I check in here quite often, but for now, I’m just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn’t been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that worsened from week to week, reaching a point where I couldn’t even leave the house. In February, I spent my time visiting doctors and undergoing treatment with medications, which often had very unpleasant side effects. Therefore, I decided to hold off on any major updates to avoid causing even more chaos. Today, I’ve undergone one procedure, and I have another one scheduled for Thursday, which I hope will be the last.
Just because it’s not visible that something is happening doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing anything during this time. In fact, two really significant things have been successful, which I’ve been working on for a long time and which I intended to announce soon once I recover.
This weekend, I also plan to work on infrastructure with Piotr, and from next week onwards, I intend to resume committing, provided my health allows it. I understand if you’re exploring alternatives, but I hope I’ve exhausted my bad luck limit for this year, and the remaining time will be marked by gradual, steady progress, especially since new opportunities have emerged, about which I will hopefully write soon.
He may well be referring to my posts and the chaos that ensued in the comments thereof. You have a valid point. However, Ernest’s communication has up to now not been very consistent, both timing and content wise. It makes sense he hasn’t given updates, for the time being, as he didn’t have any real improvements to announce, unlike this one, to prevent another escalation. Not the best strategy, but given the odds of a similar situation arising again, understandable. You are already part of a similar discussion it would have started and it would have been over nothing. At least now he had some (good) news to announce. I would not likely have responded though, I haven’t really paid much attention since the last time. Once again I was attracted by the notification of a message, on matrix this time, leading me to have a look at what’s going on. I am saying this because some people were convinced I was stalking and harassing Ernest last time, to give you an impression of what chaos he is likely referring to. Of course odds are something would have triggered my attention and I would have, as I said I won’t be silenced. But other people have taken the lead this time.
Let’s hope Ernest really is doing better and will do as he says, so we can forget about the past.
