  1. Well on 'Razer Doesn't Care About Linux' (gnome.org) · · Score: 1

    I might've been understanding of their plight, if only it wasn't for the fact that GNOME developers are happy to exploit their sugar daddy advantage of RH to force their way in the FOSS landscape. Now they get to feel how it is like to be the little guy again, maybe they should take some time to enjoy their humble pie.

  2. Re:Raise your child properly on Ask Slashdot: What Should A Mac User Know Before Buying a Windows Laptop? · · Score: 2

    Virtualization causes a severe slow-down

    With kvm+gpu passthrough it's now native performance. It's still not completely trivial to set up and needs extra hardware(if you want to run X/Wayland in addition to Windows), but it's doable. Not something I'd recommend, but it's still more pleasant than actually dual booting. Linux for productivity, Windows for games.

  3. "Kulde er Guds måte å fortelle oss at vi burde brenne flere katolikker."

    or maybe

    "Kulde er Guds beskjed til oss om å brenne flere katolikker."

    Or something like that. First one is more directly translated, but adds a "should"(burde) because otherwise I felt the sentence was weird. Last one is slightly altered, but sounds better imho.

    That gambit already didn't work. pkgng (bloat, too clever by half, unstable, arrogant developers

    Yes, because if it's one thing the BSD camp lacked, it was arrogant developers.

  5. OS X is largely "Linux done wrong".

  6. Re: The new normal for Android on Samsung Decides Not To Patch Kernel Vulnerabilities In Some S4 Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Discussing with someone who's so deluded he thinks the XDA developers forum is a good place to get ROMs is meaningless anyway.

  7. Android developer community on Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question · · Score: 1

    The Android community is an absolute disorienting cesspool of random stuff flying around. Links to patches and roms are distributed in a seemingly random manner on a host of different more or less dubious file sharing services, making it fairly difficult to find something actually usable for your phone. Do you see any way to fix this situation in the future, making it easier to patch/update your phone?

  8. Re:How is this relevant? on Surface Pro 3 Handily Outperforms iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9 · · Score: 1

    and fyi...iOS is based on BSD linux just like OSX.

    Are you drunk?

    OS X
    Advanced OS

    Sure, if you like poor vm performance, poor graphics performance, terrible memory handling and a piece of crap filesystem, OS X might be right up your alley. Luckily this laptop is also built for GNU/Linux, which is a proper operating system.

  10. Re:SteamBox just got really interesting on Valve In-Home Game Streaming Supports Windows, OS X & Linux · · Score: 1

    Who gives a shit about OS X and Linux?

    You're on slashdot, so I'm going to guess quite a lot of people.

  11. Re:Time to fork Git? on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    Its like you guys have no clue what history is ... that or you like watching failure repeat itself time and time again. Show me 'community driven' that didn't fail in the first year, go ahead, you can look for a while, we'll wait.

    I'm going to go ahead and guess that you're going to call every place where someone somewhere has been paid to be involved 'not community driven' even if there are only a very few people being paid. So no thanks.

    Social Media Engineer of course.

  13. Re:I know exactly what happened. on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    This was good idea.

    I absolutely disagree that this was good idea. Buying into the wifes drama and secrets makes no sense. This is a typical situation that you don't escalate anywhere. Don't talk to your co-workers about it, don't discuss it. Pretend it didn't happen and continue your work. The wife is bonkers, do not play along at any level.

    this isn't about her being female.

    I agree that her situation with the wife and the hula hoops aren't really a sexism thing, but the coworker that started reverting her patches silently after professing his love certainly is. The problem with the pathes should be easy enough to show, but it's going to be difficult proving that he actually did confess his love.

  14. Re:64 GB ECC 32 consumer, pcie vs. sata. compare H on What Would It Cost To Build a Windows Version of the Pricey New Mac Pro? · · Score: 1

    I bet you know better than Greg does. I mean, he's only a kernel engineer with access to the docs.

  16. Re:Wine is working on that on Developing Games On and For Linux/SteamOS · · Score: 1

    You're not seriously using Slackware as a benchmark for what's supported on Linux? I love the distro, but that's just absurd.

  17. Re:How is Norway going to know? on Norway Rejects Bitcoin As Currency; Taxes As Asset, Instead · · Score: 1

    You don't know shit about norway, and complain about a practice that has been abandoned which in no way took away from your personal freedom. I guess you're just an ignorat twat then.

    You get a sticker every year showing that the yearly road fee is paid, and that liability insurance is OK.

    No, stickers are out now. It's all electronic.

  19. Re:NIH on Canonical Moving Away From GNOME Control Center · · Score: 1

    Because of that Redhat lost mindshare and customers (to Canonical, in many cases).

    So a move Red Hat did in 2003 made them lose customers to an unproven upstart company with no solution for the enterprise i 2005. Sounds legit.

  20. Re:I switched to CentOS and never looked back on The Burning Bridges of Ubuntu · · Score: 0

    Your argument is bullshit as well, considering it's your anectodal evidence, which is likely to be you fucking up.

  22. Re: Oracle is not a competitor. on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Apple has more or less thrown in the towel in the server space with the retirement of the Xserve. Not that they had a huge presence anyway.

  23. It's a shitty brand on Early Surface Sales Pitiful · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Microsoft is a brand that inspires no confidence from consumers, and the only one who actually likes them are simpleton sysadmins.

  24. Hopefully on FreeBSD Co-founder Jordan Hubbard Leaves Apple To Join iXsystems · · Score: 1

    Someone will fix OS X to be a proper operating system, instead of a kludge of different build versions for different model of computers. It's so far from elegant and modular that it's a disgrace.

  25. Re:What we'd really need on Fedora Project Developer Proposes Layered, More Agile Design to Distribution · · Score: 1

    No, it's because your drunken ramblings make no sense at all. This is purely about Fedora, not upstream projects. Debian, Canonical etc. aren't pulling directly from Fedora.
