When it comes to open source contributions I have always like 10 of them going on in some phases but usually turn-down time is like two'ish years. It does not make sense to continue at the time if you lost direction and things tend kept backed in the public Internet :-)

Fuck, it is hard to touch over year old kernel code and it looks ugly as hell but I finally moved my ass and started to decompose and compose video-loop's code. First goal is to get it behind file descriptor life-cycle, limit /dev/videoX only for readers and stream with VB2.
In OOT driver the single biggest glitch is to have a racy produce-consumer model based on device node. Many have asked me to revisit the thread that discussed it in LKML but I actually have not done it because I can immediately see what is wrong in big picture. It's that and also common issue for OOT driver i.e., they tend to become "wish baskets of features" where nothing is ever removed and things are piled up inconsistently.
It would totally worthless to spend time on reading comments on a design that I don't believe in and could distract on being productive ;-) And I can stand any shit storm, it's a professional skill really and like any other day at the office so fuck with that...
I hope I get something running tonight :-)

@securepaul Also the irony is that US special forces visit regularly in Scandinavian countries in order to learn the skills on how to operate in arctic conditions, and defend the territory.

@securepaul Yeah, comparing Denmark to Venezuela as a society was sort of arrogance that actually made me angry. I mean they've lost most people per capita than any other NATO ally in wars started by US.
I would not be surprised if all Fentanyl was coming from Greenland to US suddenly.

@securepaul Ah, OK, have not been a common visitor in recent years (as you know). Then there should not be a problem. Thanks for the correction :-)

If you put Apple’s designs in reverse order it looks like the portfolio of a designer becoming really really good at their job 😂

It seems that Windows is purposely made worse version by version, and it is probably a strategy (i.e. not a mistake).
Still, what if the AI/subscription crap does not pay off or the market segment suffers a major decay?
Often history shows that when a company attacks to its own genes in the favor of profit, at some point this tends shoot back.
I'm worried about Windows, I always have at least one Thinkpad with Windows installed, and in the end of the day NT kernel itself is pretty cool entity (if you are interested on OS kernels).
Also, what is there to hate if Windows deceases :-/

mjg59@nondeterministic.computerIt is actually kind of wild that we're simultaneously in an era of people complaining that Wayland is destroying choice and also maybe the greatest number of high-quality desktop environments aimed at different use cases the free software world has ever had

Interesting tidbit in history of US special forces is that lots of that expertise transfered to US after the second world war from Finland, when many of the long-range patrolmen had to flee from Finland after the war. They became soon educators and developers of practices and strategies on how special forces work over there, including combat strategies and also things like how to provide food and nutrition for the teams at the field.
In Fort Carson, Colorado, there's even a special forces building named after a Finnish soldier, and associated annual price [1].

Attacking to any of countries, or associated autonomous territories in the arctic region here in the cold and dark north would not be a walk in the park for any adversary.
Also, Denmark to its size has lost most soldiers per capita than any of the NATO allies in recent'ish wars started by US (mainly Afganistan and Irak).
The storyline that thanks to US protecting us our territories are safe is total bullshit. If anywhere in the world, in the north it is all about mutual benefit in defence and security when it comes to NATO.
E.g., US trains it special forces for arctic conditions in Finland from time to time.
