Michael was asking your profession to find out if you administrate servers as part of your profession. (the requirement for being a root). see here https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2024-November/335620.html >And to be clear here, i have no problem with josh or marvin >its the context, the lack of a clear reason why they want admin access and >also the lack of a clear "iam a professional admin thats my day job" > - Why is Compn concerned with my prior work history see above, i was trying to clarify why michael was asking ^. but my email came out wrong. so wrong. it came out sounding angry. i've spent so long in this project deciphering english-second-language mails between developers. its a weird skill to learn. things would go 10000x smoother in the project if people just ask each other to clarify each others emails when confused. or if people wrote out their reasons for their opinions. its why i ask what peoples goals are. people were asking me at vdd to decipher michaels emails. although maybe i snapped after people went the supervillain route of understanding his mails yet again. people should just ask for clarity in a reply email instead of assuming the worst supervillain reasons for everything. because theres no reason for supervillain thoughts. if you see what you think is a rude email from michael or anyone else just reply and ask them what they mean. this should be rule #1 in ffmpeg mailing list. this is why i appreciate your mail asking for clarification! :) > - Why am I not being held to the same standard as Michael with regards > to privacy? good question. i dont know what michael or fabrice look like either. i think my point was meeting people in person means very little from a security point of view. it just means you met someone. without a way to verify their identity. > More sad or funny or maybe both, but having met Compn in the previous > VDD and spent the community day in the same team hunting around the > city, I maybe somewhat expected to get the benefit of the doubt.
