Sadly yes. I've seen stupid situations where something trivial got blown up into "well fuck you I'm taking my ball and going home". No one wins, not the users, not the project or the people involved.
Things have improved on the desktop area IMO but there are still ways to go. Papercuts and refinements that matters for first impressions, for fuck sakes when I still have to worry about screen tearing fixes, or cursor sizes setting not staying put, voodoo shit that I can't figure out if it's systemDicks or something else that makes successfully booting into antergos a coin toss. All that shit still adds up.
It happens to more than just dilettantes unfortunately. I thought Remix OS had some potential. That's dead at least at the consumer level. Canonical is no longer pursuing Convergence, but tbh they should have realized it was halfbaked at best to begin with.
No matter how libre or open the sores are, if it doesn't have good out of the box experience joe and jane public will not give a shit.
>hardware advances >software becomes more retarded
Anything larger than 768p is a meme designed to sell ultra 3d televisions for super sportsball and hollywood movies, too bad weeaboos tacked on instead of pushing for a purpose built vector based file format, or better lossless encoding of japanimation television.
isn't that tcl/tk?
I remember being seriously hyped when autovectorizors for Flash started coming out, playing around with them myself I got some pretty amazing results even from 480p sources back then.
At least it wouldn't require any new formats or software to OCR manga into a better format like SVG or DjVu, it would just need some group to start doing it.
Ctards fear superior compiled languages because they're very insecure.
Why are they insecure user? Is it the type checking or the fixed-length variables or pointer, what?
That's the funniest insult to C, I've heard on this board so far.
As a CFag I appreciate short and efficient insults.

I would agree with you if you said that about specifically phone screens, but even with i3 as my wm, 768 is kinda cramped.
Hardware is getting more retarded too. Modern hardware gets more and more complicated and also gets harder and harder to program. Using raw hardware with no drivers was easier than using "abstract" APIs today. The Sound Blaster is easy to program in assembly.

Another problem is bad operating systems. PulseAudio has a lot of the features of an OS. Browsers are like operating systems.
