That's exactly what I proceed to, five hundred character limit prevents me from putting it into one comment 😅

@romin @j
I was planning to write a longer post about it — nothing new, just a combination of thoughts from here and there which I find reasonable. Maybe I still will 😅

@romin @j
But again — that is unlikely to happen as most of them are incapable of cooperation (demonstrating the intent by putting words into action to convince others is a huge part of that), and are incapable of writing any code — not everyone, but those who can code are most often surrounded by their "fan club", those who only make matters worse.

@romin @j
I think it would be actually kinda great if they rewrote it from scratch keeping the binary compatibility — as Drew originally suggested (already backtracked on it). Problem is, the crowd which likes "facing the toxicity head on" most likely never intended to write any code — most of them anyway. Putting effort into that might show dedication — demonstrate everyone that they won't abandon it as they often do, which in turn might make some of the Linux maintainers reconsider.

@romin @j
In this particular case there are no good guys, this is a reference case of shit prevailing over the piss. Linux kernel is an absolute clusterfuck — all things considered, it's kinda surprising it works at all, that is precisely why it's insanely hard to maintain in this state.
The cons of Linux kernel are… legacy code, the pros… also legacy code. There are zero good things about it.

And yes, it would be great if they had an account on Fedi, but alas 😩
At least they have an RSS feed, which is good enough for me. Once again, I'm not sure they have an English version of it.

@gabrielesvelto
I'm really thankful to The Insider for, beside their own investigations, going through all these Telegram channels and other social media for great finds like this one, they have linked this one yesterday. But their primary language is Russian so that's not what you might want, they do translations, but not for everything, for the Russia-Ukraine war, I think they post only weekly summaries in English, such as this one: https://theins.ru/en/news/274278

@gabrielesvelto
I think the original source is on Telegram, it's even linked in the screenshot: https://t.me/EjShahidenko/3227
Do they interact with subscribers in the comments? If not, most likely it just gets cross-posted to the former Twitter, so it could be cross-posted here as well — even without their involvement by a bot 🤷

The sanctions are for the peasants, aren't they? 😏
And you, filthy Russian Ivan — good luck explaining why you need a visa when you can just go and die for the glorious Mutha Russia!

I feel old now 😢
I still remember it being current — and taking a cab to my friends from my other friends to flash the optical drive in the Xbox, so it could accept non-original copies of games' media, as none of us had a desktop machine with a compatible interface to connect the drive.
I also remember being "evacuated" from there two days later as we've started a Halo 3 session and I stopped answering the phone🤪
