@davidgerard It's also telling that the download location named in the release announcement is not the GNU website, but a libertarian blockchain.

Ole Tange, the guy who named the latest version of GNU Parallels "Nazi Dogwhistle Calling Non-Whites Rapists" just happens to have worked on a tool for determining ancestry from DNA
i'm sure it's fine
https://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/30/20/2962/2422219
EDIT: apparently it is fine - a geneticist friend tells me that ancestry dna software like wot our friend worked on is absolutely mainstream and not a tell of anything malign

It's at least as bad as you're picturing. If not worse.

@ilmari @Bredroll @scy @davidgerard nice! I think this might do almost everything I use parallel for, and I feel like the rest can probably be handled by a bash wrapper around this
and it’s very cozily stable software which is appropriate, cause parallel is the kind of thing that deserves to be finished eventually

@ilmari @Bredroll @scy @davidgerard oh shit and I can script this one without it filling my terminal with text demanding that I cite it in the research I’m not doing

good news, instead of GNU Parallel, use the Debian replacement
https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/moreutils/parallel.1.en.html
by Tollef Fog Heen as part of Joey Hess's moreutils
also doesn't nag you to cite it in the research you're not doing
also not distributed primarily via LBRY, the video site on the blockchain run by the out and proud white supremacist
