A helpful exercise is to consider the work that a compositor actually does and then try implementing a simple CPU-based one. The main operation you'll need is a blit - which you'll find somewhat difficult to optimize. Hardware-acc

The parent comment did not bring up their gender. They simply corrected the poster who erroneously thought they were a man. This was an error, and we should hold ourselves to a standard that corrects mistakes. If anyone "brought up the

You're perfectly allowed to use "they" since you weren't sure. It's not nice to assume "he" to always be the default - that is what was being corrected. One did not have to know that "she" was co
