The cat is not mine :(

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

@monsieuricon hey Konstantin, b4 question for you: Is there some special case that causes a `b4 shazam -s -t https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y+v%2FYu%2FELfzx954s@spud/` to apply my R-b here without complaining about the email mismatch?

@marcan @llvm yah I prefer it without but not to the point that I'd not change. Thanks!

@llvm @marcan Hmm, been playing with it a bit but have got stuck trying to figure out which option controls the following:

@axboe @ljs @marcan woops, hit send too soon! Was going to point out that calling out shite has to come from prolific people down.
And to behavior from maintainers/reviewers and cantankerous contributors alike!

@axboe @ljs @marcan to be honest, it'd be great if people with your profile *did* get involved more.

In today's one, I agree with stuff on both sides. Especially as a relative newcomer on the experience on that end I quite like a lot of the suggestions!
I intend going out and getting the clang-format stuff working, for instance :)

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

@llvm @marcan Right, but my perspective is a bit warped due to the "flaws" with the kernel's clangd integration.

@marcan that seems very close to sane! The corner that I am directly responsible for is small too, but I'll give it a try there (albeit with UT_Always). Thanks!

@marcan if it means fewer respins for checkpatch reporting minor stuff, or less time spent fixing it on behalf of people that's a win in my book. Curious how you get on!

@marcan does the in-kernel .clang-format do the right thing*?

@palmer hmph, not exactly glowing - but I shouldn't throw stones in a glasshouse...

@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.

@broonie which seems perfectly fair. The wording I initially used to tell people not to resubmit was poor and people did the exact opposite of what I wanted them to do..

@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...
