I am also aggressive over the internet. I don't know why. I'm so chill IRL.
Ive learned to copypaste my message and ask chatgpt to make it nice, but not eliminate the point.
I don't copypaste what it says, but I do find sentences that are nice, but still make my point. Its sooo good.
I will actually think about that: English is not my first language, and I feel like I sometimes unwillingly sound aggressive.
I think most people agree that such an ancient kernel is awful and can understand the comical take of that title. No where have I claimed their project is bad.
> So you just come and drop a huge PR that you haven't tested
I actually wrote a response to this in this thread, but the parent comment was deleted.
tl;dr I had actually compared it to match kernel, for the original Google Pixel, and fixed it like matching so it was actually quite likely to work.
I did not find it comical at all, and I thought you were a jerk. And I have read many messages from you in different places (HN, the /e/ forums, git repos, etc), and every single time, I think you are a jerk.
Also my post above has a score of +17 (honestly I never get that many upvotes here), so I wouldn't think that most people think your PR was comical.
You can choose to ignore this and keep believing that most people find you funny, or you can try to reflect on it and possibly improve your communication skills.
I don't really care, to be honest. I just wouldn't want to work with you given how you communicate online.
You literally used the word "comical" in the previous post. English is not my language, but if I search for a definition, I get: "comical: arousing or provoking laughter".
> I think how you seek me out each time to call me names is.
I agree, it is actually funny, because I don't look for you. As I said, I don't want to be related to DivestOS because you seem toxic. I don't even know or recognize your usernames on the different forums, but somehow I seem to recognize your style ("That person is a bit of a jerk - wait, is it the DivestOS author, again?").
Also I wouldn't say I "seek you out each time to call you names", it's the second time in quite a while (unless there was a third and I had not even realized it was you again?).
> You literally used the word "comical" in the previous post. English is not my language, but if I search for a definition, I get: "comical: arousing or provoking laughter".
One can make an attempt at humour without the whole audience necessarily finding it funny. I was not confused by SubzeroCarnage's wording at all.
You call them out for lacking communication skills and being offensive, but if anything you're the one with lacking English comprehenshion, lashing out because of a misunderstanding on your part.
They said:
> I think most people [...] can understand the comical take of that title.
I said:
> I did not find it comical at all
To which they answered:
> I never claimed to be funny
To which I answered that their previous message literally said "the title I wrote was comical".
As you mentioned, I am "lacking English comprehenshion". Can you explain to me how saying "I wrote a comical sentence" does not imply "claiming to be funny"?
For instance, let's look at what you describe here as "my PR was fixing a ton of stuff but it was ignored and closed".
First, the title of your PR is "Make the kernel less awful"... really? How would you feel if I opened a PR saying "Make DivestOS suck a little less, but let's be honest, it will still be a piece of shit after that"?
Not even mentioning that you say "Untested, but shouldn't require more than a handful drop/reverts". So you just come and drop a huge PR that you haven't tested, and then you complain that others don't pick it up?
Before closing your PR, the maintainer said:
> Don't get me wrong, it's impressive, but there's no way I'm going to merge this. You can't send someone 424 patches to a repo and expect them to stop everything they're doing for a month and checking them one by one in case just one of them fucks up the entire system (or contains some kind of malicious code), even less so on a 3.18.140 kernel that originally comes from Qualcomm.
That is very fair, and I would not call that "being ignored" at all.
Keep up the good work, and learn to communicate in a constructive way!
