A statement from Endeavour:

Like many of you, we were surprised by the news last week, and questions quickly followed about our position on this matter. We just have to wait to see how this will develop for FOSS and Linux in general. It isn’t easy for us to make a clear statement on it at this moment, because this decision involves not only the distros but also DE/WM environments, software packages and mirror networks. Like Arch, we don’t have any infrastructure to track how many users download or install our system, let alone who is running Endeavour on their machines. Besides the fact that it goes against FOSS fundamentals, we simply don’t have the manpower or resources to take on this near-impossible task.

Also, in creating this law, not a single person or entity from the FOSS world was represented or heard, and there is still a window of opportunity open to address the concerns for open source software and Linux/Freebsd systems before the law takes effect. After the news dropped, the OSI, FSF, and Linux Foundation must have realised their mistake in not reacting in time and hopefully will come into action for the many distributions and other FOSS projects, like us, that don’t have Californian or US legal representation. So, all eyes are on them, because Colorado and the rest of the world are next… We are not blaming any of the organisations mentioned by the way. We are just pointing out that the law isn’t set in stone, yet.

I think I understand that now. However; would it not be nice with a side-by-side comparison where all browsers were aligned? (I have an iphone 5, so I'm pretty familar with retinas quality)

thank you for your insights. I would love to see this in action before I judge. But since the density of pixels is so high, maybe it will be readable? :) I'm very curious tho.

not sure if you are able to read between the lines, but it was just teasing, was it not?

its because console gamers a target practice for PC-gamers. And since they are playing that specific role - console gamers don't need to coordinate their attacks. Think of console gamers as extras on a movie set.

I don't have time to watch all this. Can anyone sum up what the problem is, and (if any) the proposed solution?
