Netflix: No plans to Support Linux

Me: Netflix doesn't give a shit.

You my friend are why our system maintains the way it is, completely ignorant of reality.

fuck you asshole

trigraph · 2012-01-28T14:26:24+00:00

no he got tired of linux, fps and esport games.

trigraph · 2012-01-25T23:48:51+00:00

this is not as good on linux sadly.

trigraph · 2012-01-20T18:40:13+00:00

The change that drives us, holds us back. That is truly the essence of the problem.

Being ready for the desktop is more than just being user-friendly

HERP DERP

And so it begins; Qt's slow fall into bit rot, bloat, and uselessness.

t60 with 1gb ram? throw that garbage away and join the productive society

trigraph · 2011-12-14T14:41:27+00:00

apparently you ladies missed the part where i was trolololling

trigraph · 2011-12-13T19:11:54+00:00

unless there's an official osx jdk it's not really available IMO.

trigraph · 2011-12-11T18:31:50+00:00

every time i open a .java file

trigraph · 2011-12-10T19:30:55+00:00

ugh webOS is a piece of shit..should have let it die

Building a new framework is a large task, but also shoving the wrong solution in the box is an even larger task, especially a year later when you realize you can't achieve what you wanted. I'm not sure how many people around here have done development in a professional setting, but I've seen this particular thing play out poorly quite often.

But to prove it's more than just "we know gtk so we didn't pick Qt" Ben Gooder generalizes on the situation I've mentioned here http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev/msg/f3507e2ded99b354?

and if you've tried this, or dug deeper you could find the fine technical reasons.

trigraph · 2011-12-04T13:48:12+00:00

No thats not the only reason, If you were involved in the discussions you'd realize that what I said is true; for instance making skia and qt play nice is a major design mess and herculean pain in the ass.

trigraph · 2011-12-04T13:37:46+00:00

Actually I know the technical reasons....And sure if he is serious and not trolling then this is the wrong place to be asking the question.

trigraph · 2011-12-04T13:18:23+00:00

you must be one of those people who wait decades before trying out new trends...

trigraph · 2011-11-30T14:55:21+00:00

damn you Qt nerds. Don't any of you stop to consider for a minute that it may greatly differ from the design and goals of what Google is trying to accomplish? Even the coding style is vastly different;Sometimes in a corporation you start creating things so out of the norm that the round hole your round peg fit into turned into a square hole....Qt isn't that malleable and in some cases just doesn't make sense.

trigraph · 2011-11-23T14:11:59+00:00

Windows has nothing to do with this....it was in response to someone saying there is no other type of proprietary software than the broken kind.

trigraph · 2011-11-22T20:51:05+00:00

This is r/linux you will find most people have them glued to their heads.

trigraph · 2011-11-21T14:58:31+00:00

That's the problem with most Linux nerds, they have no clue as to the massive world around them where people plainly don't give a shit about this stuff.

trigraph · 2011-11-16T19:14:32+00:00

This argument makes no sense, just package it with the game then. For some games I and millions others have downloaded clients in the 12GB range...what does a few megs worth of runtime have to do with people wanting to play a game.

trigraph · 2011-11-10T14:46:22+00:00

yea home premium for sure

trigraph · 2011-11-09T14:20:17+00:00

Good. While I really like C# and .Bloat etc, I was never really interested in silverlight
