  1. Re:Not a large number of people on What If You Could Eat Chicken Without Killing a Chicken? (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you think anyone eating at McDonalds or Burger King gives a rats ass (ironically one of the many ingredients they are probably consuming) about GMO? Those are some of the largest food joints on earth...

    Wouldn't be so sure of that. If that were true why would McDonalds have done this.

    Then go read Mozilla's bugzilla if you want specifics. Unless you're going to claim Mozilla is lying about this.

    Also my post is no handwaving. You asked how it could fix a bug in the underlying system and I told you how using another example. It's called a workaround.

    Wrapper libraries almost always contain workarounds to bugs in the underlying platforms they support. Qt has these in spades through numerous ifdefs.

    Awww, some whittle baby got their feewings hurt. Maybe you should have been stepping up to help Mozilla versus whining and downmodding me?

    The ALSA code was subject to a number of bugs that they didn't have the resources to fix. They'll probably be more than welcome to accept your patches to fix the bugs

    Except he had nothing to do with this decision. It was chosen by the people who actually work on Firefox. If you had stepped up to help fix the ALSA bugs they ran in to then this wouldn't have happened. But you freeloaders in the peanut gallery do nothing but whine.

  9. Re:Firechrome on Firefox Goes PulseAudio Only, Leaves ALSA Users With No Sound (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except Chrome doesn't require PulseAudio. So you're getting exactly what you want in Mozilla choosing their own path.

    First-world problems really are the worst.

  11. Re:so the saying goes on Firefox Goes PulseAudio Only, Leaves ALSA Users With No Sound (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    You could say that about virtually every software library. Qt isn't required either. Unless you choose to use software that depends on it.

  12. Re:This is silly on Firefox Goes PulseAudio Only, Leaves ALSA Users With No Sound (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    While I quite like PulseAudio, does it even run on anything but ALSA?

    Yes, hence why it can be used on BSDs, Solaris and macOS.

    He's just a run-of-the-mill snakeoil salesman. He just dresses it up in fancier terms.

    People still take Kurzweil seriously?

  23. Also to add, the summary title doesn't seem based on any ruling from a judge or jury. It's just pure clickbait.

  24. Because when I want accuracy I rely on the titles of submissions from Slashdot editors. They're never inaccurate or clickbait material. No, never. They're always 100% factual and accurate.

  25. Cool story and yet nowhere in this story was anyone's speech declared illegal.
