@lproven@social.vivaldi.net Thanks, I'm aware, and when I'm SSH'd into a server I usually use screen since it's damn near universal.
This isn't about tmux itself though, it's about the silence on the part of the OpenBSD leadership on the move to slopcoding in a project they have in base. I feel it's a serious issue especially regarding copyright and licenses; there's no way to guarantee that the code used by the LLM in this commit is not from a GPL'd or otherwise problematic source.
Even putting my own misgivings about vibecoding and "AI" aside, the license issue alone should be enough to ask the tmux devs to revert this commit, or else drop the tmux project from base entirely in favor of something that isn't potentially polluting OpenBSD with code of questionable origin.

@kaidenshi@exquisite.social No no, I really do get -- and share -- the concern. It was merely a passing thought. I am banned from the OpenBSD subreddit for daring to criticise someone's attack on me subsequent to me reviewing the latest version on The Register. I am trying to contact Theo de Raadt directly to see if he has any comment.
