@marcan @airlied @shenki @mripard @vbabka 🤷‍♀️

in public discourse it doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter what you thought you've said, it doesn't even matter what you actually said

it also doesn't matter what people actually understood

all that matters is what people think you've thought

and in this case here I can easily see how some people read this all as "yet another kernel maintainer I need to go and beat into shape", and that's not a good look

Well, let me tell you that you shouldn't assume what I (other ppl) have thought. Bc in no way I am thinking he is going against someone, but rather against a portion of code.

It sounds to me that you guys are the ones taking it more personal, whixh I assume is givenby how close to the project you are. But if something is "smelly", it is and that's a fact.

We are now the loser that won't get these informative threads. So thank you...

@hector_sab @marcan @airlied @shenki @mripard @vbabka I forgot to add the qualifier "some" in this toot, earlier ones had it already

it's fixed now

thanks for pointing this out

also somewhat interesting for you to assume I took this personal given that I have a years long track record of massively criticizing the linux kernel community, while still being a major contributor myself. it's absolutely possible to do both, just really hard to do this for years without burning out
