150I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@cas @luana Yeah, I think it's less of a issue in U-Boot cos Tom sees everything pretty much. Tom's great, but that's only possible cos ultimately the volume is about the size of a larger Linux subsystem AFAICT. It's much more noticeable in Linux for new SoC vendor stuff - drivers/soc and dts stuff is what I've mostly seen fall into the abyss of noone knowing who is meant to deal with it.

@cas @luana "Deciding which maintainer will pick up a patch series (or subset thereof) is somewhat arbitrary, depending on the series in question, other changes in-flight, and a bunch of other complicated context." One of the worst things in that regard is when you've got a new soc vendor and some newer contributors so noone's go the foggiest who should apply patches for it.

Heh, spotted and corrected a "noth" typo to "both".
It has been nice to play games that don't make me hate every other player of the game, that and a streak of AAA type games I wanted to play ending up being really bad had me burnt out of gaming for quite a while.

My profile says I am a bad video game enjoyer, but in the last year I dropped all "competitive" games and played MMOs (both wow and ffxiv), Last Epoch, Path of Exile and a bunch of single player games: Cyberpunk 2077, Everspace 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Baldur's Gate 3 and all the old Halo Campaigns (not Halo 5, I chose to pretend that doesn't exist). I think that makes me a good video game enjoyer :)

@elly @sterophonick @frog The way it's meant to work is that if you get your bindings upstream, then Linux will stay compatible with those. Obviously every rule has some exceptions, but that's the policy we "inflict" on people and do our best to prevent that breaking.
What ends up happening though is that while the description for a particular peripheral etc is stable and Linux tries to be backwards compatible, the actual dts files often evolve over time, with new peripherals being added etc. Cos of thatm you need to update the dtb get the new support. In an ideal world where every SoC and board was in mainline before customers got it, you'd not need to change anything.

Always nice to write some code for a new feature, but end up removing as much code as you add :)

msw@mstdn.social@Conan_Kudo Moderating the rate shouldn't be the main goal. Ensuring CVEs are allocated for legitimate potential security issues, and not for ones that aren't legitimate potential issues, should be a goal.
The rate is what the rate is, given the rate of defects identified, IMHO.

Baldur's Gate 3 would be the best single player game I've ever played if it were not based on D&D.
