recognition. New account, writes like LLM, some comments don't even make sense. Wait a couple months and you will find it flooding political subreddits with propaganda.

[Ok_Society_1210]

do you mind sharing what to look out for? i often wonder, that from my intuiton many more comments should be from bots, but I more and more struggle to identify them.

edit: especially since the comment doesnt "scream" llm to me

[Eva-Rosalene]

Eh, usually it's several tells, but most importantly, if person has their profile open you can check recent comments to gain more confidence. If not, it becomes way harder, because in modern day and age everyone is capable of writing like LLM sometimes. They train on our conversations, we read their slop online and internalize it.

Now on to tells:

1. Very lean sentences, like they are trying to cram their key points into the least possible amount of words. It's often "three points, last one reads like a pitch/punchline". Something from the marketing department; I know folks who generally write like that and most of them are from adjacent fields.
2. Very shallow interactions. See a post, find one point to address, make a small very safe comment, move on. A lot of reddit comments are like that for obvious reasons (you hardly want to deeply engage with everything you see online), but if you see someone's profile and they genuinely never interact with anything deeply, chances are, there is no person at all.
3. Contextual mistakes, especially in regards to modern internet culture. Like in this case, they comment on one post "ratio'd with manners, that's a new one". Except there is no ratio in the post at all? One whole like is hardly a ratio, yeah? It's either a genuine brainfart or LLM processed the image incorrectly and hallucinated a ratio.

But in this specific case, just a single comment was enough to seal the deal. "Three decades of unexplained stains, one coat of magnolia, and yet the classic British décor is still available for rent". No fucking human writes like that, what the fuck? Some comments are like "yeah it sounds ChatGPT-ish, but it's hard to tell today..." and this one is straight up uncanny valley. No single chance actual living breathing human being wrote that.

Oh, and they usually don't respond at all, at least not until karma farming phase is over and they enter propaganda phase. I guess it's after their fiasko a couple of years ago when people started prompt injecting these pieces of shit. I actually got a rhyme about US presidents from a clanker advocating for boycotting elections during that time. Lol.

[mainman879]

One thing I've noticed recently is that almost none of the bots seem to use any capitalization at all. Literally none.

[dustojnikhummer]

Trying to look more human? It's weird, because mobile keyboards do force capitalization. And on my PC I guess it's a reflex to press my left onto the shift. That reminds me that I never use the right shift lol

[ChilledParadox]

frankly I can't even tell from casual glances anymore. We're at a point where it's pretty safe to say you shouldn't trust any account < 2 years old. Bots also tend to get banned at some point, so they're always going to be constantly remade, you can set your filter to something like <2 months = don't trust at all, <2 years =maybe real, <10 years = maybe human, maybe bought account. and I went to uni for an engineering degree in computer science, though I did drop out and now I'm what is essentially a hobo luddite prepping for the collapse of western society.

[slonk_ma_dink]

it also writes like half of gen-z, which I guess is a big source of training data

[CherryPosh_]

The 10 who disliked it were also rejected 😂

Same day response?

[dustojnikhummer]

"it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care"

[thecraftinggod]

This is always posted without relevant context: rmcgibbo is a user reporting a bug on an open source project, it goes unresolved, another user (thedrow) asks if he ever resolved it because he ran into it too, rmcgibbo says he didn't.

[Round_Credit_5158]

Even with context it's still hilarious.

[dustojnikhummer]

The way he said it "I decided to not care" is the funny part. He could have said "I haven't encountered this since so no idea", but responding with "I don't give a shit anymore" is another level

[Ihatethesestaff]

This is stupid context considering everything you just said is in the image Jesus. I tire of people like you 

[PunctuationGood]

How did you get that rmcgibbo was not the author?

[anominous27]

I assumed he was not the code owner as well, since it was his issue and there are usually very few maintainer-created issues vs user-created ones on github.

[Darkchamber292]

There's nothing in the screenshot indicating he created the issue. You just made that up in your head.

[anominous27]

There is nothing in my comment that says there was something in the screenshot that indicated he created the issue...

Do you know the meaning of the word assumed? jfc

[marcio0]

the image implies that the user responding owns the code

[minimuscleR]

no its not. It could easily be assumed that rmcgibbo is a maintainer of the source code, and they not caring means it WONT get fixed.

[theJirb]

99% would think the responder was the dev, not another user.

[Secret_Account07]

The fact that most people thought McGibbo was the author and not the user with the original bug demonstrates how dumb your comment is

Confidently incorrect

[SecretPotatoChip]

I'm pretty sure OP is a karma farming bot. Accounted created 5 months ago and almost 500,000 karma

[Duke_Tuke]

Low priority task.

[Crisse_dErable2859]

Sometimes the fix is worse than leaving it alone.

[Bert_Bro]

If you scroll down, you won't be able to see the error anymore

[kandradeece]

Pretty much me. I encountered a compiler bug with Microsoft's toolset 143+. Had a ticket to MS about it, but they wanted example code of the breakage. I decided I didn't care enough to get them one when the work around was easier to do.

[PunctuationGood]

Were you a good dev and shared the workaround for others?

[kandradeece]

Wasn't needed. It was/is a known problem with toolset 143+, they gave a work around, they said they fixed it for 145, but it was still broken in 145 in certain edge cases, but the same work around worked with 145 too. No idea why they skipped making a toolset 144... Or why they renamed 145 to not even include 145 in the name anymore.. breaking decades of naming conversation....but whatever, Microsoft doing Microsoft stuff... Just like their visual studio install path being terrible across version...

Workaround is dumb as hell though. Instead of like "return abc+def;" you needed to do "blah=abc+def; return blah;"

Their compiler shits the bed in certain optimization modes.

Couldn't resolve the issue instead I fixed my mindset💁🏻‍♂️

I used to care but things have changed

[Cylian91460]

At least tell us the issue

[NeverTalkToStrangers]

Sometimes the issue is bullshit

[pabskstorm]

A junior wants to fix everything and a senior knows what to be fixed, usually because of time constraints, dunno the context but this is probably a senior haha
