  • Bcschefs was removed from the kernel, but it qas because Kent doesn’t play well with others, and not because of the technical side. BCachefs had a lot of potential, but it serves noone to end up in another Resier situation.

    Kent had a habit of pushing for wider kernel changes to support the FS, without working with the community, which will always break things. He is also very ego driven, and self-obsessed, which is not always a bad thing.

    Linus’ person-to-persin issues always started from a technical perspective, so it is different.








  • Some of the anti-CCP stuff is too heavily algorythmucally captured, and ends up being “China will lose” - which is both wrong, and the wr0ng way to look at the world.

    The China-Chaser guys can be the worst for this, as the tend(ed) to phrase the everrything as a US vs China competition - for which the US is destroying the Chinese. Any realist out there knows that the Chinese and US economies are so intertwined that they are both in trouble.

    Truthfully, I find that I am anti-CCP, as you can tell bt my suggestions. I try to balance it out, bit I avoid those “US fails as China soars” channels. I tjimk that I tend to follow Taiwanese producers, as they have healthy concern but strong independence. Also I hate bully countries.



  • It kind of depends on whether or not you speak Mandarin.

    One thing to keep in mind is that noone has a clear picture of what is going on in the top levels of the PLA, nor the CCP. And that is intentional, of course.

    Unless you have a foundation, avoid the China-Fact-Chasers guys, as they are very one-sided, despite their vast 1st person experience living in China. Lei-talks has a less extreme interpretation, with lots of numbers to back things up - and will also go off on the fantastical topics here and there. Ken Cao puts out a lot of content, as does David Zhang, also very anti-CCP

    There is a GProf show that focuses on the Chinese markets which helps balance the economy knowledge, but is weak on politixal content.
