Winamp Legacy player source code is now open
Article, Comments
The source code is available but you cannot use it freely. In other words, it is not open source software. The license it uses sucks.
UDENIX
Now port it to ReactOS
Patches cannot be applied to this software to make it work on ReactOS because the license prohibits the distribution of modified or unmodified versions of Winamp outside the official repository. You would have to try to get the patches applied in the official repository. I personally would not contribute to a project like this, the only thing the company behind it wants is free labor.

Wtf, the most useless source release ever
Eris
they leaked a commercial version of Qt
Chungy
well, sort of.... the EULA version of Qt is the same as the GPL one for all practical purposes. But they'd be violating the license under either model.
Chungy
kind of hard to leak something that's fundamentally open source. :P
Chungy
and super trivial to get a trial of the EULA version
UDENIX

No, it is simple, if they have purchased a commercial license they can use QT in proprietary software, non-free software can have its source code available, this is the case, for example, of Vivaldi.

Hello everybody.
Someone know what was the first operating system for IBM PC or clone that support process management and virtual memory management?
1) preferably that works on Intel 286, but if it came first for i386, that will be welcome too.
2) this is not obvious, but virtual memory is not strictly swap, and swap is optional in virtual memory management.
Camarada Gato
286 has hw limitations
From what I understand, the Intel 286 support memory protection and had interrupt controllers, which are at least 2 of the essential things to run a modern operating system with support for virtual memory management and process management.
Its main limitation is the 24-bit physical address, which supports up to 16 MB of RAM.
Mike
Also the problem in switching from protected to real mode and vice versa, one of the 2 requires a reboot
Camarada Gato

Modern operating systems don't need real mode, as far as I know.
Camarada Gato
One of the things I understand is that if an operating system has virtual memory management, that automatically implies that it requires protected mode.
Chungy
good question. I'd split guesses between OS/2 and Xenix

Maybe OS/2 is dead, because OS/2 is Win NT. (i don't know if it is true)
João Paulo
Chungy
NT began as a replacement kernel for OS/2 and evolve it, effectively what could have been Microsoft OS/2 2.0
Chungy
IBM and Microsoft got in a fight, Microsoft took their toys home
NT evolved, most of the OS/2 1.x apps were ports of Windows apps anyway, so it just became Windows NT afterward.
Mike
dumb question: why is gcc-lin nightly much bigger than msvc build, both x86? edit: ofc last nightlies

The binaries under GCC are always bigger than the MSVC.

oh i see, i thought something was missing in the msvc version😶

They kept compat with OS/2 apps tho, right?
I remember that XP had a Watson32.exe or something similar (Dr. Watson)
Chungy
removed in Windows 2000

I've seen him. I had with Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP installed and there was still Dr Watson and it was removed from Windows Vista and replaced by the app called Debug Tools Windows 🤔🧐

Referring more to the OS/2 subsystem. NT 3.1-4.0 had OS/2 1.x support, by default only text applications (but you could install Presentation Manager and get OS/2 1.x GUI support too). That was gone in Windows 2000

Windows 2000 has this too; you can install the Windows NT Add-On for Presentation Manager but it will be glitchy. Use the NT 4 version, not the NT 3.51 one.

Can this be useful?

It's amazing how much power is thrown away with bloated software.
It's not just the visual effects, which is nice, but the layers and layers of sandbox security over every Windows Store App, even the classic ones packaged to be installed from the store (as LibreOffice is).

Security is good, but Store apps are noticeable slower than their counterparts downloaded outside it.

Usually alternative players work better in such a case.

Yep. It is. Some formats works nice, and some others won't.

If it has critical mass, it will become outdated in relation to the original or diverge, even with the original kernel, there are many areas lacking, where corporations do not touch, besides github is not the best option. It is a herculean task, without a large team!

I would like a real explanation on that. It's it fear of inducing bugs in the kernel?
Daniel "TheReimi"
I had this opinion for ages now. Linus is a 100% genuine asshole. He always was and always will be. If you are not able to discuss in a polite manner, you are not worth the effort at all. I say he is the asshole here as he clearly is not able to lead a project of such size with tantrums. Especially it's no good idea to shut up critical voices by calling them russian infested!

It's a cowardly move, nothing more nor less.
