Leavers vs. putters

Young, female.

Don’t get one if you ever intend to travel together and don’t have parents/close friends to leave them with. Cats are amazing but after they develop their little neuroticisms, you’ll never feel comfortable leaving them with strangers.

If you live in a house in anything but the most remote places, keep them locked up otherwise they’ll go missing one day and it’ll break your heart.

Other than that there’s not much that can go wrong, just pick the one you vibe more with and that’s it.

It’s always been this way. Except that it was kernel developers arguing with kernel developers over C code. Now it’s relative newcomers arguing with kernel developers over Rust code that the kernel devs don’t necessarily care about. Of course it’s going to be a mess.

A fork is of course possible, but operating systems are huge and very complex, you really don’t want to alienate these folks that have been doing exclusively this for 30 years. It would be hard to keep the OS commercially viable with a smaller group and having to do both the day to day maintenance, plus the rewrite. It’s already difficult as it is currently.

Rust will be a huge success in time, long after the current names have lost their impetus. This is not a “grind for 4 years and it’s done” project.

Phew! Glad you guys figured it out.

So a Bulgarian sewer?

I just block everything that has the words “news” or “meme” in them. That already avoids you 90% of bad news and disgrace.

Of course it’s not the right place, what’s aww about a cat with a bite hole in its face?

Stop using your (?) injured cat to fish for stranger’s money.

Yeah, I agree. People are stupid. Let their pets roam around and then come to the internet with an inflammatory “someone shot my cat” post. Of course you’re not being neglectful, it was definetely the imaginary bad neighbour with a gun.

People who use spaces are not taping space space space space space space space space. Their tapping the tab key all the same.

Wow, super newsworthy. Even included some bs about “colorful language”. Can’t let a thing like that go by without trying to entice some internet drama.

Typical for a group of people that probably dedicated their whole careers to Windows. Could have just put it plainly that they don’t want to pay engineers that have the skills to do this on Linux.

Indeed there are.

In the face of “endless sins”, knees buckling seems like a pretty mild punishment. Count me in.

Option 3, final answer.

Good, I already don’t answer the phone anyway.

I’m too colorblind to know if this is a joke.

Mate, just make sure you’re not getting into trouble with all that positive thinking, ok? Take care.

What do you mean, no?

No one cares. Adoption of operating systems in the real world is not done based on popularity charts. Those only serve for memes and flamewars.

I’m sorry, but all of this was caused by your defensive and mildly aggressive response when he implied your patches were broken.

That whole PR was already confusing with all the rework and mentions of other people’s code and the inclusion of good code along with bad code.

When it was suggested that the foruns would be a good place I read it more like a “stop spamming us with experimental code”. Your suggestion to remove the experimental tag led them to think you were trying to shut them down and push stuff anyway.

This has all been a major misunderstanding. The fact that you took that so poorly (IMO, since you’re even posting about it here), means that maybe you should try to take a step back when this sort of thing happens, try to look at things from their perspective, and generally don’t assume ill intent.

Open source is hard because it is a communication heavy discipline and not everyone is used to that.
