Lack of proper DCVS hinder the possibility of committers to publish early version of their work outside huge diff. Getting the code and submitting changes are a huge PITA. With the git/github/gitlab workflow, you can clone a proje

The problem is that BSD problem is not so much money, but manpower, on top of that the cathedral model does not really scale. Just from a technical standpoint, no BSD is using any modern DCVS, beside dragonfly.

Which is the correct way to handle, fast data path in the kernel, slow control path in userspace.

I worked for 5 years for a company taking from *BSD and not contributing much. Lately they started monetary donation, but no code.

I didn't say chisel , I said chisel set , ie. 3 or 4 chisel for $15, which once you factor Amazon's commission, import, is probably a $2 or $3 set from the Chinese factory.

On the other side, a $15 chisel set is essentially fungible as well.

These are just tools, the real problem is the complacent, worse... cooperating population.

Funny enough that the companies who built a lot of those tools are the first to censor & attempt to control the Internet.

Didn't seem to have been a problem in USSR (especially with a brainwashed population) and still isn't a problem in China, Venezuella & others dictatorship.

HEVC hardware encoding is not supported by "amdgpu" VAAPI libs (tested about 6 month ago with an RX560, did you get it working ?).

Only decode, there is no va-api support for AMF, say to get hardware HEVC encoding.

No multi-GPU support (at least 2 years ago, using the binary drivers), no AMF support on Linux, and couldn't get multi-display support on a split screen. AMD is fail for me...

As long as you don't have a funky setup, sure, but I've never been able to get AMD cards properly working for what I wanted to do (dual GPU setup, AMF on Linux, and multi-virtual monitors, ie 2 simultanious display on 1 monitor, o

I gave AMD a try with a couple different card, couldn't get them working properly. One was on a dual GPU setup, AMD failed, nvidia worked. Then I needed hardware accelerated HEVC encoding, bought a rv560, works great on windows, but AM

AMD cards for anything advanced are crap, they couldn't recogize one of my monitor (>2 monitor setup), and they're not playing fair with their AMF extension on Linux (works great on Windows though). Even on Windows, I cannot ge

You cannot put the collapse of Venezuela on US policies... The US didn't put Chavez / Maduro in power, and they didn't ask them to oppress their own people.

Quebec issue is really a NIMBY syndrome, they have no problem using gas/oil, but they have no problem 1) using Alberta's oil, and 2) getting boatload of (dirty) money from the equalization policy.

One could also argue that it's not just a problem of act, but also method. If you do not fit in the "mainstream" way to act, even if you reach the goal, you're gonna provoke the ire of the "righteous" ones. Hea
