Debian 14
(lemmy.ml)
Debian can't be more forky than it already is (I'll see myself out)
For context:
LOL, it's gonna get worse,
--Does he know about the AI thing?
--Tell him about the AI thing.
Yeah, it's gonna get worse.
Hopefully fewer than the ones who will fork because of the pro-AI voting.
It wasn't pro. It was just a decision to make no changes and no decision. Debian did not decide to replace the whole repo with slop or whatever.
And by "pro AI" you mean "we get so many PRs that we don't have the resources to police the AI generated ones, so instead we're just going to make sure the code is good no matter where it comes from", right? Because that's all it is.
That's not all it is. The how of the it is also important.
When you are part of a team that manages the codebase for one of the most popular Linux distros, you would probably take a similar path.
