    It's worked for over 30 years, until the slop generators turned on.

    Times change. I’d say if slop finds exploitable bugs, it’s not slop. And if your 30 year old method of doing something doesn’t work anymore, take a few minutes to make a better solution. 🤷‍♂️

    Yes but the problem is that people keep submitting the same bug again and again and again. Some bugs exist because they haven't been spotted, but there's a heckton of bugs that are known about, but no-one has been able to put forward a fix for them yet. Overloading people with duplicate reports just means that they have less time and brainspace available to spend on fixing bugs.

    Duplicates don't add anything to the conversation
