infernal machines posted:so the drivers exist already? yes? broadcom distributes drivers and firmware under a restrictive license, and they are super bad under normal laptop circumstances (e.g. power management is almost totally broken). a reverse-engineered open source driver exists but it still requires broadcom's firmware. bcm doesn't really care that poo poo is broken on laptops because they wrote/published the driver for use in wireless APs and routers Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Sep 8, 2014 |

Hello from Guatemala. Computers are really cool and fun and so is Linux. I have a job that is cook and fun and Linux and I just got fresh, hand picked, home made, roasted in front of my eyes coffee and it was delicious. And some weird sweet corn tamale that was delicious. Also I saw a car accident and a volcano explode. Today was good.

I do all my text editing in ed and everything I edit is text, as the greybeards intended

I'll let you know when the 100,000 units go out. Then I can afford to give you one of them. We don't ship them in English so you'll have to convert it into a dev system or wipe it clean.

the one thing i don't like about systemd is that nobody can explain why single-hierarchy cgroups do not permit delegation of cgroup managers. one does not seem to logically follow from the other. the whole thing is managed using a virtual filesystem, right? why not just use chown and chmod to delegate instead of having to use a d-bus api. normally i dislike filesystem-like interfaces to kernel apis but this might be one of the few places where it actually makes sense and systemd is going ahead and breaking it. there's probably a good reason for it, i just can't find one and nobody answered my question on lwn.

they rowed back on that stupid "spatial file manager" poo poo they can row back on this too i understand the idea behind that, it just doesn't match how people use computers; they don't linger in many shallow folders simultaneously, they navigate through a bunch of nested folders to get to the deep one they're interested in.

I'll try to push it through one more time. you don't need open or save dialogs if you have a decent desktop file manager and a standard stationery system for apps to hook into. they only exist at all because the original Macintosh didn't have enough RAM to run Finder at the same time as an application. the Macintosh team invented them because of the limitations that were imposed upon them, not because they were a good idea in themselves. of course every system that followed the Macintosh has mimicked them, and some of those systems (any form of desktop Linux) are nth-degree mimics because they're just mindlessly copying what another system did.
