No, the fix should be at the root of the problem.
i.e. your licence?
The distros' practises.
Because tuomo is always right (tm)
Are you talking about Xinerama support here? - the mod which works fine,
doesn't cause probles on non Xineramra desktops
It doesn't work fine. It can't.
Oh - then how come I've never had any problems with it?
but you have some bizarre
notion is amoral on some grounds I've never quite grasped?
Morality is bullshit. Religion in disguise.
I'm sorry I thought I was talking to a rational individual. Morality is,
at worst, a societal decree of acceptable behaviour, and at best a clear
definition of correct behaviour provided by the designer of a system.
I'm guessing you're agnostic since you seem to detest religion so much.
As you don't maintain a "stable" branch
Utter and total BULLSHIT. Ion2 is the stable branch. But the idiots
behind the distros think they know better than the author, which
releases are stable -- meaning bug-free, not "static" as the distros
apply the term.
I really don't know what your problem is with AA or udev: Correctly done
AA actually helps text
AA makes text ugly, blurry, and unreadable, compared to decent unblurred
screen fonts. It only helps with shoddy printer fonts--which are no good
without hinting on present poor screen resolutions. But the herd just
loves anti-aliasing and all other new/modern shine, and expects everyone
else to do so too, and crams it down their eyes.
ugly - subjective
blurry - subjective and dependant on the antialiasing used
unreadable - subjective
You (as admitted below) just hate anything new.
udev doesn't exactly kick up a stink.
Try adjusting device permissions, symlink names, anything. It's pain
compared to just chmod/chown/ln -s. The cryptic config files also
change all the time in the distros, and it takes ages at boot.
Never causes me any issues - on personal machines or any of the servers
(both in office servers and the ~hundred public facing servers we run).
Cryptic config is a pain wherever it is, but it's not as if the ion config
file is stable in syntax.
Ah - you're feeling opressed. Then again you seem to feel victimised by
most walks of life if your blog is anything to go by. I think that's
mostly how you view the world.
Modern technology mostly sucks.
Except vacuum cleaners I presume.
It's more work for me to maintain all that code.
Not if it's correctly implemented when you integrate it.
