The linked GitHub issue is one of the most aggravating exchanges I've ever read: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/25269.

I don't understand how you can read someone telling you that they want to suspend and then hibernate after a set duration, but A) not understand why this would be desirable, B) not understand that this is compatible with also hibernating at low battery, and C) not understand your own lack of comprehension.




What the issue author is asking for is also the default behavior of Windows (which is developed by his employer) on laptops.

Hyperbolic much?

Because if you actually read the whole issue, here we have one maintainer acting out of line of refusing to process the issue until another one (Yu Watanabe) interjects, says there is an issue and actually commit a patchset adding the option asked for.


I cannot think of any exchange I've read that aggravated me more than this one.

I'm hedging my bets with "one of" because there might be something I've forgotten, but that specific series of events is like reading a transcript of The Trial if it happened in real life. It is seriously extremely annoying to me and I'm both intrigued and concerned that it doesn't even rank in your list.


Yeah, that's pretty shitty behaviour, invalidating all the good-faith feedback and going so far as to call it "trolling"?? Ridiculous. There's no excuse to be so hostile when handling bug reports.
