Oh wow, what a loss for RH! https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20251103103659.379335-1-david@kernel.org/T/#u

I've found that often people ask advice and want a _certain kind of reply_.
Then I give my actual one and get ignored.
This is why I don't really bother replying to 'how do you get started in the kernel' type questions so much now :)
People want some dopamine hit 'inspirational' message that massages their ego.
And you can find ENDLESS fuckers on this site who will give you that, the type who wear fancy scarfs and never reply to anybody who is 'below' them.
But they're lying to you guys.
The truth is the truth.
I have the same experience when people ask about weight loss...
It's very much the case that holywood/internet versions of laudable qualities are in strict contrast to how they actually look.
Courage, persistence, resilience, strength are all extremely gritty, nasty, unpleasant things that often get you ostracised.
Much easier to kid yourself and live in some opium-fuelled dream of how the world is. But people don't seem to like to wake up to that :)
