MELPA has two new experimental channels with better version strings!
And soon you might have your very own ELPA too!

I know it may be extreme and sometimes the llm output does contain useful hints, but fuck it is 36℃ and some bottled up feelings seem to be bubbling up in me. After just *assuming* that sending me slop was okay, you take offense when I don't sugarcoat the rejection of the speculations a machine (not you) came up with.

What I hate the most is that we at the receiving end are the ones who are expected to act professionally. After being insulted by slop, we have to explain the rejection compassionately, else the human forwarding the llm output may get personally offended.

I started by beginning my issue/pr templates with a little "Use your own words", and feared that was being a little too passive aggressive. But this does not keep people from handing me slop. Reminds me of the time I had to give up on subtly, after learning internet dwellers generally cannot read between the lines, except to assume the worst. But okay, I'll escalate and tell you more explicitly to involve your brain or get lost.

They've raised $17M to build what comes after Git, but you can help me keep Git magical right now, with a much smaller contribution. 💸
Thanks for your support! ❤️
