Noone is mad that they're producing a mobile game. It's the way they presented it that was disappointing, and the way they handled feedback that makes people angry. Can you imagine being at a Apple/Node/Linux/Micros

Do yourself a favor and check out https://lutris.net/games/world-of-warcraft/ Lutris is excellent for getting many games up and running, and WoW runs much better with dx11+dxvk than wine-d3d9.

You're absolutely correct, I just took the tweet at face value, and did not bother to investigate the tweet, or any followups, at all. I still haven't, and simply accept your statement that it's a joke, stated in irony. I do

It's relevant because this wave of CoC attacks on open source projects was started by someone who has literally said "I can’t wait for the mass exodus from Linux now that it’s been infiltrated by SJWs."[1], in reference to th

Just for posterity and fun, I'll post this quick and hacky lua script I wrote to do the job for me some time ago. https://gist.github.com/folknor/4d7da1168497eae5eaf404f20c98... It requires a few lua modules and C

Why I came here can be explained easily by some of the principles of stoicism, is what I wanted to point out. I'm not sure why I've been downvoted for simply explaining one of the reasons why I joined HN. Perhaps that means the pe

I can only speak for myself, of course, and my primary motivation for ditching places like Slashdot (among others) in favor of HN was to get away from the blatant, fervent, and persistent editorializing of their staff (which is a new phenom

There's not enough details here to give a fair analysis, or useful response, I think. Seems to me that you assume a few things; (1) that the CEO is not insanely busy, (2) that they hung up on you a few times, when it could be any numbe
