I don't think you can clasify anything in Chromium as tier 1 unless it is in a product Google ships, everything else is always officially unmaintained...

[carewolf]

Yeah. One of the platforms lost with QtWebKit

[carewolf]

This IS in the standard library......

[carewolf]

Right, what I meant was that back in the day it only worked for KDE applications, which is part of the reason it never caught on much. With GNOME doing...

[carewolf]

I feel the same. And on a large desktop screen it places the menu far from the application. It is just bad...

[carewolf]

KDE has had a global menu since KDE2 days, it just isn't default because it is kind of stupid and only works with KDE apps....

[carewolf]

Well, they have done it before and it is stated in the article that it was commisioned by Intel, so no lying. The trick here is just to make the paid...

[carewolf]

And Intel is embargoing independent reviewers from reviewing it, to give their commisioned scam reviews a chance to spread misinformation first: Intel's...

[carewolf]

Listen dumbass. It is one thing that you are ludicrously wrong, but don't also be offensively wrong.

Just stop.

[carewolf]

At least in C++ we can use language namespaces, that solves it by making it different names. It just isn't backwards compatible, when you switch to i...

Oh, and it also forgot to mention the currently most successful project for cross-Linux distribution: Steam.

[carewolf]

The talk seems to be ignoring Qt, except a passing mention it as the most common toolkit used. Odd...

Also, forgets to mention: Static l...

AFAIK Chrome can show 4K Netflix on Windows with a Kaby Lake or newer Intel CPU, and on newer ChromeCast devices, so they have the code....

[carewolf]

Anyway, last time I enabled it for QtWebEngine, it worked on my machine for some codecs but not for others, and other peoples machine, the codecs that...

[carewolf]

Plus nvidia do have a va-api wrapper, so it actually works for them too....

[carewolf]

Debian stable has a newer version of clang than the even the latest XCode by Apple. They are still on some damned fork of clang 3.9 with a false version...

[carewolf]

More like three years. I have testing clang-libc++ builds of Qt routinely for a while....
