Wine is not as good as it used to be. Can't run old games we love. I'm told, as a 23 yr C programmer, this is all "won't fix" and to get the hell out of opensource that it's "our space now".

Problems are just labled "WONT FIX", and hackers are not wanted here anymore.
"WONT FIX"
"WONT FIX HAHAHAHAHHA"
etc.
Free Sofware has been brigaded and taken over, and the class of people that actually built it up (Hackers) has been thrown out.

Now it's broken here and there and everywhere in subtle ways.
Like WONT FIX HAHAHAHA 16 bit binaries being able to run.
The installers for all Maxis games are 16 bit, even if the binary is 32.

This "feature" is intentionally "wont fix" to break wine.
Just as the mis-features the linux kernel has been adding, enabling, etc (ie no calling a 16 bit code from 64 bit binaries) is designed to make the Hacker OS regress to a broken state that cannot run what it could just a few years ago.
(Examples from Linux: This includes things such as that default kernel option being enabled , to other such things as deleting ReiserFS: the first journaling file system and a Godsend back then. It MADE linux: from a toy to a server OS. MP3.com saved millions of dollars when it was added, for instance; but also slightly older things like rejecting PaX/Grsecurity and then years later not doing anything when they violated the GPL)

Every by-line and slogan is twisted to socially block improvements
"Oh well, hun, WINE is not an EMULATOR, so WONT FIX!!!!"
"but 16 bit used to work, and is essential"
"NO __HUN__ wine is not a space for hackers, BANNNED!"
Same on the LKML
Same on every "opensource" project now.

Our software ecosystem that we spent our lives programming; in whatever corner of Free Software we were in: has been taken from us. Converted.
And the men who were the hackers; replaced.

Most installers are 16 bit, retard.

This is free and open sores software at play. What the hell did you think the "free" in freetardation terms meant? You're just that much of a demented retard who thinks they can get by with lying about their age/experience; and parroting the last 10 threads with the exact same talking points as though you expect us to have the same memory span as you (1 second). So, I guess you wouldn't get it.

A thread didn't need to die for a thread that could be truncated down to a single word "freetards"
