Huh? Joke is on me? Care to explain? (Edit: On second thought, forget it. I don't care)



"No duh." That's why EGLStreams...

[DanL]

By saying something nonsensical like "Use gstreamer instead of pulseaudio!"...

[DanL]

Gnome is not the standard desktop. (Did GhostofFunkS hack your account or something?) GBM is not a good open standard either as already explained....

[DanL]

Nope, but that's a moot point. None of the desktops are forced to use it or support it. The point is that it's available for those who do want to use...

[DanL]

I find it funny that the people complaining about "maintenance burden" act like they're the ones who are stuck with it. The code was written...

[DanL]

I was hoping to click on the article and get an nginx error. It's a missed opportunity for irony.

[DanL]

And why is that? You do know the history behind it, correct?...

[DanL]

They don't have any replacements, that would cost a ton, and it can be mitigated through software. U.S. courts would never go for it anyway....

[DanL]

That's what I like to wake up to - some nice Phoronix trolling....

[DanL]

That's ridiculous. No one's getting screwed if it gets merged. If you don't like it, don't use it. Whether it gets merged or not has nothing to do with...

[DanL]

^That is completely unreadable. Smilies are not a substitute for periods. Now you're being stupid on purpose....

[DanL]

WTF? We = everyone on Phoronix with at least half a brain that has read your posts.



No. It's an oversimplified half-truth at...

[DanL]

We already knew logic was not your strong suit. Thanks for confirming.



And as I said, they could continue to use an LTS distro...

[DanL]

No. If you say -
AMD dropped support for my card - that's FALSE
AMD dropped future proprietary driver support for my card - that's TRUE...

[DanL]

Just because the open source driver existed, it doesn't mean it was ready for general use...



No, they don't. They could continue...

[DanL]

No, I was referring to ATI/AMD moving RadeonHD 2000 - 4000 to the open source driver.



Huh? That makes no sense in response...

[DanL]

They didn't drop it. They moved it to the open source driver.
Also, there were rebadged Fermi products that launched in 2014, so I'm not sure where...

[DanL]

I disagree with your theory. I used to triage bugs for Debian and Ubuntu and I've seen so many suspend/resume complaints on all sorts of devices. I don't...

[DanL]

You've been on Phoronix for four years and you think this article/thread is absurd? Interesting......

[DanL]

LMAO. Let me guess - the desktop, toolkit and everything you prefer is The One True Way (C). The distros I'm familiar with let the user decide as much...
