I still think Mozilla need to be kept under a watchful eye and controlled. For example they are still looking at doing some non-ethical things in order...

[kpedersen]

Perhaps they can get in touch with the guys at Iridium. I think that they might be interested to support a largely free platform like POWER.

[kpedersen]

A lot of people forget that the Linux desktop ecosystem extends further than Gnome and KDE and that the fragmentation is still such as that of the early...

[kpedersen]

Heh, I managed to port Emscripten / Clang-fastcomp to my old Solaris 10 (x86) and still occasionally use it as a build and host server for a couple of...

[kpedersen]

Is the "Freedesktop.org" even a project? What have they actually made apart from a bunch of broken desktop ideas that no-one really implements...

[kpedersen]

Didn't people much smarter than we are today decide that the non 100% portable stuff (i.e network sockets, dirent, etc) go into the POSIX standard and...

[kpedersen]

No that is incorrect.

Libre is about freedom and using truly free (i.e potentially BSD, GPL, MIT licensed) hardware and firmware. La Frite...

[kpedersen]

I am noticing that kickstarter rarely works for hardware like this.

1st Release - Large number of users back it and potentially they can...

[kpedersen]

Exactly, and we don't congratulate IBM, Google et al for doing so do we? So why should we for Microsoft?...

[kpedersen]

Yes, but the key part here is that MS finally makes a good move *for themselves*.

If we thanked them for it, we would end up just looking...

[kpedersen]

It's odd, I seem to be the only one that finds porting Id Software's older titles to alternative platforms quite difficult and time consuming. I tried...

[kpedersen]

Don't be too harsh, that sort of code is exactly the sort I would expect from a systemd'er

I joke. I actually learned something from it....

[kpedersen]

Yep , the kids have won. Their tacky gamer "dark" themes will now be plaguing us for around 3 years until they grow up. We will then have...

[kpedersen]

I agree completely. Though obviously it is to avoid embarrassing those with a weak or slightly dodgy agenda. I.e imagine if Intel gave a talk and was...

[kpedersen]

I do see your point and I do largely agree. However these larger companies that use their time to create a DRM encumbered product often overshadow or...

[kpedersen]

Ugh yes. I know a lot of friends who put a lot of effort into making XNA games for the XBOX Arcade platform and Microsoft forced online DRM on them so...

[kpedersen]

I actually agree that we should be looking at creating a single emulator, not with the view of making it great but with making it 100% portable (i.e written...

[kpedersen]

Perhaps once we can properly emulate it. Qemu absolutely fails when it comes to digital preservation.

This is just one of many bugs:
...

[kpedersen]

Heh, agreed.

And have we ever tried walking in the desert? It is a pain in the ass to do.

Just like macOS is a pain in the ass...

C++ API? OpenCV has always had official "proper" C++ support. It even provides the cv:: namespace.

I.e cv::Mat in mat.hpp.
