[10:25] <dejai> Hello.
[10:29] <jea> Good evening
[11:08] <dejai> How is it going?
[11:09] <jea> Alright thanks. Yourself?
[11:35] <dejai> Good, writing an ethernet driver for the imx6
[11:36] <dejai> With zero copy support for my thesis :/
[11:37] <dejai> Procrastinating with triplanar texturing (six textures) on large terrains.
[11:38] <dejai> Nvidia broke support of -lGL in ubuntu, workarounds available but still a tad annoying.
[11:40] <jea> That sounds like a lot of fun to deal with
[11:40] <dejai> -pthreads :P
[11:41] <dejai> Is this loco official again?
[11:42] <jea> Not quite. They changed the way the official status works, and we didn't go through the 'reapproval' (or whatever it is called now)
[11:43] <jea> We would like to be 'official', but we need a bit more activity to get there
[11:43] <dejai> Reminds me of that time I got in a flame war with Mark Shuttleworth about unity.
[11:44] <jea> That definitely seems worth doing
[11:45] <dejai> I at the time was talking with devs about it, and it was just pushed out the door and terribly coded.
[11:45] <dejai> Even now it to me is totally unusable.
[11:45] <dejai> But luckily it isn't as bad now, it is easier to get rid of.
[11:46] <jea> Well at least you can choose which DE you want to use fairly easily
[11:49] <dejai> I mean I generally just do it all through X.
[11:49] <dejai> That is probably the most disappointing thing about linux distributions.
[11:50] <dejai> They make their own conventions and you have to relearn things when you switch around
