aah.
I don’t think this is the case here, but now I wonder whether rewriting git history dates to be more spread out and go further back before uploading an AI slop project to github is a viable way to appear more legitimate.
I can only assume it’s because the project’s new leadership can’t count
This came across as a bit harsh. The blogpost explaining the new naming strategy seemed to make sense to me at the time. Did I miss something?
This was obviously meant as a joke…
Sheesh are some overly-sensitive.Yes it’s a bit crass but not overly.
Also in the newsletterThe Jellyfin team took a page from Microsoft’s playbook and skipped a major version number (v11) with the release of v12 this week (…)
It has to be funny to be a joke, and this wasn’t funny. Seemed like a cheap shot from a Plex fanboi.
Cringe. I’m pretty sure they did not read a single line of the changelog.
Good to see Mullenweg gone, what a shitbird. And complaining he didn’t have time to have the resolution reviewed before the vote. Matt, that’s the exact sort of bullshit behaviour you would have committed if the shoe were on the other foot. So quit crying and go code or something.
Kinda crazy wordpress.org still links to his personal site in their footer.
Maybe someone should submit a PR to fix that.
Gone? On paid vacation for a short while, you mean… But perhaps it’s a sign from the board, that he should either get his shit together or he will be out for good at some point, hopefully.

Nasty. I thought this was satire at first and had to read it back.
From the newsletter:
no record of what they touched
From the site:
Centralized model access and policy-controlled environments with full observability and auditability across all AI usage.
We might have some wires crossed somewhere.
The first quote is a dig at their competitors. The second code is a description of the solution their project provides.
Seriously. I had to read that five times to see if I was missing sarcasm. What a fucking awful product.
Can you help me understand why this is awful?
If you’re serious… Essentially their AI impersonates you with impunity and keeps no records of what it’s done. Its a fucking security nightmare at best.
I was reading this as the solution or safeguard against that problem.
Good catch
I’m a dumbass and totally misread it. You’re right, it’s the solution, not the problem. I downvoted myself for being a moron.
You’re not a dumbass, it’s just poorly-written.
