I don't think it's right to say that the compensation makes things feel instantaneous, but rather that we are able to still feel the association between input and result, allowing for coordinated feedback loops to be maintained. W

"Manually"? There is only QEMU/KVM, how many layers you put in between does not matter. Proxmox is just a pile of perl scripts doing the same. My experience is in testing both USB downstream devices and PCIe devices developed

Eh? QEMU USB passthrough is true USB passthrough. The problems with USB passthrough stem from issues related to USB controllers themselves and how device enumeration works, with the only better solution being PCIe passthrough of entire USB

This is unrelated to that post - vaxry and wlroots was to my knowledge cooperating quite well before vaxry got banned from freedesktop (where wlroots is hosted) for breaking code of conduct and handling it in a very bad way.

Depends. Established, well-behaved food delivery apps have agreements with the restaurants and have direct integration - not scraping. They take absurd margins, but that's a separate issue. When the food delivery apps "scrape"

Sure, but that's what you want, not what booking.com wants. Booking.com wants to charge you for the service, and if they're not part of the transaction they'd have to get money out-of-band, e.g. as a subscription for the pr

Most of that (e.g., keyring) is PAM, not the manager itself. The xinitrc thing is for all intents and purposes just a command run before your session binary, and sometimes a few extra env vars. Arguably a bad design (just let that be up to
