Open source maintainers aren’t here to teach contributors how to write better code, we’re here for maintenance of the project. The review prevents shit getting merged. Humans write shit too. This is what reviews are for
Part of being a maintainer is helping to onboard new contributors, this is why many projects have a tag for “good first issue”. Teaching people how to use the library/tool is part of that.

I have some friends that are thinking of investing into some HiLow systems and making our own intranet. Or a meshnet. Seems like a fun project.
And no random bot scans, no agencies, no nothing but our own sites.
The problem with closed meshnets is: scale. Do you have “critical mass” necessary to keep people engaged and returning and creating new content?
Cant know until we try!

I wish meshtastic did any of that. Its more like a worse pager. Fun hobby to get into but its not all that great at reliable packets.
We’ve been rolling along with weak IDs on the internet since the beginning. Strong, secure identification would change the nature of most of these problems. It would make anonymity a choice instead of an illusion, you want to be anonymous, you have to work at it. As things are, people think they’re anonymous, but they really aren’t - and yet most services treat people as if they are anonymous so people tend to act that way.

wrong. it would take away the choice.
Wrong yourself. Strong secure identification would be required in places that require identification. Users and useees would make a conscious choice when they are going to act anonymously or allow anonymous participants.
Already 99% of the web effectively identifies users well enough for law enforcement to track them down, this would just bring that process into the light, and when you want anonymity you would take necessary steps to make it true, instead of a false security blanket like all the BTC idiots talked like they had before (and even after) Dredd Pirate Roberts got taken down.

If you’re going to TOR and discard all tracking cookies, and only use anonymized contact methods (not e-mail accounts linked to your credit cards…) then you’re on the right track.
I mean might have to go back to old school with this type of repo, before internet repos were around, have to request for access to the code and confirm you cannot use AI to help you in any way before getting it
Then don’t be prejudice and invent worries about how the code was generated. We have prs for a reason.
