@0xabad1dea sad

@0xabad1dea wait what?

@ariadne good god why?

@ariadne well gosh if it bothered them, they could always have kept on maintaining it themselves.

@ariadne their mail relay will of course want to know

@ariadne it's like your brexit moment i suppose. what it ultimately should have come down to was "so if we do leave the EU, do you trust these clowns to do a good job of it?".

@ariadne yeah and i'm not sure whether that's meant as criticism or praise either

@ariadne nah, they've got a reputation for fucking people over little mistakes, like most tax agencies.

@ariadne in practice? no. in principle? maybe. but i think taxes are the least of the reasons why noone likes the IRS in particular.

@ariadne only mostly bullshit - they have correctly identified noone likes the IRS

@ariadne

according to Yarvin

only the most respected scholars in this shitfest, i see.

did something big in rust happen at the start of this month? because i am speaking to people about more rust jobs this month than in the year preceding.

@jalefkowit have you had problems with suspend to ram too perchance?

@jalefkowit i dunno, he might be called something like cletus and not actually notice you aiming

@jalefkowit can we rely on you to save us in a bank heist?

@gsuberland @ariadne @danderson ted t'so (who received that legal advice too) has hinted that there might be a workaround whereby they can still submit patches provided it's done in an open venue like the lkml

@ariadne me neither, but he received that legal advice too, and that's basically the most info we've got and it's the only reason i'm not more annoyed at linus.

@ariadne it comes across as "if you criticise me you are a russian agent", and uh, no.

and i'm not rushing to any judgment about that because we still don't actually know what the situation is because they haven't actually published the legal advice.

i saw ted t'so suggesting that they can still actually contribute, in fact.

@ariadne yeah he did kinda lose his mind in a way that worries the fuck out of me.

hopefully things will become more clear when the legal advice is published but shitting hell linus, grow up and apologise.

@ariadne keep politics out of my hustle
