So is now a good time to mention that it looks like tridge also made AI-powered commits to #ardupilot last month, in additon to #rsync?

them: “OK. Running it. Everything's deleted! Great. Oh… oh no. Wait…”
Me: *sigh*
them: "I was on the wrong server…”
I’m just so done…

That's two more explanations of how to use SSH to senior IT "professionals" in the past 6 hours.

Me: This plugin breaks your server. Don't install the plugin.
Them: OK!
… weekend passes …
Them: We installed a plugin, and it needed the other plugin you told us not to install. So we installed it. Our server is broken. Help!

@sarahjamielewis and... colour me surprised:
Any open source project that's jumping on board the age verification train better be rethinking that decision.
