< fred> mwalling_: I've been using a nipple
<qartis> there's mention of openchrome (with instructions), as well as some sundry hacks that you can try
<benjsh_> why is linux so complicated
<benjsh_> it is not made for users
* mwalling has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
* phao (n=pedro@201.78.19.87) has left ##slackware
<qartis> I was never good at philosophy
<chris_punches> benjsh_, this is not a linux problem, this is a hardware manufacturing and hardware support problem. Via refuses to cooperate with the open source community in a way that efficient and usable drivers can be used in non-windows systems.
<chris_punches> Blame predatory contracting.
<chris_punches> As for philosophy, consider Sun Tzu or Thomas Hobbes.

<Gargantua> pathetic
<pilate> Gargantua, why is that pathetic? One of the biggest problems is cross-platform incompatability. OSX natively running KDE is a big step.
<pilate> shows well for kde devs as well as osx devs
<Gargantua> that's just a theme man...
<pilate> oh
<Gargantua> ahahahaha
<pilate> hahaha
<pilate> omg
<pilate> pathetic.

< Dominian> yanking it now
< Dominian> er.. cloning it now
< Dominian> fsck
< Dagmar> You don't want me messing in kernel-space.
< Dagmar> You really don't.
< Dagmar> My code either works, or your cat explodes.
< Alan_Hicks> Dagmar: What if you were writing code that's supposed to make cats explode?
< Dagmar> That *might* cause a temporal singularity

(22:35:05) ananke: qartis : your inability to communicate with others in a clear and concise manner is a problem
