schestowitzIt's aggressive Microsoft zealots sometimesSep 18 10:01
schestowitzMilitant onesSep 18 10:01
iophkFree Software communities, and the rest of the world, need to face up to the fact that M$ is a social problem more than a technical one.  Without the zealots, boosters and belluzos, M$ would disappear from the market quite quickly.Sep 18 10:03
amarsh04the trouble is that there is an entrenched acceptance of microsoft software running stuff that requires safety-critical softwareSep 18 10:31
iophkThe acceptance, IMHO, comes from having too many zealots, boosters and belluzos around.Sep 18 10:32
amarsh04agreed, but the process of getting microsoft disappeared from where safety-critical software should be used has some hysteresis (pardon the use of the term but it's the best word I could think of)Sep 18 10:34

iophkClearly the technology fails.  Sep 18 10:39
iophkIMHO it is a social problem that is keeping M$ software around.Sep 18 10:40
MinceRthere's also the problem of forcing OEMs into deals and infiltrating governmentsSep 18 10:40
amarsh04yes, and that social problem has inertia/hysteresisSep 18 10:41

amarsh04I've been trying to arrange a meeting with someone at our state's Essential Services Commission. During the time I've been politely writing and later pestering them for an appointment, I became a fan of a singer, travelled to Japan so see her in concert in front of 26,500 people, met her backstage after the concert and had my photo taken with her. It's crazy how difficult it is to make progress improving the public sector compared with other Sep 18 10:48

amarsh04I had to control myself just then with a bug report... a package maintainer said it was my fault for getting a bug when I was running with an earlier (but still accepted) version of a required packageSep 18 13:04
amarsh04if a package needs a minimum version of another package, the Debian package dependency system is the place to put it, not leave it for the users to find out when something crashesSep 18 13:07
iophkThe package manager should do that work.Sep 18 13:08
amarsh04exactly, the maintainer claimed that his package required python 2.6, yet the package information said it required python >= 2.5Sep 18 13:09

MinceRDaemonFC: perhaps the CN of the cert is chat.freenode.netSep 18 20:10
DaemonFCseems like the recent openssl rebuild broke XChat's SSL abilitiesSep 18 20:10
MinceRso it checks out right with that domain name but not with the otherSep 18 20:10
DaemonFCno, I thought it didSep 18 20:11
DaemonFCI changed the port to 7070 and then it changed it back because I guess I didn't hit enter hard enough :PSep 18 20:11
DaemonFCwhen I looked back it said 8000 which isn't a secure portSep 18 20:11
DaemonFCso oopsSep 18 20:12
DaemonFCI don't know why it doesn't break anything else I useSep 18 20:13

*DrumScum rarely uses fglrxSep 18 22:10
sebsebsebWhat's this about AMD not supporting Gnome Shell, but supporting Unity?Sep 18 22:11
DrumScumwell, i don't really get it...Sep 18 22:11
DaemonFCbecause Unity is easy to supportSep 18 22:12
DaemonFCit uses CompizSep 18 22:12
DaemonFCCompiz has tons of FGLRX workaroundsSep 18 22:12
DrumScumsurely the graphics driver just has to draw whatever the program asks?Sep 18 22:12
DaemonFCand doesn't use OpenGL 2Sep 18 22:12
DrumScumoh, like thatSep 18 22:12
DrumScumthe catch-up gameSep 18 22:12
DaemonFCOpenGL 2 deprecates the use of fixed functions in favor of programmable shadersSep 18 22:13
DaemonFCit's why KDE 4.7 falls back to the OpenGL 1.4 backend for FGLRXSep 18 22:13
DaemonFCbut free drivers and Nvidia get OpenGL 2Sep 18 22:13
DrumScumokay, that's cool for meSep 18 22:14
DaemonFCthe nice thing about OpenGL ES 2 is that it gets rid of a  lot of crap that is either deprecated in OpenGL anyway, or not all that useful for the kind of stuff "mobile" applications will need, like portable video game systems, tablets, phones, etc.Sep 18 22:16
DaemonFCit performs better because the API is much smallerSep 18 22:16
DaemonFCsame thing as GLIDE vs. OpenGL, kind ofSep 18 22:16
DaemonFCthe differences aren't drastic on a powerful GPU but they're noticable Sep 18 22:16
DaemonFCsame rationale too, the OpenGL API is enormous and way too bloated to implement on that kind of hardware constraintSep 18 22:18
DaemonFCso OpenGL ES is the light and fast version with the most useful stuffSep 18 22:18
DaemonFCKDE supports it for a number of reasonsSep 18 22:18
DaemonFCmostly mobile devices and Wayland Sep 18 22:18
DaemonFCunfortunately, I think FGLRX is too much of a mess to support OpenGL ES when it can't even cope with OpenGL a lot of the timeSep 18 22:19

*DaemonFC has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Sep 18 22:25
DrumScumokay, but in the end it's not so much amd not supporting the gnome shell, but rather fglrx not supporting recent OpenGL stuff...Sep 18 22:29
DrumScumi don't really care eiSep 18 22:30
DrumScumther waySep 18 22:30
DrumScumon my machines with ATI/AMD grahpics hardware, i just use radeonSep 18 22:30
DrumScumfsck the proprietary crap that's fglrxSep 18 22:31
DrumScumbit of a pity really that the free drivers for ati/amd outclass the free drivers for nvidiaSep 18 22:32
