178I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

Agreeing with the message but not the delivery I feel is true for many aspects of discussion about the kernel 🙃

@denix @pdp7 I don't do any real work on it, but it is nice to have something plain-text capable that fits in my pocket.
I was at FOSDEM for the weekend and left my laptop at home but kept up with everything while away using it.
I wouldn't do "real" work with it, but if I can respond to someone in the gym at 0530 while waiting between sets or w/e then it's pretty useful.

@marcan That thread pissed me off. Total "perfect is the enemy of good" behaviour & lacking in respect for contributor time.
The "In 30+ years of programming..." comment really bothered me, I'd opened up my mail client to reply before deciding to not get involved.
Why accept 30+ years of bullshit rather than try to change things? "Inflicting" the crap you have/had to deal with on other contributors isn't okay IMO.
Twisting his own words, "we need to learn to swallow that, accept the patches, and move forward. Don't be discouraging"!

Asking a contributor to resubmit a patchset because they have a v4: above information that totally belongs in the commit history is utterly fucking ridiculous IMO.
The maintainer of a driver/subsystem is not the only person whose time is valuable. /shrug

Shame that the RISC-V and Kernel devrooms at FOSDEM tomorrow clash time wise.
I suppose it's convenient that most of the kernel room is about BPF/fs & meeting people is more beneficial than attending talks.
PWM talk and then try to get into the RISC-V room I guess...

I like the healthy dose of scepticism about marketing claims that meeting people in person at conferences provides :)

@monsieuricon @wagi Look how far north Ireland is, but the gulf stream does us serious favours :)

@kernellogger I know little about building kernels for commodity hardware, but for my boxes I build deb-pkg by setting LOCALVERSION on the command line when calling make. Just makes me curious if the wacky looking sed command could be avoided.

@kernellogger out of curiosity reading through, what's the difference between setting "EXTRAVERSION" as opposed to "LOCALVERSION"?

@ljs On Windows in Chrome it works automagically for lore, google search etc (iirc if you use system theme), but not for more complex sites. There's a flag that can be set in the browser that forces dark mode everywhere, but it makes very poor colour choices. I look at lore a good bit in the dark and yeah - similar eye burning affect there!
