the internals can be fixed, it's all the POSIX API stuff that we're stuck with and is terrible

Mr Dog posted:(i had a Windows 7 BSOD while composing this post. go figure. the partially composed text was there when I restarted firefox though so that's pretty neat) HD Audio may be a standard, but it is cheaper to just do whatever and ship a customized Windows driver the deals with your Chinese shitbox's quirks instead of altering the hardware fortunately our lord and savior Steve pbuh has solved printing by requiring IPP and PDF

there's already a native gallium d3d9 driver and most of a d3d10 driver, wine explicitly rejected it and it's gone nowhere since Intel not using gallium probably didn't help, and neither does everybody using nvidia's driver instead of Mesa the irritating thing is that the gallium driver outperforms the GL emulation because you can just set the bit that says "behave like d3d9" (or d3d10) instead of jumping through hoops to accomplish the same thing with the "behave like OpenGL" bit set

Suspicious Dish posted:I tried and pushed really hard to get Red Hat management to allow us to ship it. They didn't budge, for legal and philosophy reasons. As a direct result of this and plenty of other things where we just aren't allowed to ship a good user experience out of the box, I left Red Hat. I'm confused, did you want them to just ignore the patent and risk the lawsuit or eat the royalty fee on behalf of your users?

Progressive JPEG posted:maybe they should think more about fixing the cause (garbage libs whose regressions are going undetected/ignored) instead of the symptom (apps that use those garbage libs having version-specific problems) there's a guide on how to make proper shared libraries, almost nobody follows it. its purely an upstream problem.

oh, and the reason Fedora has that unbundling policy is that they don't want to deal with hundreds of different upstream packages embedding vulnerable versions of zlib willy-nilly again

Mr Dog posted:bro Suspicious Dish just posted a screenshot demonstrating that you're I was phone posting and Awful.app lost the ability to zoom in on images in iOS 8. Have a screenshot:  Oh, and the old version of Tweak Tool didn't have two booleans, it had a drop down menu that it rendered a single pixel high because it couldn't match menu:minimize,maximize,close to any of its options and then didn't bother to set any of them to be active. (Not that this matters now except as an amusing and typical failure mode.)
