Why should a conference be held somewhere where people will be excluded by virtue of their existence?

It's foolishness to believe that politics has no place in daily life when there are people who will make others' entire existences political. It's not a "gambit" if it's patently true.

It's not, Google's encoding targets bitrate, not quality. If you upload incompressible content, all you get is forcibly compressed artifacts. Makes no difference to them if it's random noise or a high-effort video essay.

Just under that it says > A different ID doesn't always mean the detection will occur. So that definitely seems to be the case according to everything except the "NO"

You could apply that reasoning to any random claim regardless of veracity.

To be, frankly, more fair than they deserve, with CUDA they don't have to worry about anyone else. It's their API, they just have to maintain it themselves. When supporting X or Wayland they have to play nice and integrate with ot

Unfortunately not. Darling [0] is still at the point that it can only run command line applications. Only the most basic GUI applications are supported. That's still a massive accomplishment that I don't want to diminish, but it&#

AI isn't going to let the little guy into mass media. It's just going to let the mass media cut out the costly human element.

As I said, I have not found any exceptions to the rule that PFAS are toxic. It's silly to say "hey, not all water is wet" when all the water seen to date has been. You've mentioned one member of the group so far and it&#

X11 doesn't do it. I did it. X11 would be tearing til the cows come home if I didn't intervene. I'm glad MPV is well-behaved but not nearly every application is. I can't get smooth motion in many applications on my machi

Teflon is. Just because it has uses doesn't mean it's not harmful. And PFAS, as a group , are harmful. To date I have not found anything stating otherwise.

Evidently it gets your conferences canceled, although you do have close to three years to milk that for all its worth before you blacklist yourself from everywhere.

For some background on the setting, you can check out this thread [0]. My system rarely reboots and I'm the only user, so I just set this manually every single boot by popping open nvidia-settings, going to the X Screen settings, click

Weird take. Windows and macOS both let you do things Wayland doesn't currently have widely adopted protocols for. Only thing Xorg can do that any of the others can't is let a client application manage windows, and it's only m

Even if you render with whatever you please, software, OpenGL, Vulkan, you have to communicate with Xorg to slap it on the screen, and that'll result in tearing. On my Nvidia machine, the only escape from tearing is manually enabling t

AMD and Intel are competitive in gaming. Where Nvidia excels is other types of acceleration. AMD and Intel can't hold a candle to Nvidia when it comes the raytracing renderers used in every 3D and CGI workflow, for example.

And I simply disagree with the statement "PFAS can be used for both good and evil, don't blame the tool for its use." The tool is dangerous and needs to be used with care. And right now it's not being used with care, and

Sure, there's some hypothetical world out there in the multiverse where it's not true. We live in this one, though, where they were used flippantly despite knowing the risks and where the genie is out of the bottle. PFAS are every

Silly analogy. PFAS are a toxic but useful tool. Programming languages are a useful tool that can be used for good and evil. Every use of PFAS carries its toxicity.

This is the story the Wayland developers, including KP, are telling you. This isn't an ideological war, this is software history.

It's as the other commenter says. This is just a story you told yourself to justify your opinion after the fact. X11 is ancient and its sprawling patchwork codebase shows it.
