Despite having a thick skin, the whole experience felt very lonely. I received less support than I would have hoped for. What surprised me the most, though, was something else. Multiple people contacted me privately. They didn't just express their support, but also told they didn't dare speaking out in public. This included at least one kernel maintainer. I can't help feeling this is a sign that something is going wrong in the kernel community or the industry at large. Or probably both. (2/5)

Sometimes I wonder how much suffering and evil could have been avoided if we had just listened to Chesterton talking about that fence.

I am so done with Flathub.

First you have to spend hours rebuilding the entire world just to package the simplest thing, then you have to fight with Flathub admins about the application not feeling native enough on Gnome, which apparently is the only desktop environment that exists.

It is such an incredible waste of developer time just because you can't find any maintainers that know how to properly package an application…
