I second this. Please keep pushing through and don't let the peanut gallery get to you. bcachefs is our only realistic chance to bring our filesystem game into the 21st century, given that the little hope we might have had in Oracle has not been realized.

The only "junk" I'm seeing here is your comment. If you don't find bcachefs interesting, please move along and keep your bitter thoughts to yourself. Last thing we need is more assholes harassing Kent into throwing in the towel on the best GPL-compatible alternative to ZFS we're likely to have in decades.

Brave is building something that sounds like it might be right up your alley, but adoption of their payment system has been rather low, and I doubt Mozilla has enough street cred to be more successful after the last ten years of their mismanagement and the market share hovering just above 0%.

Diversity of opinion and experience is extremely important. Not diversity of your bedroom preferences or any other superficial characteristics that have no relation to technical qualities. Saying otherwise is racist and *ist by definition.

Comments on those articles always go down the shitter. I petitioned the editors to disable commenting on them, and you can do the same -- politely and humbly, of course.

The contact information is on the website, whoever wants to, will find it easily.

Sure, but the least we can do is support the few sane places that still remain, like rtings. Lest they follow the way of AnandTech and we're forced to scroll through hours of video to get the same information contained in a ten-minute text article, with interactive charts and comparison tools.

Video was a mistake. Even high quality YouTube tech channels (like GamersNexus) work far better in a text format where you can compare benchmark results without running the video in mpv, taking dozens of screenshots, and then painstakingly comparing them. And that channel has a charismatic anchor, unlike many.

At least they have a website with the same material.

Have a look at rtings and try to come up with an idea how to make this work in a video format:

https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/logitech/g305-lightspee...

without losing 90% of information and getting shitty jokes instead.
