Lol what? That’s their official phrasing? Holy shit!

„Are you in favour of introducing vanilla icecream in our product line?

Points against it: its an abnormal abomination created by the devil that tastes like frozen shit!

Points in favour: while admitting that vanilla icecream is an abnormal abomination created by the devil, some people like eating eating icecream.“

Lmao

Yeah that ain't even trying to be unbiased lmao.

It'd be absolutely wild if we end up at a point where the Debian team forks the kernel over AI. I doubt they've got the team to pull it off, but that statement screams that someone on the team is tempted.
