    Transphobes can fuck right off. The fact that a SINGLE person contributed this much says quite a lot about their own abilities, and whether they are trans or a woman is irrelevant.

    It always fascinates me how people can achieve such things, and acquire knowledge to do so in the first place. Meanwhile, last night I spent 1h troubleshooting jellyfin because my kid clicked a few things in a menu by mistake when I was away.

      Anyone who uses Jellyfin occasionally does some troubleshooting, don’t sell yourself short

      The answer is: They like tinkering. This is sort of people who get dopamine rush when solving it like some sort of ulta complex puzzle.

    Love that she did it, although I’m surprised they didn’t sue her for contempt of business model (i.e. Some copyright BS)

      If you mean Apple, it wouldn’t really make sense for them to do that. Apple primarily generates income from hardware sales, so they wouldn’t care if people run other software on the hardware they already bought.

      Edited to say: this doesn’t really apply for the iPhone/iPad as the application ecosystem is locked down. macOS isn’t though so users will do whatever they want anyway. There are even tiling window managers for macOS!

        They don’t lock down macOS but it still has an App Store where Apple makes 30% on sales

          Locked down is relative, while I use both I find the OS gets in my way a lot more on macOS than Linux.

        She was hired as a contractor by Valve to work on Linux graphics driver related stuff. Valve knows who the experts are. And yes her work is amazing.

    Did she just do this in her spare time or was this part of her job? It’s interesting just how people are able to accomplish this sort of things

    Hot take, but we, as a community should focus resources on improving hardware support for devices, manfacturers of which aren’t actively hostile to linux.

    Sadly, linux and open source is managed in capitalist way.

    lol i’m not against trans people btw. but you have to admit that the contributions to society from people of color are minimized compared to whites.

    like, who invented the nes?

    i don’t know their name but i know who steve jobs is. for some reason i know who elon musk is despite the fact that he contributed nothing of value to humanity whatsoever.

    what’s the name of that chinese women who scooped openAI by contributing to an opensource AI model? she came and went without much fanfare.

    but you’re creating a meme for a white woman who didn’t accomplish much as far as i can tell.

    name the person who created the first nes emulator or snes emulator?

    bet you can’t, even though the terrain was much rockier in those days.

      didn’t accomplish much

      wrote a reverse engineered GPU driver from scratch by herself

      Also, the first NES emulator was called NESticle. I have a feeling it wasn’t developed by a woman of color.

      EDIT: My bad. NESticle was the first well-known emulator. The first emulator was released in 1990 by Haruhisa Udagawa, for a computer called the FM Towns that was only released in Japan. No points for diversity when you’re in a country where you’re the majority race.
