TLDR is that Mint uses an older version of the GNOME calendar app, and since users submit bug reports to GNOME when it breaks, its maintainer comes into the PR to deamand that Clement remove it from Mint, or remove GNOME branding. However, the app is pulled in directly from Debian, so the demand is retarded from the start, but as retards do, the GNigger does not relent. Below is a paste of the key parts of this discussion, which you can read in full here [A]:

Can I get a quick run down on this bun rewrite in Rust and why everyone is mad? Is it because it was originally written in (ewwy) zig?

Anthropic forked zig and added a bunch of optimizations, but zig maintainers have a hardline anti-AI policy where they refuse anything that touched AI, so Anthropic can't merge it upstream.

Zig maintainers have said though that they will not merge this not even due to the AI policy, but because they don't like the direction of the MR, and they have also already implemented similar optimizations that offer the same performance boost.

Meanwhile, somebody at Anthropic started an experimental project where they just gave Claude bun source code and told it to create a 1-1 translation of the code to Rust. I dont think they have any intention of actually replacing bun with this. The code is translated very closely to the original zig source to the point where it even copied some idiosyncrasies that don't make sense in Rust and the code ended up not being very idiomatic.
