6010·14 days agoThe reactions here are why people don’t join forums, don’t ask questions, or choose to learn alone. “duh, I knew that”. Yes, the dude didn’t, which is exactly why he’s frustrated. I think too many have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner and make a fatal mistake, which would explain the mocking responses here and things like recommending new linux users Arch.
Which is exactly the situation the dude was in. As a newbie, it’s an easy mistake to make. Telling somebody who doesn’t know “well, would you look at that, you didn’t know!” is not just unhelpful, it’s useless and condescending.
46·17 days agoDoes that mean we’ll start seeing desktop apps like IDEs running in Android? How are you going to develop python on android? A linux container / VM? That’s going to be so wasteful. But I am curious.
It won’t be good for flashing though. Probably once support ends, it’ll be a slow brick upon which one can’t install linux.

Great response. You didn’t just recommend your favourite but considered the requester’s input, explained why options were filtered out, and narrowed it down to an option with a great description.
I hope OP agrees, but this is what’d be considered stellar customer service if OP were a customer.
Piracy isn’t only torrenting. Speeds are better on TOR than I2P, so streaming websites could host the data and allow users to download it directly (DDL). They could also be on TOR and I2P, then provide the DDLs on TOR and torrents on I2P - the best of both worlds.
If all this piracy were running on anonymized networks like TOR or I2P, they’d have a much harder time taking down stuff and censoring it.

Opensource after EOL. Vote for parties that care, write to your representatives, sign petitions, and vote with your wallet.
Just use newpipe or some other app like grayjay. It’s way ahead of the standard YouTube app.
We still suffer from the runtime errors that could’ve been caught at compilation time.
There’s absolutely no need to call QAs, product owners, HR, finance personnel, or janitors “devs” because they work in or for a gaming company. They have roles and it’s completely fine for them not to be devs.
Make random comparisons from other industries all you want
I thought it would help with understanding and provide perspective, but it seems like the shutters are down and bolted. Understanding cannot penetrate the fortress of “everybody in a gaming company is a developer”.
This ancient attitude is the same upper management position where cutting swathes of knowledgable established QA will bring short term profits only to later hire even more fresh QAs, often contractors or outsourced.
What does this have anything to do with definition of developers? Diddly squat. Upper management will fire anybody with little to no understanding of their function because they consider everybody below them to be a number on a sheet; a replaceable cog in the machine.
You think QA has never seen a line of code?
What are you on about? Seeing a line of code doesn’t make you a developer. Reading memes about coding doesn’t make you a developer, shocker.
What’s the imaginary line to being part of game dev to you?
Being part of the game development process does not make you a developer. How many times do I have to repeat this? If you write the game, you’re a developer, otherwise you have another role on the team that is not game development. It’s that easy.
You design a character? Not a developer. You test the game? Not a developer? You develop the story and draw the art? Not a developer. None of that is writing the game’s code.
You can be both a developer and an artist, for sure, if you write the game’s code.
Bro, what? Being part of the development process doesn’t make you a developer. The hell? So you think somebody who has never even seen a line of code and manages a team of developers is a developer? You seriously want to tell me that the finance director of a construction company can call himself a builder because he manages the money needed to pay the builders? Jeff Bezos is a top paid developer at Amazon because he developed a strategy to R&D the fuck out everything and signed off on a product?
Also, I thought it was obvious that my sentence about a “programme developer” not being a software developer would make it pretty obvious, that the presence or lack of “developer” in the title isn’t the defining attribute of the job.
If you think QAs are software developers, I’d like to know what you think QA stands for. Hint, it doesn’t stand for developer.
Inb4 “they develop tests”: so an event planner is also a developer then because they “develop a programme” and the words “develop” and “programme” are in the job description.
Title days “devs” article says HR and QA most laid off. Those aren’t devs…
Still, it does sound like employees in gaming companies should unionise!

I like the prospect of more Linux hardware hitting the market with officially supported distros. The European Union should be funding this kind of stuff to supplant Microsoft within its borders.
It’s PNG? I was hoping it would be a vector image to have unpixelated monster mouse pointer goodness.
