Past scene drama (why ARN was renamed)

Since I explained this to a couple of people who asked me in private, I figured I could put it here if anyone is interested.

"I swear I really respected Rei at first (Luma was originally named "AuReiNAND" to reflect that he was the author of the original project). I was also with him on a Skype group, CTRDev, and I was chill with him, he genuinely seemed like a nice person and we got along. Then at some point he started the "bloat meme" and discussions about my code sucking increased, he even brought it to reddit where he made a post about it (but then CTRDev members convinced him to take it down). Then one day someone added a fake account ("DILIGAF") to CTRDev, who started insulting me in a very bad way. CTRDev is a private group, so it was one of us. That day (it was at the end of April) I had just argued with Rei and he misgendered me as well, I have logs of the argument and of DILIGAF:
http://pastebin.com/7CL2SuZZ
http://pastebin.com/MRhe2ePJ
After this was over me and Tux investigated it, Tux used some Skype IP tool to determine his IP, and we sent it to GBAtemp staff. The outcome was that it was most likely a GBAtemp regular, since the IP blocks matched; coincidentally it was a person we found out got close to Rei: http://i.imgur.com/75pbunM.png (he also had stuff about Luma being bloated in his GBAtemp signature).
So with everything figured out, we exposed Rei to the CTRDev members and he left saying the group sucked.
Some time later (one month I believe?) Rei asked Ryan to take over CTRDev's then admin's account (he either had the password, as this person claims to have given it to him; or he guessed it but it doesn't really matter) and take over and spam the group. And so he did. http://i.imgur.com/JHWcnRL.png
Other than this, I was shown screenshots of Rei shit talking me on the Discord 3dsch*** group (3dsch*** is where the "DILIGAF" person came from, they just seem to be a circle of people who hate me for some reason).
I called him out because I just had enough. As it can be seen in the screenshots in the other blog post he knew this would happen before my github was messed with and the transphobic things were posted here. And Punderino posted lots of things that Rei uses to say (like that I copy Rei's work and stuff http://i.imgur.com/SYaO9LY.jpg ). He even used transphobic expressions that Rei uses towards me (I'd rather not repeat those). So even assuming Rei didn't have a hand in the hacking, he definitely had one in "setting him up" for this; I already saw once on the wiiubru IRC that Ryan and Punderino repeated Rei's insults."

Last time I checked, the reason you would make something open-source is so other people could improve it. Usually, a "better" CFW would get more supporters and users than the old, "not as good" one. So what did he expect by releasing the source of ReiNand? People to make it worse, so that he still gets all the fame? No, that's not how it works. People are only going to make it better than it already is. Rei realizes he made a mistake by releasing the source and seems to be taking out the anger on Aurora for making a successor to his CFW.

I hope this will resolve itself eventually. Continue being the better person in the situation. You have my support.

You apologized profusely over misgendering me, but never apologized for inviting your friend on the group to insult me, for asking Ryan to take over and spam the group, for turning people "in your circle" against me to this day (I mean, do they learn your insults and your opinions on me on their own? lol).

@linuxares I honestly dont know what goes on in their mind anymore. And it all just started as memes and shitposting, but got out of hand. I was originally trying to suggest different ways of doing things because their noobiness was showing in their programming. The public only cares that it works though. Luma actually reminds me of systemd in linux. People either love it or hate it due to the way its coded and the size of its codebase.

@Aurora Wright Please, do show me proof of me purposely inviting malicious people to do malicious things. Also good to know you remember that apology and that you're just trying to only say the bad things in your blog :rofl:

Your apology is a joke since you apologized on something so (relatively) minimal that I didn't even mention, and then kept going with worse things. The proof is in the OP but you didn't even read it, maybe?

Then can you please explain to a simpleton like me that can hardly read C++ code, what exactly is the problem with her code? Is it just to much extra lines in it? Isn't it optimized enough? What exactly is the noobness that you trying to proove? That's what's confusing me the most. I seen you talking about it before on Reddit and GBATemp and I still don't understand what the problem is exactly.

Yes, I am a very simple man. Luma3DS just works, that's the reason I haven't switched to any other. Since it does the job I need, with some extra features that I hardly ever use (But when I need them, I'm really glad they're there.) So you got to excuse me when I just want to boot and run. And I suspect most people here are just for that.

@linuxares Well it's obviously improved a lot since then, but even now, theres still lots of white space. I showed it to a friend who is a programmer, but no connection to the scene, and his reaction was "HOLY WHITE SPACE" lol. other than that, i seen some other nooby things and chuckled.
i.e:
*array = 0x1234;
((u32*)array)[1] = 0x5678;
instead of:
*array = 0x1234;
*(u32*)(array+4) = 0x5678;

Not that it really matters, but most well seasoned programmers will point that out.

@iAqua Dude same. This is all stupid fucking drama (somebody) stirred up. I don't see the point of this. Do this shit in DMs because it's only going to make a mob against Rei (and I honest to god think thats what your trying to do here)

Okey, so... in the end, it's all about it's not pretty enough? Yes I do understand that after a ; you are suppose to add an enter. But mostly it's for show and nothing else. The compiler will accept it anyway since it's the exact same thing it does.

Is there anything more meaty in the "noobness" than none pretty code?

@Reisyukaku So? How they code is a programmer's preference. It certainly doesn't impact the efficiency of the code. White space or not, the compiler will work just the same and output the same code.
 
Reisyukaku
@linuxares It's not 100% aethetic issues, but a good percent, yes. That, like i said, doesnt effect the end user, but it effects the people who might want to fork it or use something from it. You have to do a lot of backtracking in it to find stuff. Corbenik is pretty confusing imo also, but not nearly as big so i guess in theory easier to find stuff. Organization is key. And dont even get me started on the commits. They should have setup a dev branch maybe. theres too many commits to sift through to find certain things. These are just suggestions.

Then, maybe it's not the best project to fork? Yes, it's a shame maybe @Aurora Wright doesn't do exactly "how you are suppose to do" (I got no clue about this). But as with fashion, everyone have their own style, right?

There is a reason why Nightly's aren't recommended and should generally be stayed away from. Also, have you lifted these suggestions with @TuxSH and @Aurora Wright ?

Hate has already driven away coders, take example the NTR coder. We don't need more to leave. So you got to excuse me to sound defensive even if I try to be neutral. (Typical Swedes ;))

Its like kids sharing crayons and drawing and one of them throwing a tantrum because the other drawing looks a bit better.

@linuxares I mean, im probably not the best at giving criticism and AW doesnt take it well either. And If i do try to point things out, i just get harrassed from the luma devs, so yea, I can see why people left, lol. This is the scene we created x3

I don't get it. How is using array syntax somehow worse than manual pointer arithmetic? I usually prefer array syntax because then I don't have to remember to manually multiply by the element size.

Okey, if you now isn't the best to give critisism, why are you then doing it? Isn't that counterproductive? I'm trying to understand how you're thinking. Right now, I can't see it from your point of view. I'm still thankful for your work, I truely am. But I do feel a bit conflicted and confused after reading the logs.

Aurora even had a thread on Reddit asking why people thought AuReiNand was bloated, that was something you said it was. And most people thought it wasn't at all. Heck, even after that thread she optimized it to boot a couple of ms faster (if I recall correct).

So after reading this, the only evidence is that @Reisyukaku was aware of the whole hacking, fair enough. Can we really say tho that he was the mastermind people are making him out to be? Lol.

Also, it's a little hypocritical the actions some of the Luma devs (except @Aurora Wright) have taken in ReiNAND thread and they have stooped to the same tactic of the "bloating meme" that launched this whole fiasco.

Bottom line:
1) Rei argued with AW
2) Friends of Rei hacked and did foul things to AW (pretty low of them)
3) Luma devs trolled Rei thread
4) Rei apologized to AW for what he perceived is his wrong doing
5) AW did not accept his apology for her perception of his envolvement

Can we move the F on now? This isn't news, it's just drama that keeps getting brought up by both posses.

As a CFW I enjoy using Luma and I am excited to learn more about ReiNAND.

Props to both of you and you have my thanks for your contributions to this community(?lol).

1) Rei argues with me and misgenders me once
2) The same day a months-long friend of his shows up in our private Skype group and starts insulting me heavily, even bringing up my birth name and things like that, and repeating Rei's mantras about code copying. Evidently he dreamt the group url at night.
3) Rei apologizes for the misgendering but never apologizes for inviting his friend (he even denies it)
4) The very same day Rei shit talks me with his 3dsch*** buddies (part of the log was posted by Tux as a screenshot)
5) A while later Rei asks Ryan to take over the account of the group's admin and spam it (there's even a screenshot of Ryan admitting to it...)
6) Months pass, and now Ryan and another guy among his friends hack into my account, post the same insults he uses, post the same code copying mantras he uses, take down my project.

Now excuse me but I need to sleep, goodnight.
