Yeah. Here I am 26 days later effectively repeating the meme because I've started writing a project on Rust

No they probably wanted to hear how great some random Arch derivatives that does that thing 3 people are talking about

I'm not comfortable that Fedora and derivatives give the same stability opportunity as Atomic distros

Atomic distros + distrobox/toolbx. Bluefin is a good start for general desktop or Bazzite for gaming (But Bluefin can be more stable, I use it for some games with steam in flatpak). If something breaks roll back to any release in the last 90 days with a single command. Install all of your packages in a distrobox (Arch if you need it). Otherwise in general Fedora is pretty good.

That issue is not good criticism, it's rude and demanding and has no place in a hobby project. I've shown what good criticism would look like.

I AM NOT SAYING THE ISSUE IS INVALID. THE MAINTAINER ABSOLUTELY SHOULD RESPOND TO IT AS IT IS IMPORTANT. I FOUND THE WORDING RUDE AND ENTITLED WHICH MAKES THE ISSUE WAY LESS INVITING.

I like how if you misgender someone on here without being able to see their pronouns your entire instance may get defederated. However, apparently it's okay to be arseholes to OSS maintainers.

I did some further reading into it. The maintainer might be an arseholes with high standards who doesn't accept PRs or maybe they don't have a lot of time.

Fucking hell this website is a waste of time.

I don't understand how "appalled" being strong language is so controversial, maybe everyone here is just a rude little shit.

I would have worded it like so:

Hi, I'm concerned about the BLOBs used in this repo as they are a security risk, making the code less auditable. It looks like we could generate these BLOBs in a github action or something so we can keep the fast build process while making it easier to audit the code. I'm not exactly sure how to go about this myself but I've done similar things in other projects, maybe you could point me in the right direction as I am unfamiliar with the ventoy build process? Thanks for the really cool project, and hopefully we can sort this out easily. Looking forward to your response.

I did it with less anger and entitlement and in less words

I’m not saying don’t criticise it. It’s about communication. The language isn’t very good. See my other comments

Is this not rude:

I checked the code and I’m appalled. There are more BLOBs than source code

And this:

I understand that removing BLOBs isn't a priority over new and shiny features. But due to recent events, this should be rethought.

We didn’t like it when MS made an issue trying to direct ffmpeg

They should have opened with a complement or asked for directions if they didn’t know. In this message “Thank You” means fuck all

I didn't say they're wrong it's the way they communicated which I found off-putting and Gordon Ramsay -esque

I mean if I got an issue that sounded that entitled and this is something I do in my spare time, I'd probably ignore it.

My point is they could have worded it better and it might have gotten a response. If you ask kindly about the BLOBs and maybe for some help to push you in the right direction instead of saying "I don't know", then it is fair to call the maintainer rude for ignoring it completely.
