You'd expect me to go on about this recent drama but I don't even.

@liskin think my take is worth more than most given I'm actually an mm dev who saw it happen in real time (+ other stuff) rather than a rubbernecker ;) but anyway.

It's summarised by others better, so I retooted that...

@liskin last time I did nobody seemed to give a shit and they all rather grandstand or listen to big mouths who have no fucking clue.

And I got abuse for not immediately joining a lynching party last time too.

So yeah, it's not really worth the effort + stress, people don't care about facts they just want easy black + white drama

@liskin @ljs i think this one is fascinating and useful to follow. maybe because kent took things far enough to become a caricature for problems that are not unique to him. his article reads like a biblical text, interpretation totally dependent on expectations.

expecting it to confirm that he's a genius victim of protective old farts detached from reality? phoronix readers and the sole commenter of the article seems to think that.

somebody drowning meaning in sophistry and omitting the important stuff to manipulate the narrative? here you go.

cry of an autistic person despairing about too many feelings and too little facts? i think it's there too

@liskin @ljs i've read the article in full, and can't help thinking; lubomir -- you're also like that. do not be!

i'd hate to think this is beyond change. i do hope i've managed to leave some of these behaviors behind.

also left people who are like this behind, concluding compassion and attempts to understand and communicate are not going to get them anywhere and the only think that would help is something that shatters their world completely instead of validating it. which i consider a tragedy.

@ljs

By this point, I wouldn't be surprised if bcachefs got thrown out of Kernel 6.13 and Greg decided to make 6.13 instead of 6.12 the next LTS kernel so he won't have to carry bcachefs for a whole LTS cycle…

You being an mm dev, I'm surprised you call it a "cannon" and not a "distance allocator" 😇
