We need to call them what they are; shills.

You mean a common user experience that leaves many new users frustrated.

That video is of salt water crocodiles. They’re a fair bit more aggressive than Alligators.

Can confirm this is normal in Aus, Ive regularly been asked how much I paid for the house as well, which I have no problem answering.

I’ve seen what happens when one flies into a persons ear canal and gets stuck.

And people wonder why the only bugs that freak me out are cockroaches.

There is a difference between nsfw drawings and nudes of the actual artist

I can only explain the image portion, Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves but cannot recognise them as food when they are off the branch.

It is a joke but there’s a hint of truth in there.

I’m definitely not struggling in life if that helps

Why does every single ADHD meme feel like a personal attack?

My commits have my real name, because I do serious work, and no I won’t be doxxing myself on this account.

I call out brigading

What kind of lazy gaslighting is this? You were part of the brigade. You have literally been participating in the kind of behaviour that Linus has correctly called out as unhelpful.

Please continue to think you’re on the right side of this discussion when the guy you went out to bat for has stepped down as a maintainer and deleted his socials over this.

I will show you mine if you show me yours.

Not that number of commits has anything to do with calling out brigading which you still seem to be committed to.

I don’t for a second believe that religion was required for people to have good morals. It was required for control.

Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you’ve played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.

Oh I expect absolute crickets from all the people who waded into this trashing Hellwig.

Opposition to it is reactionary, not well-grounded in technical merits; most of Linux is not well-proven to be correct, only believed to be correct under typical operating conditions as estimated by several dozen experienced programmers

Try expanding that to ‘overwhelmingly correct as assessed by hundreds of thousands of programmers on tens of millions of systems globally under diverse conditions at a low end ballpark.’

Martin is not a maintainer of the Kernel/DMA which is why Hellwig clearly states he doesn’t want to add another maintainer when rejecting Martin’s offer to be a maintainer of this proposed code.

This is very clear if you read the email. If you don’t like the formatting go read the full email chain yourself, you will know where to find it if you’re so familiar with ‘kernel social dynamics’.

So you think Hellwig doesn’t understand what is and isn’t intended to go into the kernel/dma that dma maintainers would then be responsible for?

You don’t seem to be familiar with either the full conversation the developers had (its all available) or you don’t understand how the Linux project is structured and maintained.

Since there hasn’t been a reply so far, I assume that we’re good with maintaining the DMA Rust abstractions separately.

No, I’m not. This was an explicit:

And I also do not want another maintainer. If you want to make Linux impossible to maintain due to a cross-language codebase do that in your driver so that you have to do it instead of spreading this cancer to core subsystems. (where this cancer explicitly is a cross-languagecodebase and not rust itself, just to escape the flameware brigade).

Hellwig has some excellent points and people are up in arms solely because he’s not giving the green light for the shiny new toy.

Keep the wrappers in your code instead of making life painful for others

This is a perfectly valid approach, anyone claiming he’s resistant for no reason has never tried maintaining a multi language code base.

If you want to use something that’s not C, be that assembly or Rust, you write to C interfaces and deal with the impedance mismatch yourself as far as I’m concerned.

Again an entirely reasonable approach. There is precedence for this approach in the kernel/dma and I see no reason to change this now, unless a full kernel/dma rewrite to Rust were to occur.

Steve was an amazing person but I wouldn’t describe him as chill.

He was pure overwhelming enthusiastic energy.
