Atheists are a community of not, practically anti-religion or anti-god activists. Not sure that is even controversial. Sometimes Democrats are pro-left policies, right now they are anti-trump activists. And a lot of communities depending on the environment end up more pro-A or anti-B. Even if members of the community believe in mixed thing the movement direction has still to be opposites. Left, Right, Linux, Windows, Wayland, X11, GPL, MIT, IPV4, IPV6, SystemD, dinit, Docker, Podman, Rust, C++, Go, Zig, C...

If a trusted project starts changing several lines of code a day, breaking things, with or without llms, there will be backlash

And Rsync should rightly loose reputation if they're breaking the software to get in the latest trend hype

absolute's do exist, but they are rare and bieng unchangable are only things to build on. whearas the authors comment about group think concerning as he calls it "communities of not", is excellent, critisism is easy, as the material is knee deep every where, what counts though is pairing a critisism with an implimentable alternitive solution, and acting on that, then "you" and/or a group have something

> An influencer without children becomes a parent, an urban bike commuter by choice buys a Porsche, a respected developer tries LLMs, and the community feels betrayed

wow - certain tech people live in an alternate world. I feel like this group with these problems are like a social anti-matter at this time of history: Isolated in a bizarre network tech, too much money and time, outrage in a teacup, constantly self-referential, untouchable by many.. go live in space suits then.. bye
