As a German who was taught all the dark times of our nation in school, I can confidently say that us causing the second War To End All Wars is almost as bad as this company’s behaviour.

Yikes friend… this reads like a different flavour of holocaust denial…

A bunch of people were trying to make that argument to explain Hellwig’s disagreement, but it was never the case. His argument amounted to “you can’t make create unified code to reference mine, you must have each driver maintain its own independent calls to my code”.

Here’s the thing though, is Marcan got called out (rightfully) for his shit by Linus, but Linus could have called out Hellwig in the same email. The lack of that, to my reading, felt like implicit support of Hellwig’s position to me, and I can see why Marcan would have felt the same way.

In saying that, it would also be fair for Linus to not “give in to the pressure” of Marcan’s actions on social media and basically given him what he wanted.

Ada was also already wary of drag after the respecting pronouns rule announcement, because a number of blahaj users rightfully pointed out drag is still likely a troll. Fluff around and find out basically.

Ah yeah, you’re right.

Just curious, could you point me to where Bazzite says Nvidia is experimental still? I run it on a 1080+Intel Ivy Bridge EP desktop and it has decent performance, at least on par with Win10 since the 560 driver. (/gen)

That’s a simply amazing pun for a library name. I really enjoy the history of kind of silly naming within linux and programming generally.

You: *wanders into a linux comm*
You: Some of you are insufferable.

Also you: *calls someone a dickhole*

Then why are you here in a linux comm? It feels like you just want to be contrarian…

I would have figured the whole point of the project is getting to feature parity, right? It makes it a harder sell if you lose a bunch of them when migrating to Linux.

I wonder if one of their existing mainboards would fit in the form factor of something like a Legion Go (which is quite a bit larger than a Steam Deck)

They literally all do this if you lapse on paying your registration fees. It’s not like they seized it for other reasons and then auctioned it. Unlike whichever one we saw a while back seizing a fediverse domain for “CSAM” which literally amounted to a drawing of two high-school age girls kissing.

Source? Only reason I’m using Apple Maps in the first place is because I need public transport directions and it’s not Google Maps. Organic Maps doesn’t have them, and I don’t want to use the app my state gov puts out because the way it calculates connections is garbage. Most international PT-only apps don’t have my city even though it’s the biggest in Australia.

Apple at least aren’t showing me that dumb shit in Australia that Google is doing with parentheses:

Yeah, same here in Australia.

I don’t want to get involved in this drama, I haven’t read the linked post, and I only perused the links in the other thread, but I have a couple points I’d like to add.

Firstly, it should be noted that the age of both your account, and the OP of the other post, is less than four days. That leads me into my second point.

lost full credibility to me when it began claiming who was who on the interwebs

Unearthing sock puppet accounts is a tale as old as the internet. Back on the bad site (Reddit) using a sock puppet for vote manipulation was one of the few things that would consistently get someone site-banned. Over on Wikipedia the same is true. Both those sites don’t ban alt accounts, only using them to manipulate for personal gain. Which makes me really suspicious of you both, what your intentions are, and who’s behind these accounts.

(and it’s true people here are the only ones who think many of the things they think)

Thirdly, if you’re talking about here on Lemmy, or here in c/fediverselore, that very clearly isn’t true. For a start, this is some off platform drama that no one seems to super care about. But as well, the other OP linked to a bunch of posts on other platforms (namely reddit and deviantart IIRC) of people that very obviously thought these things. This quote from you genuinely sounds like something Cheeto Man would say.

This isn’t entirely true though. Devs could target an AppImage for example.

Bingo. And if you don’t use apps with ads, like only using jellyfin, you get none at all.

I genuinely believe that if he was still around he’d of ended up a proponent for federated social media. I’m pretty sure he was the driving force behind opening it’s source, and it wasn’t until four years after his death that it was closed off again.

Except you’re wrong about them wanting to put Rust code in the DMA subtree. As per the article linked below by M1ch431:

In a message to the Linux kernel mailing list, Hellwig wrote: “No Rust code in kernel/dma, please.” For what it’s worth, the patch added code to the rust/kernel portion of the Linux source tree, not kernel/dma, as far as we can tell.

All they were doing is adding an abstraction layer, within the already existing Rust code, so that rust drivers could communicate with the C DMA code in a uniform and predictable manner. It would have put far more work on maintainers, both C and Rust alike, to have each and every driver implement its own abstraction to the DMA API. Issues would have been/will be filed against the kernel/dma subtree in error due to issues with these myriad abstraction layers.
