We need to call them what they are; shills.

They think farmland in higher latitudes will be more productive.

Now you can think about why they want Canada so badly.

We were using the IPs and post times to identify accounts, then checking IPs that connected to our VOIP servers so we could identify spies and either remove them or feed them false intel.

Basic counter-intel work and all for a video game heh.

We used to do this on the EVE online forums until CCP caught on and banned inline images.

Not to mention that he’s setting up a child to be indoctrinated their whole life.

Yes, that’s how computers work. Like all other depreciating assets.

Sounds like he made poor choices, got Nissan into financial troubles and somehow thinks he’s negotiating on even footing with the much larger and healthier manufacturer Honda.

My question is less about the OS than it is the manufacturers paying to advertise on X. Buying from them is supporting X indirectly.

I did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?

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.

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.

From the email chain:

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.

You don’t need to pose that question because you aren’t getting a 50,000mbps connection, as you’re not in China.

The intermediaries care. This is very obvious.

FYI a vasectomy isn’t a 100% guarantee against getting a woman pregnant as it can sometimes heal, even years after.

A DNA test should still have been ordered in that circumstance.
