That remark is a response to a comment on the video that, according to Filho, came from Linux kernel maintainer Ted Ts'o: "Here's the thing, you're not going to force all of us to learn Rust."

The video depicts resistance to Filho's request to get information to statically encode file system interface semantics in Rust bindings, as a way to reduce errors. Ts'o's objection is that C code will continue to evolve, and those changes may break the Rust bindings – and he doesn't want the responsibility of fixing them if that happens.

"If it isn't obvious, the gentleman yelling in the mic that I won't force them to learn Rust is Ted Ts'o. But there are others. This is just one example that is recorded and readily available."

A lot of the quotes, this in particular, really comes off as petty. Not wanting a maintenance burden on your hands is a perfectly sane response from Ts'o

But the rules put in place to guide open source communities tend not to constrain behavior as comprehensively as legal requirements. The result is often dissatisfaction when codes of conduct or other project policies deliver less definitive or explainable results than corporate HR intervention or adversarial litigation.

Citing the Linux kernel community's reputation for undiplomatic behavior, The Reg asked whether kernel maintainers need to learn how to play well with others.

Lol. You need to set firm rules. No, not like that! You need to play nice with others! Upper-management telling you off is bad only when The Register says so

As an alternative, [Drew DeVault] has proposed starting anew, without trying to wedge Rust into legacy C code. He wrote that "a motivated group of talented Rust OS developers could build a Linux-compatible kernel, from scratch, very quickly, with no need to engage in LKML [Linux kernel mailing list] politics. You would be astonished by how quickly you can make meaningful gains in this kind of environment; I think if the amount of effort being put into Rust-for-Linux were applied to a new Linux-compatible OS we could have something production-ready for some use cases within a few years."

Ah, yes. Drew DeVault. The expert in A) non-divisive/petty community politics, and B) developing 30M LOC OS kernels with billions of dollars on R&D investment in a few years with a small team in an experimental language. "Just make Linux 2", it's so simple, why didn't we think of this?!

I'm not going to say that's untrue, it obviously isn't. But friction, distance, and drift are going to work in the opposite direction

The result depends on the ratio. I don't see why we can't have trade and relations with other countries without also assimilating eachother

If they were similar in numbers why would it be the Japanese ceding instead of the foreigners? Even if so, it's all the more reason to not let them in in the first place. Keep Japan Japanese for the Japanese

People are more willing to give up on traditions and cultural norms than to have constant friction with their neighbors

Toshi would tear down his local shrine and import the third world because it's better than having some Judeo-Christian reporters call them names?

The cultural and ethnic shifts happening are happening because banks, governments, and CEOs see it as being in their own interest. More working hands, more mouths to feed, more votes for their party. None of it has ever been natural and none of it is to our benefit

Nations are not made from dirt. National character wont seep into any group that wonders in. Replacement of the Japanese means the death of Japan, just as much as it does to any other country and has caused so many issues in the west

Economic stagnation is preferable (and has better solutions anyway), the only ones to gain from immigration are foreigners that hate you, your way of life, and some fat cats that hate you ten times more

When you look at any [N]GO memo on planned population reduction, Jaffe memo, Kissinger report, The World Bank's 'Population Planning', they are completely aligned with what feminism (and the general left) has been bringing for the past century

shows there is no simple linear link between gender equality and fertility
