in theory. Need reviewers for that, though.

They are. Their decision put the responsibility squarely in the hands of the submitter, with no need to even declare use of slop assistants.

As a programmer, I can always run stuff without installing ;) As a user, however, I wish to have 3D acceleration capable graphics drivers for the occasional game.

Could have but

1. I somehow doubt they did
2. patches flow back into stable, too.

I had to freeze rsync because of that :(

Torvalds losing his marbles is not new, sadly.

as a Debian user: I wish they had chosen a distro that didn’t just decide to accept slop contributions.

Let’s hope they never dare to try.

so we’re hoping for incompetence of fascists to save us? :(

Not sure what you mean - I don’t see anyone daring to invade China in the present or foreseeable future.

Are you saying you could free us? I feel like you need what you have to defend your southern border :/

Thank the corrupt and elitist fucks of CxU and SPD for a couple of decades of cutting access to education and ignoring the problems of those under their rule. And fuck you, Frotze, in particular!

West German Nazis are mostly closeted in CDU and FDP, cosplaying democrats.

Nope. And there’s no major anti-Nazi military power left in the world to put us back on track this time :( vomits

I’ve been saying this for years. Perceived justice/punishment is not worth the lives of thousands of innocents.

I think you got that wrong. If anyone should leave, it’s fascist sympathizers.

Computers being math, and the human sense of touch being pretty dang sensitive, means that other peripherals than screens, can represent that nuance required to reverse engineer, or anything else relating to computer code.

I am genuinely interested in what’s available today on that level - the last I checked, it was still Braille displays, and those were not good for much beyond text.

There are blind programmers, I am very much aware, and I could definitely see myself still enjoying development would I not be able to see. But for myself, I always assumed I would need someone else with normal eyesight to debate the algorithms and help me implement.

The term for what you are doing and which isn’t something that requires malice, is ableism.

Aren’t you jumping to conclusions now? I never made any comments about her skill, I expressed - poorly worded, I now admit - my curiosity. But the answer I was expecting was “yes, she is visually impaired but she did all of this anyway”, which would be all the more impressive. You do agree it is harder to work on graphics drivers as a visually impaired person, don’t you?

[…] just from a critique based on perception of facial features from a picture

Let me quote my original comment verbatim:

She has this out-of-focus look that makes it seem like she’s visually impaired or blind - but I guess then she wouldn’t be working on graphics drivers, of all things?

Where / how do you read any form of critique into that?

Definitely interesting, but also relatable - I mean we have mathematicians and physicists doing (useful) calculations in 4D and higher, and I bet most of them can’t picture a 4D space :)

My bad I didn’t think about the transmission. I somehow silently assumed they’d bite, lay eggs, bite again, lay more eggs.

I didn’t conclude anything, I speculated. Because it’s relevant to graphics driver engineering.

Well - I don’t want to overanalyse it. It was really only curiosity in combination with graphics driver development.
