Unfortunately the industry I am in (multimedia) is slowly getting invaded by all the awful embedded development practices, binary blobs, custom forks, hacks galore. It's ruining an area where there was clean code, no blobs.
Also Linus' ARM rant for good measure: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/15/133 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/15/133
And imagine the stuff they didn't upstream...I'm sure that's part of some magic SDK that only works on one version of glibc and kernel.
- MrBuddyCasino 3y agowhat is the „multimedia“ industry, and does it run along the data highway?
- joezydeco 3y agoI think it involves CD-ROMs
- aidenn0 3y agoI remember people hacking on the binary of the MS mpeg4 encoder to create "DivX" binary blobs are everywhere (though much less so in every industry than they were 30 years ago)
