I keep complaining about things that I think can be improved, while |
5 |
I don't generally praise things that I think are already good enough. |

There are so many problems to fix that I basically feel that time is |
8 |
better spent on problems than on giving praise. |

I understand that most people can not handle focus only on problems |
11 |
without also getting positive feedback for encouragement, but I don't |
12 |
do that very much, except when defending Gentoo among naysayers. |

I think the Gentoo tooling is absolutely outstanding, or I wouldn't |
15 |
be here using it. |

Not really true. As I mentioned in a previous email I researched what |
21 |
the fix is for the tvtime USE=-alsa build failure and I documented it |
22 |
in bugzilla. It was sortof there already, but not very clear, so I |
23 |
completely understand that someone who only looked briefly at the |
24 |
comments did not notice that actually the fix was known. |

I don't like it enough to take that responsibility, because I know |
30 |
that I can not take the time needed to deal with further issues. If |
31 |
I was still using it myself then I might well have, but as things are |
32 |
I can't do a good job and would rather only help provide solutions |
33 |
for observed problems on best effort basis, rather than create false |
34 |
expectations. |

It would be super cool if you did this for other bugs that I have |
40 |
provided solutions for. The xfig one was resolved a while ago, but |
41 |
I think there might still be some others. I'll look up the links. |
