This comment sounds like it was produced by an LLM trained on the Phoronix comment section.

Fantastic news. AMD's linux graphics drivers have mostly worked great for me but this has been the one exception that I've hit multiple times.

They are objectively in a worse financial position. I wasn't getting advertisements for female sex toys (I'm male) on Twitter before Musk took over. That's a long way to fall.

Not to mention the externality of having extra people floating around who know intimate details of the nations nuclear weapons secrets, who you have now pissed off. I'm sure anyone who has been entrusted with such a position is fairly

Why the fuck did they need to be fired on such short notice?

by dralley 2y ago
I don't think you're ever going to get details on exactly what people working in such a facility do, dude. The fact that they turned around and tried to rehire them before even 24 hours had passed should probably be a sign.

>Or is the job of those employees so vital that they could never be considered for firing? The article does not state what their actual occupations are. They build, maintain and run security for the US nuclear weapons stockpile. This was

Right. As much as I like nuclear, you could overbuild solar or wind by a factor of 3 in half the time and pay the whole project off before the nuclear project even gets finished.

IIRC they also had problems with the water intake at one of the nuclear power plants freezing up, so that had to shut down too. There's no magic source of power that is immune from needing to prepare for exceptional weather conditions.

Doesn't sound much like free speech either. Neither does banning the AP for refusing to use "Gulf of America" sound much like free press.

"if you match upstream" Talk about aggressively missing the point.

I mean, no, because the straightforwards reading of his first email doesn't match with the facts. He said "no rust code in kernel/DMA" when the patch did not add any rust code to kernel/DMA. The fact that the patch

This is Germany, they let themselves get a bit lax. Also it sounds like it was pre-commissioning, so it hadn't been delivered to the Navy yet.

This seems quite ironic to say when the whole drama started with Christoph not even looking at the patches long enough to see what directory they were in before rejecting them.

There are already kernels written in Rust. Telling them to go write new kernels in Rust is like telling people working on a new audio workstation that they should write a package manager instead. A new kernel that they cannot practically

The reasoning Linus himself gives for greenlighting Rust is, among other things, to avoid stagnation. So OP's description seems more apt than yours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvuEYtkOH88&t=367s

The Linux kernel was that way for a while, years ago.

Typhoid famously caused silent infections in some people, so no, not necessarily. Just because it's asymptomatic for the original infected doesn't mean it'll stay that way if they transmit it to others. Plus one of the most

There's little real difference between OBS packaged as flatpak and OBS packaged as distro RPMs. This is basically the same conflict between upstreams and distro developers that has been raging since time immemorial.

You're imposing your own rationales on top of CH, not expressing his own. He expressed complete opposition to having Rust anywhere in the kernel at all, including places he doesn't maintain. He was opposed to any other maintainer

That has already been the case with Asahi Linux - for years. It exists as a series of forked packages. The thing is, you do still have to present a light at the end of the tunnel. If, after years of time investment and proven commitment,

>Is it wrong for Linus to take the side of the kernel and not of the various distros? Serious question. I don't completely understand all of the background here. Linus is pro-R4L. He wants to see Rust drivers in the kernel upstream

If a subsystem C developer makes a change and introduces a bug in another driver or subsystem (also written in C) as a result, then you would expect them to be able to help at least insofar as explaining what they changed. That isn't &
