Participants should feel free to propose any topic which interests them.

How about reverse engineering radeon firmware, am I free to propose that topic?

Stop doing drugs.

Dafuq?

What do you mean 22"?

I mean 22":

Did you even open the link?

Did you?

non smart TV

That’s 22". Perhaps I should have been clearer: you can’t buy a large (e.g. 75") non-smart TV.

That’s not even a TV.

Having spent a great deal of time trying to find one recently, I believe you are incorrect.

Unfortunately you can’t buy non-smart TVs any more.

The future of tech doesn’t need to be American. It doesn’t need to be Chinese. It needs to be open.

And based on Tumbleweed?

Their bosses give them targets for denying as much in benefits as they can. The front line workers are traumatised by their own actions and tend to develop unhealthy coping strategies. One of those strategies is dehumanising claimants but there are many other terrible strategies.

When I was made unemployed a few years ago, I didn’t make any benefit claims in order avoid having contact with the DWP.

In 2022, the Kremlin found itself in the position of having to quash gossip that Putin had an accident after falling down a flight of stairs, supposedly losing control of his bowels “involuntarily” due to “cancer affecting his stomach and bowels.”

“the big laptop manufacturers” aren’t going to suddenly drop their expectations just because of “Linux Development”

I haven’t claimed they would.

You didn’t answer my question.

The days/weeks/months it would take me to add it and fix all the probable bugs it entails could be used to improve the game itself

Making a game multi-platform is improving the game. Massively.

The high level of skill required to write multi-platform games is why most studios don’t bother: Windows developers are a dime a dozen but skilled multi-platform developers are rare. Have you got what it takes? Do you have the cojones to step up your programming game? Or are you happy to wallow in the slop with the rest of the Windows game developers?

Also, remember that Linux isn’t the only POSIX OS. If you do your porting right, you get to support a shed load of other OSes for very little.

Because bitching doesn’t accomplish anything

Why does the fact that it doesn’t accomplish anything mean one shouldn’t do it?

you got nothing

LOL

We are clearly talking about OP’s claim, which is for the PC industry. Not Linux development.

No. I responded to your statement that ‘They are going to write the Linux driver and say, “put this in your handheld.”’ So we’re talking only about Linux development.

You’re not giving criticism by rolling your eyes at the language. You’re bitching about it.

Your suggestion is to avoid bitching about poor reportage? Why?

My experience at Intel with drivers is directly transferable.

LOL

Intel

The industry is more than just Intel and Intel are an outlier with respect to Linux kernel development.

they will have to mainline

They will not.

Valve will not want to go the Google route and maintain a separate Linux Kernel.

They already do:

No offence mate but you’re talking bollocks. You clearly don’t know anything about Linux development.

That sound any better

Not really.

don’t let the language get in the way

Your suggestion is to avoid criticising poor reportage? Why?
