I read that as benefit of the doubt, which is a reasonable stance.

Yeah sure. I manage a ceph cluster (4PB) and have a few other responsibilities at the same time.

I can tell you that ceph is something I don't need to touch every month. Other things I have to baby more regularly

You don't loose any elo if your opponent is much stronger than you. Remis could in theory play a part as well.

Oh I'm already active on irc and still have to send you a few things, but sure always eager to oblige.

Actually listened to the podcast before. Happy that everything with the kernel situation kinda seemed to work out for you.

You kinda talked about ec already, but is there an ETA for resilvering?

You were talking about Valve helping in a big way. Was this monetary or development work? If development I would be interested because a while ago I know you do mainly correctness and features right now, but on the phoronix forum you were talking about low hanging fruits for performance work. Was that something of interest to valve/is it something being done right now to make bcachefs a good fs for gaming (whatever that means...)

You could have chosen the Digipass device (I got mine for free) instead of a smartphone app.

They tried to force me to add my phone number, but when you talk to a Rep you can get out of that too...

I was not claiming dishonesty and I'm sorry if it felt that way. My main problem is that a review of software that is getting updates as often as firefox that is based on 2 year old experience feels so wrong. I myself am no stranger to critizing firefox. They have done some thigns that made me nearly switch multiple times. But especially in recent times I feel that they are finally getting their act together (vertical tabs in firefox, performance optimizations, actually asking for feedback, ...) and I know that for me user reviews on hn are more valuable than random bloggers I find through $searchengine. Your comment is actually way more transparent than those blogs that have no date mapped to them or are just AI spam or whatever so again sorry for not giving credit where credit is due, I just find it unfair to write under a recent article experiences that are far from the present reality. (sorry for rambling and being kinda incoherent)

Yeah and your experience is 2 years out of date. Especially in recent months the firefox for android experience got better exponentially. I am a tab hoarder (a few thousand open tabs) and 2 years ago firefox needed 15 seconds on a fresh start to load. It's instantanious now. Firefox for android tried to force "inactive" tabs down my throat (I'm sure it helps, but no I don't want it. You can easily disable it in the tabs settings btw). Tabs that didn't get used for 2 weeks get put in an "inactive" state. A few months ago switching to an open tab took a few seconds up to a minute. For a month or two it's now instantanious. There are way more optimizations done and I can often tell right away when something got better or worse. Suffice to say your "experience" is so much out of date it is not even funny. Comparing firefox 2 years ago today is a joke and firefox feels completely different (user interface and speed) and your comment only spreads FUD. Anybody reading this that hasn't tried firefox for android - give it a try!

Where I live no 64GB SD card is 4$ and more like 8$-12$ and the quality of those is shit. Even if they were 4$ I would still see it as an absolute waste of money and storage. You _will_ have a better gaming experience using a cheap nvme/ssd. Like I said for games that would require a 64GB SD card sd-speed is too slow. For the full old school console experience you should use a console and not emulate the nostalgia (oh and this doesn't feel nostalgic to me at all)

> most people had less than a dozen games per console.

This isn't a console and if you want to for instance emulate every of the dozen games per console you would for 10 consoles still need 120 SD cards at the price you listed this would add up to 480$ for that price you could buy one fast and reliable nvme that would fit your needs...

Kind of a bad example. Firstly because you are comparing windows with the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel has excellent backwards compatibility. Every feature introduced will be kept if removing it could break a userland application.

Linus is very adamant about "not breaking userspace"

The main problem with backwards compatibility (imho) is glibc. You could always ship your software with all dynamic lobs that you need, but glibc does make it hard because it likes to move awkward and break things.
