nofunsir is a stoichastic parrot, matching to a bit in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, wherin the protagonist should have known to protest a plan to demolish his home where plans where clearly documented in a hard to find place that they could not have known about. It is not a good pattern match, because git has been discussing this in public on documented mailing lists for years.

No I'm not. Real thumbs here. If anything this paragraph sounds like LLM slop

Run it through pangram if you want, I wrote it with my human brain. What I did not do, however, was parrot an inapplicable quote.

In what way has git's discussion of their move been hidden away in a metaphorical basement?

That comment was short enough that you'd really have to be naive to think a tool could reasonably detect if it was authored by an LLM.

Additionally, as someone who read Hitchiker's guide to the Galaxy ~3 decades ago, I managed to suspect it was a reference to it, even if the reference wasn't the most applicable

I'm sure the cellar was also documented, Arthur eventually found it, did he not?

Mailing lists are basements in 2026

		Since 1999, we've had Google to help people find things. True, a mailing list isn't an Instagram reel delivered directly to your face with audio and blasted out on Fox News, but if one was interested in the development of git, an LLM or a Google search would readily tell you about the existence of those mailing lists.
