You are a true hero René. I can not express how much i hate the "reported-by". Shame on those people not respecting your work and the community.

[@Soulmodulation]

Ahh, so you're the random person in Nebraska thanklessly maintaining projects that our modern digital infrastructure depends on.

[@adhitjatur1337]

You are amazing person Sir!! respecting your work and the community.

[@TinkeringStudent]

You're a rockstar, man. I'm watching your videos from time to time while learning C and the Linux Kernel. Once I know the fundamentals of the Linux Kernel codebase and operating system concepts, I'll start learning the codebase of this T2SDE. Hopefully, I can contribute to it in the future.

[@rehufgoerhwfr]

i use musl libc with linux from scratch very satisfied with that setup

[@MoreReneRebe]

But, have you tried T2 Musl Linux?

[@orlovskyconsulting]

Rene thanks for everything you doing, Linux kernel driven by people like you , who care....

[@lafeo0077]

it's truly therapeutic to watch u code

Danke!

Sehr gerne! Ich bin Linux Administrator und habe außerdem viel Spaß damit 🎉! Daher unterstütze ich mit meinen bescheidenen Mitteln gerne die Entwicklung 😊. Irgendwo liegt hier noch ein Gnome-Mauspad aus den 90igern rum, also kommt auch manchmal was (physisches) zurück.... 😂

[@JustLennyBenny]

I like to see this from a different perspective, in my view, we owe you much more appreciation than companies like Google or Apple ever could, because what you bring to the table is true passion. It's your dedication and effort that makes everything so much better. We need more people with this mindset to create good things in life, yet it's truly surprising and obnoxious to see you being harassed* for it (* that recent home raid).

[@anam-0077]

Rene, i wonder whether only nvidea doesn't allow its hardware to be programmed through linux?

[@OperaWarrior-tw6pm]

You are a gud person and an amazing programmer, an Inspiration ❤

Thanks! 🖖

[@Marvinzock34]

I think stealing stuff and not giving enough credit for this much work is disrespectful, especially to just say it was reported, even though you didn't just report it but actually fixed it. I mean, yeah, open src open src, but that's just not okay. Thanks for your time and effort :)

[@BesenTV]

All your calling out gives me Terry Davis vibes. 😅 But it's really necessary tbh.

[@cristianstoica4544]

Catchy T2 melody

[@haihod6356]

very cool!

[@adrianojordao4634]

If it makes you feel like that, is not for you. Dont do it.

[@MoreReneRebe]

then nobody is left to do it.

[@dataolle]

@@MoreReneRebe that is true, but it's not your responsibility to fix everything. To me it sounds like you might burn out if you try to fix everything. Also regarding getting payed for your work (you are obviously very good at what you do) have you considered going into security research? Bug bounty programs tend to pay way better than fixing "normal" open source bugs. Also cool videos, i learned alot from you, thank you!

[@adrianojordao4634]

@@MoreReneRebe i thank you as a linux user and very much apreciate your work, but you don't, and that is what is important, you feel robed of 10000 and not even a thank you a slap in the back... I understand. You did it this time. Dont loose cool points. Be happy, wen nobody pays you just develop what you wont and for you its the job of others to fix the other things.

[@X-factor6]

How can I be genius like you 😢?

[@MoreReneRebe]

Given I don't earn money with Linux work I guess not genius, … otherwise following my Video tutorials probably help ;-)

[@lafeo0077]

[@jbmw16]

@@MoreReneRebe Well companies do pay employees that work on kernel don't they? You could've done something like that if you didn't have ExactCode.

[@MoreReneRebe]

@@jbmw16 I have higher moral standards than working for FAANG. Open source was meant to make the world a better place, not big tech more profits.

[@MoreReneRebe]

Also, have you noticed how many overseas lower income coders this companies have for their Linux code work ?

[@UnikCyberNinja]

it seems ITs are same everywhere then haha not only in Mongolia... :) cagy - love this german dude haha

[@JustLennyBenny]

We are the kind of people who appreciate work from a logical perspective, we apply logic to our lifes, and not many people do this, especially when it comes to everyday things, because it requires 'hard and deep thinking.' It's honestly impressive how some folks have managed to dodge natural selection for so long; that, in itself, is quite the achievement.

[@jsimek]

I would be so damn pissed off if someone did that to me

[@MoreReneRebe]

Did what ?

[@jsimek]

@@MoreReneRebe complained that I found a bug he caused and then claimed authorship of a bugfix for that bug

Hey there, Computer Science undergrad here. I'm really interested in the idea of becoming a kernel developer; is there any roadmap or advice you would like to share? Thanks!

No, thanks. I need my systems working yesterday and my brain does not like Rust & Cargo. kzbin.infoOdMQwDtumJ8?si=4-OVHgioHGU6gP1X

Have you seen their security track record? Not even counting UI bugs where things just don't work properly?

[@user-dc9zo7ek5j]

I've noticed in some of your livestreams that you to want a pat on the back from some notable person finally noticing your big contribution and paying it in fame and money. You won't get such a thing and accepting that is the key towards happiness and no stress. Your work does not equate to money as you put it, your work is priceless and has nothing to do with money. People are paid not for work so much as for staying in the company, this is the hard truth.

[@moussaadem7933]

It's very understandable to expect some appreciation for all the work he does. instead he gets the opposite. the frustration is very understandable

[@xyzabc123-o1l]

i think the better question here is why do high paid developers (like myself) not donate to people like you, and why do companies also not donate? sure its hard to force people, but it seems like we have a massive moral failing in our society btw i donate every few months to rene to atone for my sins ;)

[@stefanmarinescu5086]

one comment : "disecting" i think is the word you are looking for....

[@MoreReneRebe]

no. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_(software_engineering) "Bisection is a method used in software development to identify change sets that result in a specific behavior change. It is mostly employed for finding the patch that introduced a bug. Another application area is finding the patch that indirectly fixed a bug."

[@stefanmarinescu5086]

@@MoreReneRebe ok, my mistake. and learned some new word today :)

[@MoreReneRebe]

happy to hear, also: bisect /bʌɪˈsɛkt/ - GEOMETRY -divide (a line, angle, or shape) into two exactly equal parts.

Linux has got to the point that it has too much policy compared to mechanisms.

[@steveoc64]

OTOH - How to get rich with Linux development without even trying Use AI tooling to generate garbage patches in Rust, then leverage social media to cry and gather sympathy when your patches get reviewed Watch the donations come piling in

[@hiYouareaclown]

Why microkernels didn't succeed, if you make the kernel small enough you have to lose most of the functionality. But I still prefer small systems like qnx and openbsd

[@MoreReneRebe]

They don't remove functionality, they only implement it elsewhere; in user space .
