@gamingonlinux Iโ€™d never use the programming language โ€žLinuxโ€œ. Iโ€™ve read that โ€žhtmlโ€œ is a great language. ๐Ÿคฃ

@gamingonlinux now you know, that articles about things you have no knowledge about shoud be taken with a grain of salt, not blindly trusted.

@gamingonlinux
Linux itself was written in linux. Even before the invention of linux.

@gamingonlinux Not quite clear what Michael Pachter does for a living? A security specialist? Interesting choice to get insights on the Linux coding languageโ€ฆ. Linuxst? Linuxthon? L? Linux+++?

โฌ†๏ธ Extended image description #Alt4You:
One of the reasons porting games to Stadia was slow was Google's decision to program games in Linux instead of C++, the language used by Sony and Microsoft.
"If you wanted to make a game work on Google Stadia, you had to write it in Linux," says Pachter.
"Let's say it costs $5 million bucks. Why would you spend $5 million bucks writing a game for an audience of two people?"

@gamingonlinux And to think I believed Linux was a kernel coded in C++โ€ฆ But no, all this time it was a programation language! ๐Ÿคฃ

@gamingonlinux pachter time and time again proving heโ€™s a moron โ€ฆ and stocks are a joke

Bad News Nobody

@gamingonlinux Is this what ChatGPT journalism looks like?

@gamingonlinux Did a little research on "Ed Fries, Former Head of Microsoft Studios". Apparently he joined Microsoft right out of university and spent 18 years there. According to Wikipedia his "notable work" is Halo 2600, an Atari 2600 game inspired by Halo and released in 2010.

Don't get me wrong, that's a cool project, but it seems clear that his programming experience consists solely of Atari 2600, Microsoft, and Playstation.

@gamingonlinux They forget Linux program with sugar, spice, and everything nice.

@gamingonlinux I would personaly outcast that news "writer" to 1982 and make him/her program assembly for the rest of his/her life

@gamingonlinux As a computer programmer/game developer, this hurts me deeply.

@gamingonlinux Someone's brain just skipped a lot of tracks.

@gamingonlinux The article is so wrong. Microsoft is C#, not C++ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜…
