- dagmx 4y agoEdit: the user above changed the content of their post materially twice , with wildly different content each time. I’m not sure how to respond as a result since it’s hard to discuss in good faith. V1 of their comment simply asked what “metal” evokes in one’s mind. V2 then posted a link to the Metal page saying it lets you directly use your GPU hardware. V3 is now pointing out that metal feature support varies by hardware which I already called out, but they’re positing as a contradiction somehow. As such I’ve removed my reply because it makes no sense based on their frequent changes and left this one instead.
- rosywoozlechan 4y agoI corrected my comment as I realized I was mistaken? I didn't see that I had a reply, and I wasn't able to delete my comment. You must have replied instantly because this all happened within a couple of minutes of me originally writing the comment. I frequently update comments like this.
- dagmx 4y agoFair enough. It does show a 5 minute difference between the comments, so not instant but I recognize edits happen. It’s just that each of your edits were so wildly different. As for your latest update, I had already mentioned that in my comment as a caveat, though I hadn’t shared the link which is always great to have.
