Seriously I doubt he knows how to fix that, or that he fully gets the root cause and why the "fix" works.

I know absolutely nothing about coding but I have a gut feeling it wouldn't do jackshit.

 

[AirdropShitposts]

Honestly I'm tempted to remove this workaround and watch all the GRUB systems break with the next kernel update.

No, you're not. A real autistic elitist like Stallman or somebody would actually do it and tell the users to fuck off for not running a properly maintained system.

 

[PedoSec]

Yeah, he really does.
* No spaces after if or for
* Indentation of preprocessor directives
* Putting the return type after the function name in C++ (e.g. auto func() -> int). Doubly weird in a codebase that mixes C and C++, as you can't do this in C.
All of which are quite unusual.

Lethalbit uses the .cc file extension for C++ rather than .cpp, which IIRC is a Googlism - so it's possible he met Hector there.

I was curious, so I went and compared byuu's C++ in that bsnes repo with some of lethalbit's. In the bsnes code I immediately noticed the "no spaces after if or for" and the lambda-style -> return type in function declarations but couldn't find any examples of "indentation of preprocessor directives," so I'm not sure what that means exactly. There's e.g. this file where I would have expected to see "preprocessor indentation" but did not.

In lethalbit's code, I wasn't able to find any examples of "no spaces after if or for" or lambda-style return types in non-lambda function declarations, but I did notice indentation of preprocessor directives, for example here (scroll down a bit to see more of it) and here (again, scroll down for the really juicy stuff).

Conclusion: no stylistic overlap under the evaluated criteria.

GRUB is broken y'all, and this is the kind of nonsense we have to do to keep it from going kaboom.

You'd have to be a fool to trust a fat autistic faggot like this who constantly threatens to break things maliciously out of pure spite.

#ifdefs etc. traditionally aren't indented at all, but Byuu indents them within curly brackets. Or maybe he just does it with #include? See https://github.com/byuu/bsnes/blob/master/bsnes/gb/Core/gb.c. Either way, it's unusual. lethalbit is also doing something weird with them, but I don't think they're the same person.

It looks like Hector's found his thread. Hi Hector.

 

[Deranged Deez]

Just looking through the replies in the top post in the screenshot above

Glad to see trans and trans adjacent people have some common sense in this regard. Personally I don't even hate trans people, I just believe in net neutrality. Meanwhile, here's 2 cis men telling this person off

I for one am glad to side with transgender people in favor of net neutrality, and think it's absolutely hilarious to have trans people be on the same side of a conflict as the Kiwi Farms

 

[Maximum Girl]

They seem conflicted but they sure are very close to understanding.

Lol he's such a KF obsessive he weighed in on a niche 3 page thread nobody cares about and used it to attack Rossmann. (Daniel Micay's thread) I would be surprised if he didn't read his own thread the minute it went live.

I hate people who perpetuate the lie that we've murdered people/bullied them into suicide or that we aggregate trolls for the purpose of targeted harassment ops. I also hate people who target children for their degenerate sexual fetishes. They just happen to always be troons.

 

[Dire Dire Cocks]

The one thing I dislike about the EFF article is that it includes all the lies about us as fact. “Universally hated, harassment campaigns, etc”.

I'm not really sure what "marginalized" means at this point, apart from a group that the left seems to like. Troons are the biggest bullies and bigots known to man, but they're always top of the list for some reason.

Ah, yes. Because if there is one thing the internet lacks, its pornography.

Kiwifarms is marginalized, regardless of what they think.

That's because they are the fucking top. Aot of these troons have or come from money, that's what allows them to worry about frivolities like amholes in the first place, and like with liz fong Jones they all have the connections needed to allow them to shut down dissent.

The nobility always breeds degeneracy.

I have to wonder - is Martin even aware his bookmarks are public? It could be like how many people don't know your likes are public on Twitter and Twitter will randomly show your likes to people who follow you.

Additionally, on Pixiv, it’s retardedly difficult to privatize likes. There isn’t a singular account-wide toggle like on say Twitter, it’s instead an individual toggle for every piece. On Mobile at least you have to hold down to access the menu, click your options from there, and then click out. While normally liking is just a single tap because the former is only a couple years old at most. So anything pre-2020 or so has always been public to my knowledge. And this may be different for Premium users, which makes his public pornography even funnier considering he’s still paying for it despite seemingly abandoning the account.

Asahi Fedora had a small hiccup where a bug during GRUB update rendered the system unbootable

Damn Kiwi(s) sabotaging Tranny Linux again. He is not explaining the root cause, even after he edited it later when the issue was fixed, just threw some u-boot commands (that's the bootloader that runs before GRUB) with no explanation. Not the kind of performance I would expect from a maintainer.

Honestly I'm tempted to remove this workaround and watch all the GRUB systems break with the next kernel update.
GRUB is broken y'all, and this is the kind of nonsense we have to do to keep it from going kaboom.

Just because the OS is considered a prerelease, it does not excuse soft bricking people's machines. If you go to https://www.fedora-asahi-remix.org/ and even read the FAQ there is no warning that users should expect that high severity bugs like this happening where your computer is unusable for days before a solution is shared. Fedora Asahi Linux is close to being officially released and was even planned to be officially released at the end of August 2023 before it got delayed. If this update to kiwi had happened a month later, I would expected this issue to still hit end users.

Not only is the severity of what happens being played down, there is no acknowledgement that anything should be done to make things better going forward so that this doesn't happen again. In fact there are many ways that this could be handled better that isn't adding a boot diagnostic boot mode:

• Automated testing can be done to make sure installing the OS and then upgrading grub does not prevent the system from properly booting
• Treating boot issues that people report with higher severity to shorten the time it takes to release a fix
• While the grub2-common install script makes a backup of the stub grub config file, it could also be made to make a backup of the actual grub config file which could be used as a fallback if the main config does not work
• The system could check to make sure the grub config file is valid at the end of the postinstall including checking that the config does not get into an infinite loop by sourcing itself
• If the system detects that grub was unable to boot it could automatically run the same commands from the forum post to actually get it to at boot up so it can be updated
• Updates like this can be made automatic so that people with a broken config do not have to discover a forum post telling them they have to update before they turn off or restart their computer

It is embarrassing that desktop Linux distributions are still struggling at being able to boot after an update.

Why's he even doing a distro, anyway? It's hard and boring. Hector, you'd be better off just concentrating on writing the kernel drivers.

Control. He couldn't realistically ban people from using drivers that have been inserted into the mainline kernel, but if he's got his own distro, he has an excuse to insert whatever bullshit into it he wants and throw his weight around.
