  • Except you’re wrong about them wanting to put Rust code in the DMA subtree. As per the article linked below by M1ch431:

    In a message to the Linux kernel mailing list, Hellwig wrote: “No Rust code in kernel/dma, please.” For what it’s worth, the patch added code to the rust/kernel portion of the Linux source tree, not kernel/dma, as far as we can tell.

    All they were doing is adding an abstraction layer, within the already existing Rust code, so that rust drivers could communicate with the C DMA code in a uniform and predictable manner. It would have put far more work on maintainers, both C and Rust alike, to have each and every driver implement its own abstraction to the DMA API. Issues would have been/will be filed against the kernel/dma subtree in error due to issues with these myriad abstraction layers.



  • I live In Melbourne, Australia. I have heard that Manchester is a pretty decent city for queer folks, but I think there’s a lot of factors that go into it. The NHS (and the UK as a whole) has a lot of deep and systemic issues when it comes to healthcare for trans folks, which don’t exist here in Aus, or in my state. As well Melbourne has been very resistant to the import of right-wing anti-trans rhetoric from the US and UK.



  • Yeah, I think so! There’s a trans indoor climbing group in my city that meets once a month, and it’s really comfy being around other queer folks while doing it. I really enjoyed the camaraderie that entailed, building each other up and looking out for one another.

    I definitely felt what you’re talking about, quieting my mind and focusing on the problem at hand.

    Funnily enough, I probably will have to focus more on using my arms than my legs. I have a physical disability and my knees are a major pain point. I use a power chair a lot of the time outside the house. I actually loved that nobody made me feel infantilised even though I rocked up in it.






  • Are you incapable of using a search engine? It’s the top result. “Fixed That For You”. What I was calling out is you calling it a “hand movement” which is a right-wing dogwhistle, and one you’ve repeated again in your follow up comment to me. It was very clearly a nazi salute. He did it twice. Call it what it was.
