 Alyssa Ross | I think your email might have implied it even if you didn't mean it to | 17:47:20 |
 Linux Hackerman is moving: @linus:schreibt.jetzt | I'd appreciate that. And if you would try to generally communicate less misleadingly, but I doubt I can convince you on that front. | 17:47:22 |
| Alyssa Ross | if that can be clarified with them that's great | 17:47:41 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.how | Will do. Not really intending to mislead anyone, but I will definitely do what I please when it comes to trying to get boards. I'm not representing NixOS at all. | 17:48:13 |
| Alyssa Ross | good luck with your boards :) | 17:49:05 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | These companies are not fairly distributing these boards, there's an opportunity to get them, and I made a good case for it. I succeeded. | 17:49:12 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | I was debating buying them myself, in fact. | 17:49:44 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Linux Hackerman: Alyssa Ross Did you not see this days ago? | 17:52:09 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Why is it now that you have decided to have a problem with it? I am confused by this. | 17:52:19 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Is it only now that you have seen my activity? | 17:52:27 |
| Alyssa Ross | I didn't read the email closely at the time — I went back and read it to understand Linus's complaint, and decided I agreed with it. | 17:52:49 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Okay, fair enough. Well sorry for the misunderstanding. I've confirmed with them what you asked me, that I'm just a member of the community and not a representative. | 17:53:24 |
| Linux Hackerman is moving: @linus:schreibt.jetzt | I raised my eyebrows at it a couple of days ago, but only today did I get any evidence that suggested that you really were exaggerating the state of affairs. | 17:53:27 |
| Alyssa Ross | (I'm in a few hundred channels so I tend to skim) | 17:53:45 |
| Linux Hackerman is moving: @linus:schreibt.jetzt | Before that I stayed silent on good faith that you were being honest | 17:53:52 |
| Linux Hackerman is moving: @linus:schreibt.jetzt | and yeah as Alyssa says I don't read every message here every day either. | 17:54:06 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | I am being honest. And the accusation that I'm not does upset me a bit. | 17:54:07 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | But thank you for your opinion nontheless. | 17:54:17 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | There are at least 10 people in this community who will benefit from being given a RISC-V VisionFive board with 8GB of RAM for development. | 17:55:15 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | I have opened up this possibility now. No boards have been sent out. | 17:55:38 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | No boards have been confirmed. | 17:55:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | You are definitely jumping the gun. | 17:55:54 |
| Alyssa Ross | surely it's better to catch this sort of thing early, than to wait until it's too late? | 17:56:57 |
| Alyssa Ross | at this stage, it's easy to resolve to everybody's satisfaction | 17:57:21 |
| Linux Hackerman is moving: @linus:schreibt.jetzt | So if the boards were sent out and then I complained, it would be more reasonable? | 17:57:42 |
| Alyssa Ross | if it hadn't come up until the boards had been sent out, it would be a lot more difficult to do anything about it | 17:57:48 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | No, none of what you've said so far, is in my view reasonable. | 17:58:07 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | I've sent an email to someone, they've offered us boards, you've made me feel bad for trying. | 17:58:28 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | Worse yet, I was transparent, and was worse criticised and demotivated by being transparent. | 18:00:16 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.how | * Worse yet, I was transparent, and was worse criticized and demotivated by being transparent. | 18:00:19 |
