That's a pretty serious bug in the driver. I might also simply refuse to work around something that colossally flawed.
And to which someone declares "not a smart move", and he said, roughly, "okay, I'm stupid then ┐_(ツ)_┌". Yeah. Okay. This isn't exactly flaming someone out.
(The calibre/setuid things are a little less impressive. Though on the other hand, again, I can almost see the sense; I also have some serious beefs with the core design of the linux mount API right down to the syscall level.)
On the other hand he actually fixes things.
Even if you actually were paying money for his services, which most of us are not, which would you prefer an obsequious kind person who didn't fix your problem or a dick that did.
I would take the dick every day of the week.
When I'm asked a question whether it's better to hire a dickhead that is an expert in some field, or a normal person that isn't an expert of this field but showing promises, I'm probably always going with the non-dickhead person.
Dickheads are hard to communicate with, they are lowering team morale, make teamwork harder so in the end expert dickheads are less valuable than non-dickheads.
The beauty of open source is you can look at the code and even the issue tracker. I dare you to look at even `setup.py`, a file that's usually quite straight forward in Python, and tell me what it's doing. But if you're happy using kitty as your daily driver, great.
I guess you can dismiss all this as "haters gonna hate" and "what have you made?". Which is why in the comment, I refrained from stating my opinion and linked to other people's experiences/opinions instead. Just don't say you didn't know. And good luck getting the things you want fixed.
That came out wrong...
