    PhantomTates reacted to Syntaxvgm in Why the Linux CoC is Bad   
    Tech is morality agnostic. Code does not reflect or endorse the views of who wrote it. 
    FOSS needs everyone with the skills it can get. 
    If Hilter came back and committed a security update to a project, it should only be rejected if it's a bad solution or he named a variable gasTheJews. In the later case change the names and keep the code.  No one's paying hitler for his code. No one cares. They care what furthers the project. This is what holds these projects together- the only important thing being the problems and the solutions. 
     
    This is dangerous, and I feel it's a systematic attack on foss solutions- destroying projects from the inside.

    1) My attacks on her are because of her hypocrisy and actions. Her attacks are based on things such as race and sexuality. Two very big differences. I have not once said that her opinions are invalid because she is trans, or whatever. I am pointing out that she is a hypocrite.
     
    2) Coraline is not the "messenger". She is the person who wrote the CoC she herself can't even follow. 
     
    3) As explained in the post, this CoC is being measured by its own merits. It has systematically been used by Coraline and others to hunt people they disagree with for whatever reason, mainly politically motivated. Did you miss the list of examples I posted?
    I am judging a tool (this CoC) on the merits of what it has accomplished (politically loaded witch hunts and attempts to attack meritocracy).
    This is an atom bomb and when I express worry you tell me to ignore historical events like Hiroshima. Sorry but when I see a pattern of misuse then I get worried and question the validity of the change.
     
     
    But sure, I will add my objections to the CoC to the original post. You can scroll up and see the parts I disagree with in like an hour when I have gone through it again and picked out which parts to highlight.

    Nonsense. Linux is not going to just disappear if Windows 10 is successful.  It's firmly entrenched in the server world. On the desktop it has only a small following but they too are not going to abandon it for Windows 10. People forget that most of the Linux distros do not exist for profit. They do not need to be commercially viable, they have and will continue to survive with a small but loyal fanbase.
     
    The people who will switch to Windows 10 are already Windows users.

    Call it nit-picky but this is a $600 phone. We all know the phone lacks in more parts of its hardware yet a small thing like this could completely ruin the phone for someone.

    Like the title says. This guy on YouTube found out his iPhone 6S has interference in the audio with efficient IEMs when navigating with his phone.

    This is a new issue to iPhones as he compares it to a 5S here:

     
    Apple made a beginner's mistake to not shield and route the audio circuit properly, which is a bad joke when talking about a $600 smartphone.

    He's an audio gear reviewer, his channel consists of headphone reviews and discussion about FLAC / amp / placebo etc etc. Ofc it's normal for him to be nitpicky about the noise from the headphone out.
     
    My phone is $350 and my IEM is $500, if my phone makes weird noises when i'm plugging my IEM to it, I'd change my phone, not my IEM

    I heard the cross is safer. The dot is handy with a heat spreader but this is a die and if you miss a spot, you're boned.

    PhantomTates got a reaction from dalekphalm in Nvidia Pitches Advantages of G-Sync Over AMD's FreeSync   
    It's not GSync vs Freesync, it's Asus's Swift vs BenQ's and LG's monitors. The sharpness is in the panel and maybe somewhat in the driver and firmware, which both can be updated so I don't see how FreeSync is inferior.

    Lock up the fan in the laptop. Connect some bare solder. That's pretty subtle.

    PhantomTates got a reaction from TheBrit in Looking for an Audio setup for under £200   
    Logan from Tek Syndicate recently made a video about good headphones for both 50 and 150 dollar price range. If you want a mic too there's recommendations about that as well.
    What do you listen to by the way(music wise) what do you prefer for sound(bass, treble, objective).
    The amp might not be necessary in case either your MoBo's sound solution is good enough and/or if the headphones you want don't have a high impedance.

    PhantomTates got a reaction from Eldanor in Asus vs MSI mobos   
    I must say what I recently had with my MSI board. The PCIe bus was shit, seriously. Even Minecraft would crash in 20 seconds in game.
    But then I...... updated my BIOS(beta 1.0 to 2.6!)..... after a YEAR..... and now all games run fine.... yeah..
    Nice experience. That was with MSI, my ASUS stuff didn't have that but that's minor.
    Go for the MSI, it has more features but update the BIOS right away.

    I totally agree. Intel right now is best for gamers with their i5 but should AMD come with a new one (28nm or smaller) then I could get a new one. I would like an 8 core with 4GHz running at 120W.
