    Well, it’s not like problems are guaranteed, most things just work, except maybe Steam.

    I heard there was big investment from Germany into flatpack, I hope it become more polished, it would be great. I do like fully native apps, but I like stability and ease of install better.

    Not to protect so called “toxic environment”, but sometimes people need to hear what others think about them and their work, preferably without pink glasses. Hiding truth behind fake polite smile is not correct approach either.

    As an example, Linus once harshly commented about breaking user space. Was it impolite to mog developer? Maybe. But nowadays in our “polite circle with pink ponies” people more easily do what they not supposed to, cause there no harsh feedback. My amdgpu crashing and taking full video stack with it each focking time. It can’t restart even if you trigger /sys/kernel/debug, like, it’s dead-dead. And that due to user space program, aka game. This shit should’t happen and yet here we are. Could it be different if Linus kept yelling at people, to reinforce fear of breaking stuff? My money on “yes”. There other examples of course, like compete disaster called “Concord”, where ultra polite environment became so forced that it kinda became toxic thing on itself and we all know the end result of it.

    So yea, not a fan of that.












  • That the most stupid thing I read today, thank you

    Yes, sure, dev doesn’t owns me “a solution”. Nor respect. Nor do I. So go fuck yourself.

    You don’t like that answer and you think that I should’ve keep it to myself? Well, too bad, go fuck yourself asshole, you said yourself — I or dev didn’t own you anything.

    My point (cause you probably won’t understand, otherwise you wouldn’t make that stupid statement): you own to a community basic respect. It called ethics. You don’t just shit-talk (even if veidly) user that asking for help. If you not willing to help — you free to pass that thread or ignore it. That dev didn’t helped in the slightest by being jerk.



  • I like the irony: you dislike when someone impolite in response to some dev (qa?) message, but not when dev themself being impolite to user.

    P.S. I kinda tired to be honest. In early days of 7900xtx’s driver I did helped as mush as I could in corresponding tickets and bug reports, but what the point? This evening, before monday, I just wanted to play damn game. On my damn computer. But no, I got a bug to deal with and first spotted comment is from some unhinged dev. How do you think I feel and how willing I to provide any help with debugging? Nope, I’m done. Will just downgrade and that will become someone else’s problem.
