I want to make it clear that "taking a holier-than-thou attitude" was never my intention. I wanted to highlight the fact that the title is wrong, and it indeed is, and that users complacency with abuse from the vendors do not help.
- wtallis 5y agoYou really weren't trying to communicate clearly. Repeatedly referring to "a different driver" or "a specific driver" when you meant "the driver for a different operating system", and writing comments that presume (but only implicitly) a Linux context when the original blog post is analyzing the macOS driver is less than helpful. You also seemed to be going out of your way to avoid mentioning other operating systems by name. Everything you've said in this thread could have been more clearly and helpfully condensed to "the Linux driver doesn't include this behavior, and probably never could because it's open-source and upstreamed to the kernel".
- marcodiego 5y agoYou're right on this one. I unnecessarily adopted a provocative stance. I'll try better control my temper and be more clear the next time.
