Did they finally boot him off the project? Or is most of the rails community still ignoring the problem?

Syncthing is great, but can be a bit of a pain in the ass to set up. I wish they’d make that process easier, and maybe also support sharing the ignore file between the hosts…

We’re not talking about the average clueless vibe coder here. Programming involves a lot more than just writing code. What Torvalds did was essentially “AI assisted coding”. As i understand it, he used it to narrow down the position of the bug in the code and then fixed it himself with a one-liner because apparently AI couldn’t find a solution on its own:
And this was a debug session from hell, enormously helped by an AI doing much of the grunt-work. I’d like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it. I suspect those things have been trained by people who may not be quite as stubborn as I am. But while the AI was ready to give up several times, it did keep adding debug code and analyzing it faithfully when I pushed. So credit where credit is due and I let the AI write the commit message above. This is basically a one-liner fixing a bogus “round_up()” to a “round_down()”, but there were 24 patches adding more and more debug information to this, and 18 kernel boot to finally narrow it down to this. - Linus

That’s basically how AI should be used. To speed up things that are technically easy to do, but still very time consuming.

Check if the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” option is enabled. That’s usually the issue.

It’s an optional update. It doesn’t automatically install without activating the option to do so.
I’m rather thinking that hey want to make their slop machines the single source of truth. Much easier to get control over information, when all information is located in your own house.
It can be moderated, it’s just not profitable for them
