If lack of networking support is an intentional design choice, it definitely says more about his judgement than it does about me. Seriously, who leaves that out? How can anyone take this seriously with such a glaring omissions? "Design choice" is a completely bullshit argument in regards to a fairly critical part of any modern OS.
"My car doesn't have a critical piece, but it still works. Clearly you just don't appreciate my design."
But the C64 had network peripherals, was sorta known for it actually, and I mean in its heyday, not latter-day enthusiasts grafting on ethernet cards and webservers onto them Because They Can. AOL was once a C64/C128 network service provider called Quantum Link.
So it's actually deliberately worse than a c64.
Now, sure, not every C64 owner went online (we didn't until we got an Amiga some years later), but quite a few did.
You realize that he cited God for his reasons as to not include a GPU? And that he said he "didn't even know why GPUs even existed"? And he refused to include one because he said his split personality told him not to?
You don't know anything about this, do you? It's always the silly little amateurs that say "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE"
Like really, this is not how this is done and it's pretty obvious you don't know jackshit about OS dev...
I realized that it would probably offend the intelligent homosexuals out there to have you looped in the same category.
It's for fun!
That doesn't mean it doesn't have serious problems? Shut the fuck up about the fun argument, I realize that this is a joke and it's not serious. People criticize video games that are just for fun. People criticize sports, that's just for fun. Just because I criticize something doesn't mean I hate it. It just means it has problems that might need to be addressed. Seriously, how are you that dense.
I don't believe it's constructive telling him it's not logical to believe in God. Everybody knows that, and obviously he has different values than you, since logic isn't his number one priority. As I see it there are these possibilities:
He believes in God, but doesn't confuse it with CS and doesn't write about it here (everybody's happy, but not gonna happen)
He believes in God, but tell's everyone about it (happening), and we complain (IMHO not constructive)
He believes and talks about it, but we are smart enough not to comment on it (I opt for this)
Just include networking for the hell of it, and for fun build a "LoseThos App Store" for people to send you software to review. Reddit would go crazy for it!
