The current maintainer, Andrew Tridgell, is one of the two original authors, and was dragged back into maintaining this in 2024 because rsync is so important and nobody else was stepping up to replace Wayne Davison, who was the primary maintainer from 2002 to 2024.
If this project had people eager to fork it, that probably wouldn’t have happened in 2024.
Your only objection to this is that you feel uncomfortable being mean.
“But people could just fork it.” This laissez faire attitude doesn’t actually do anything, and is only fronted by people who don’t want to do anything. This is a states’-right-to-slavery argument.
Yes what a reasonable comparison to make. Being held captive and made to labor against your will, with no rights of your own, is literally the same as choosing to use free tools which were developed in a way that doesn’t 100% align with your preferences.
Totally normal thing that totally normal people will say.
I think you just don’t like the idea that using AI says anything about you as a person. It does though. It tells me where you’re willing to compromise.

you’re absolutely right the only solution remaining is to harass the dev harder🙄

Being provocative always pulls people who don’t understand comparisons out of the woodwork.
You know you can compare apples and oranges, right? Both are fruit. Neither are root vegetables. Look, we’re learning things.
Yadi yada so you’re an entitled bully but also an ignorant asshole what a lovely person. You should probably go back to 4chan where your kind belongs.

I think like all bullies you like to dominate and degrade, then you pin fictional ideals on it to make it feel like you’re doing good.
This would be absolutely scathing if I wasn’t correct that you don’t want to do anything about AI.
Wow, an openly pro-bullying position from someone on a trans-inclusive instance? I’m sure your admins will appreciate the report I just sent them.
I am militantly pro-trans and will absolutely bully in their favor. Conservative rhetoric has no place in the society I want to live in.
