Site's not ready for 21st century.


Indeed it's not ready. It loads and reacts to clicks too fast and doesn't use two megabytes of JavaScript.


ie. A misconfigured webserver for ssl.


> pretty much confined to the windows ecosystem.

That's interesting. Apparently I'm dreaming that I'm developing with C# on my macOS and deploying to Linux?


Do you not understand what 0 mph is or why do you use scummy clickbait titles?


Seriously? I'm 90% sure this will NOT reach Lambo times in Nordschleife. And as a sports car, it will 100% not be fun to drive, weight is everything in a quick small car for fun.


Regarding gaming - Linux went backwards now that new gadgets like VR headsets and high refresh synced monitors are required for serious gaming. Feels like 2002 all over again without any games.


TBH, the hardware manufacturers could write drivers for their stuff.


Or at least write open documentation so free software can do the work.


So that people can do their work for free.

Is writing proper docs so bad not even getting these fine people working for you for free makes it worth the effort?


They might do, if Linux wasn't so hostile to the concept of proprietary drivers and had a stable driver ABI.

Not that I necessarily disagree with their position on the matter, but you can't escape the consequences.


Well, there would be another kind of consequences. See Android, where there are proprietary drivers and most of them are buggy crap thrown over the wall.

There is also a reason, why Apple won't ship hardware or drivers, that they don't have source for.


I'm not sure "Linux" (by this I believe you mean Linux kernel and distros & open-source software) is hostile to the concept of proprietary drivers. There is only a small subset of users who are hostile to proprietary drivers. And I have no idea why you are suggesting Linux doesn't have a stable ABI.


Because for drivers, it doesn't and never did and never will as long as Linus has anything to say about it. This is in stark contrast to his position on userland ABI, which is so stable you can still run Motif.


Ok, that sounds like a fair criticism.


hangman still works great!


> and code using your PS/2 keyboard...

That's not even a hipster thing, it's quite mainstream with gaming keyboards...


If you want reinventing the wheel 24/7 - this job is for you!


How is that dark?


typo .. I meant dank humor


I've seen this before, in a movie - "we cured cancer", then, suddenly, zombie apocalypse.


> A lot of people I know are bailing on .net

Crazy attracts crazy, now you know.
