  1. Google is planning on ditching the linux kernel. on ZDNet: Linux 'Takes The World' While Windows Dominates The Desktop (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When they merge android and chrome os into, fuschia isn't it?

  2. I don't like the higan dev. on Lost Package Derails Project To Preserve Super Nintendo Games (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    I know i am going to get flack for this, but i don't like him.
    When he was the zsnes sound dev, and higan was bsnes he purposefully sabotaged the zsnes alsa sound system by ignoring the dev documents and grabbing the audio hardware directly. When this was put up as a bug he refused to fix it by saying 'switch to oss'.
    By that time oss had LONG since been deprecated because the company backing it tried to sell foss's devs hard work on the system as their own as a commercial *nix sound system.
    So i consider this karma, he fucked with people's enjoyment of snes games because he had a software political belief. Some overworked and underpaid united states postal service worker nicks his package of thousands of dollars worth of snes games and claims the machine ate it.

  3. Re:It will be used for the traits that pay the mos on Ethicists Advise Caution In Applying CRISPR Gene Editing To Humans (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What was that one books solution? The time machine one? Oh right, the vast horde eats the rich.

  4. Re:LLVM requirement? on Mozilla Binds Firefox's Fate To The Rust Language (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    No android, no ios, no ppc, no arm, no mips, and no bsd. None of those are on the 'it won't break if you look at it funny' list of rust support.

  6. Re:What?! on Linux Foundation Shares LinuxCon Highlights (linuxfoundation.org) · · Score: 1

    And that is why I posted my comment.
    It is like claiming that publishers should stop denying people who can't spell or do grammer. Because 'they' think having that barrier to entry is an unreasonable requirement.

    Your reading comprehension fails you.
    I am NOT for removing math from programing. I am surprised this person even floated the idea! It shows how dumb they are.

    Removing math from programing?
    Is he/she serious? It's required to understand the functions and computer languages. Without it you can't properly make code!

    I am with thunderfoot on this.
    Elon musk thinks the magical free market and free enterprise can do things better.. This is reality, Nasa solved these issues back in the 1950's and early 60's. But no the ebil government can't do anything right..

    Nintendo's goose is Pokemon. Without it they would have followed sega years ago.

  11. Re:Collusion is illegal on New Intel and AMD Chips Will Only Support Windows 10 (pcworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The article is misleading. It is not that the chips won't work with the older os's. It is that only windows 10 compared to previous versions will support their newer features. Stuff like enhanced speed stepping and powering down cores when not in use.

  15. Re:Because.se one size does not fit all on New Crowdfunding Campaign Offers Modular EOMA68 Computing Devices (crowdsupply.com) · · Score: 1

    Not trying to be rude.

    Even with open source software, the modern desktop/laptop needs have long since surpassed those specs.
    1366x768 is very much on it's way out. (THANK GOD) It's a horribly small resolution for the majority of current gui's and websites even though it's technically 720p hd. Still usable though if you force your users to run fluxbox or similar. 2gb of ram is pretty tiny, usable but tiny. 4gb SHOULD have been your MIN amount. Otherwise your system will be limited to running JUST a single modern application alone at a time. General users like having their email client AND their web browser AND their office program AND possibly a instant messaging application open at the same time.
    Also 8gb storage space? Modern linux distributions take up 4 to 6gb alone. That is not a lot of space for user files. Even less if you put in a swap partition.

    What you are doing here is trying to sell what a friend of mine calls 's.c.t.'s'* at a gaming laptop / macbook pro level price. I seriously doubt you are going to get enough people who care so much about possible freedom that they would torture themselves to use such a limiting system.
    My advice? Ditch the laptop, focus on the wood case stand alone receptacle, bill yourself as a fully open and environmentally friendly alt to the raspberry pi and similar.

    Personally i think a good number of the wealthy are hoarders.But instead of keeping every newspaper they ever touched, or plastic bag, or wanting to buy every single doll they see. They hoard money, and like other hoarders they are emotionally pained to see even one bit of it removed.

    Um.. Alsa is the low level driver. Pulseaudio is the semi userland audio server that runs on top of it.
    If you can't get alsa to work pulseaudio won't either. To be fair, pulse was only crap when pottering was controlling it. When it was dropped into the lap of others to maintain after he decided to do this whole systemD crap It got better.

    It is needed for game footage capture. Without it youtubers have to use an external device between the monitor and the pc with the associated lag. Or point a camera at the monitor.

    When comcast did this to me several years ago, I moved to at&t. I recently moved from at&t to google fiber after they doubled the bill to penalize us for not ordering their uverse thing and just have them as an isp.

    Realize the ending of 1984 was prophetic. That the future will not be better than the past and that technology has given despots and ideologies the perfect tools to keep their people in control. That the future is a boot stomping on a human face forever. That you, as a peon, have three choices. Agree, be silent, or have your face stomped on.

    You do know they discontinued that version of their control panel. Renamed it radeon software crimson and put in a whole bunch of updates and fixes.
    Windows 10 updates drivers and thus it would install this new version while removing the old.

    It's a new card and open source development takes time. Yet here you are complaining that some people, mostly in their spare time, can't provide a fully featured driver for a new card that is still hard to get a hold of.
