A Global Switch To Kill Linux's CPU Spectre/Meltdown Workarounds?

This is how you do it properly (obviously you've never had any manners, so the concept must be totally alien to you):

You keep behaving like the worst possible scum RussianNeuroMancer - no one has granted you the permission to quote private correspondence and that's exactly what you did along with trying to unsuccessfully discredit me. In fact in certain countries of the world leaking of private correspondence is considered a misdemeanor or even a crime. Luckily people here are above your lame shenanigans.

If you have any resemblance of common sense and conscience it would be prudent to delete your last two posts in this thread because most people will be extremely disgusted by what you're doing but it's really up to you. However it surely looks like something is wrong with you you, so you can as well keep everything intact.

I'm personally quite entertained. Keep it going!

Good riddance, there was no contribution of value from you anyway.

You're just the rude guy on a technical forum insulting people and making illogical claims (the the bold claim quoted above).

there was a real opportunity of having a productive discussion to expand our perspective on both sides of the coin

This is how Artem would talk with you guys if he would answer via PM:

Dedicated to asshole

I do not hide my name and nickname (https://github.com/birdie-github - oh, my god, my name is there; https://www.linux.org.ru/people/birdie/profile oh, my god , my name is there, and at least a dozen forums where the birdie = my name), and doxing, which you unsuccessfully took - the most filthy and low, what a person in the net is capable of.

Shit under yourself further - you are doing very well; just do not delete that comment: let everyone see what shit you are.

And if the list you are pointing at is such a mess, then write a refutation. Just do not crap yourself, because that's what you do.

Doxing is impossible (by definition) if your name is below list I linked to, but this is probably too difficult concept for you.

I just inform people so they don't waste their time.

I concede that I was overly aggressive, insulting and harsh in this topic but when people with zero security/IT background keep talking nonsense, yet have the insolence to argue with your factual reasoning, I lose temper and start calling names.

The sad thing is, that although he was wrong about that point I corrected, He's probably right about many other things. He seems like he might be knowledgeable. He's just unnecessarily verbally aggressive and can't handle it at all when he is wrong about something. He could be helping people understand stuff better if he got over those things.

We all get things wrong. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just make your corrections, learn and move on.

Exactly. Aside from the insults clouding our judgment, there was a real opportunity of having a productive discussion to expand our perspective on both sides of the coin. It's easy to forget that insults tend to prompt an emotional response rather than a logical one, so for that reason I'm discontinuing my participation in this thread before we take it too far. My previous comment was close enough and I'd rather not continue on that path.

Guys, in case you missed this, birdie is Artem Tashkinov who host list of outdate insults against GNU/Linux and FOSS community. He is, you know, this kind of person.

Actually, most games are limited by the CPU, and usually because the game does not take advantage of as many threads as it could.

No, most games are certainly not, some are. But since "limited" can mean any amount of performance you have a lot of room for demagogy. Go ahead and disable retpoline and compare the numbers, if you don't fake them you'll be surprised at the pathetic difference in game performance.

I've accidentally blacklisted you and I will no longer see your posts, cybertraveler I can't argue with people who keep spewing BS.
