Thread 512878155

(In reply to Zeb Figura from comment #177)
I've been programming for free software since 2001.
24 years. Been using wine a similar amount of time.
Diablo 1 always worked to some degree or another as far as I can remember.

I just tried forcing it now to a windowed mode using DxWnd (note: in OSX); only got to see the red bottom of the screen (up from being all black in full screen mode): and then it crashed.

This is a regression as far as I can tell.
And yes: in free software/ opensource, things are just dismissed and labeled won't fix now. As if it's a professional corporate environment. Started since someone decided to attempt to extract slave labour from graduates by requiring opensource contributions for job placement.

Forcing the unwilling (or coercing) to interact with opensource just destroys the culture that caused its success.

And the removal of that culture is causing regressions and failure. From the removal of ReiserFS because it's "unmaintained" (this was never a requirement: we used not look a gift horse in the mouth and were grateful for any contributions of code from anyone) with the underlying reason being that it's author is hated by the new people who have replaced the hackers that once built everything in this subject, to various other speech-code related enforcements (codes of conduct): contribution from actual hackers has been "DEEPRECIATTTEEED" (again: we never used to "DEEPREEECIATE" anything: working on old hardware, working with the same configs for decades since the 70s and 80s was a point of pride in linux and the bsds.) and has largely been ceased.

People like Hans Reiser are not "allowed" to contribute to opensource anylonger: where as the previous mantra; and promise; was code is what mattered: not character (not that there is anything wrong with Reiser's character: he's a man of brutal and direct action: something the hackers who created free software didn't have any opinion either way about)

Things are now ripped out of opensource because of who the author is, and what he believes, and what he did to the beloved class of new-testament coded beliefs: while being of the hated class that loves the ideas of the unadultered old testament and classical works from the same time period (not in english).
(Hans Reiser, clearly being of the latter class)

ReiserFS made Linux. And it may have made all of opensource in a way.
Linux was nothing and nowhere before it. I remember those days. It shot up to the sky on the data centre once the JournalingFS was included. We all switched to it. It also forced the people who made ext2 to add journaling and make ext3 years later. They wouldn't have done it otherwise.

With Linux's rise, after ReiserFS was added; everything else rose too.
But Hans Reiser is treated like shit now.
He is not respected for his work.
Same with every other "old" C programmer.
They're all kicked out of their own projects. Taken over by entryists.
Everything degraded, regressed, and slowed down.

The type of men who were attracted to working on these engineering projects don't bother working collectivly anymore: they will not work for FREE under speech codes: or under others ruling over them "socially". Which is the reason this has been added to opensource and freesoftware (though RMS resisted it abit). To discourage engineer participation. It is effective.

There was a time when opensource was the top in security, in resource usage, and in keeping old machines running, and in new features. JournalingFS, Pax/GRsecurity hardening, fast execution on ancien regime machines.
We had it all.

And it was taken away.
Socially. When we were targeted by the intelligence agencies, now quite awhile ago. But I remeber it happening.

Here's the error in windowed mode on OSX, : seems the same to me:

I liked your effort post anon

Just make your own fork lmao

Only good thing to happen this year is the XLibre fork.

I thought I was on /g/ for a second.
What prompted that rant?
Regressions in Wine are usually addressed.

Also you can run non-kiked Linux distributions that don't use systemd and Wayland. Also I never understood the appeal of most if not all alternative file systems. Ext4 seems to be good for most, if not all applications.

Communist tranny retard sisters, how do we respond without sounding mad?

>>512879893
Linux and other open-source projects are getting pozzed by trannies and other undesirables so I guess you could make the argument it's political

>>512880357
This has been happening for years, way before the acronym DEI became mainstream.
The enshittification is pervasive and it's a combination of kikes, subhumans and degenerates but it's nothing new.

The first inklings I saw of this were 2014ish. When they started requiring ids and verification for shit like github I noped out of contributing. If you make anything even remotely interesting, an army of pretentious faggots will come for you.

I liked LInux from the days of the X Window System being the video support in the distribution. I don't need anything prettier than that. The whole distribution was small enough that I could understand the parts I wanted to. Now it's vast and has hidden parts and it doesn't do any more for me than the old simple stuff did.

Soon (if not already; I don't follow the developer culture anymore) AI will be writing the code. And rather than replacing Linux, I'd want it to replace Windows with something that works compatibly but is open source.

It would be nice if ReactOS were a good working alternative.

>>512882339
I remember reading about it when I was a kid. There's an alpha now, but I seriously doubt it will reach any sort of usable state.

>>512880246
>good for most
Exactly. Some people have the other use cases. They would maintain that pat of the system to themselves and nobody would give a fuck. Like nobody gives a fuck about /vmg/ but we just don't go there and let them have their fun.

>>512880246
I've used ext4 for 13 years and never had an issue with it. I don't mind the extra space it needs given the reliability. It's not really needed for media-only storage, bit for the primary os disk or home directory disk it's great.
PS I don't care that paul reiser killed his wife, he's still funny and she was a thief.

>>512879893
There are faggots who are openly supporting rust, wayland, appimage and other trash that should not be in linux.

>>512880246
This. But they are making pozzed serum in the kernel itself. Rust code is in kernel now. They will make certain middleware depend on it and it will be over.
