I kind of had the opposite experience. I used to rely mostly on printfs and etc. but started using debugger more. printf doesn't improve going up and down the call stacks in the debugger to analyze their chain (you'd have to spam

Yeah, I don't really get why Kent wouldn't find people to handle upstreaming process that will satisfy Linus if he can't handle it himself. It would solve the problem and avoid all this collaboration friction. If there is a n

Some collaboration failing there, no technical reasons for it. I hope they'll sort this nonsense out and it will go back to normal upstream maintenance.

So what does it mean exactly, they merged a bunch of teams?

Exactly. Unlike income tax, tariffs don't depend on income.

It's not about so what, it's about how many are brainwashed not to understand the obvious thinking they'll get tax reductions, while they are getting tax increases in practice. Same ones elected these people in the first plac

Sneaky in the sense that it was sold to the masses as not being being a tax on them, while it very practically is. You'd think this is obvious, but you'd think people wouldn't vote for such ones either in the first place.

It ends up working like the sales tax. Officially it's the seller who is obligated to pay it, but it's the buyer who ends up paying it anyway.

Tariffs are essentially just a sneaky way to tax the consumer who ends up paying for this.

Lenovo laptops have good trackpad support on Linux.

Yes, give desktop Linux a try if you are still not using it. There is a good progress with the likes of Lenovo (who for decades refused to refund Windows tax) selling computers with Linux pre-installed. If you want gaming on Linux, get an A

Depends on what you need, but it's totally worth it if you want to spend less time say on compiling stuff. Video processing, compression, games and etc. Anything computationally heavy directly benefits from it.

Probably not just paid, but constantly keep paying for preferential treatment.

TL;DR: Malware level / kernel invasive anti cheats idea that relies on some opaque anti-user blobs is conceptually incompatible with Linux and open source in general. Proponents of such junk can get lost with their fake justifications

I'm not using it yet, I'm using SRT for LAN streaming, and it was hard to reduce latency. I managed to bring it down to just a bit below 1 second, but supposedly WHIP can help to make it very low which would be neat.

Nice! Looking forward to try WHIP/WebRTC based streaming to replace SRT.

I was recently looking for something that at least presents a nice diff that resembles code review one in neovim. This is a pretty cool tool for it: https://github.com/sindrets/diffview.nvim On the branch that you are

For example wine-staging (ran by Wine developers themselves) hosts patches for Wine project and they revise / rebase them with each Wine version, which is often not a trivial task. I don't see how you can avoid that really. But Wi

I'm glad services like Bandcamp sell DRM-free music in FLAC. I don't really care how many steps it should have been, I want my music DRM-free.

No, they care about telling gamers what they should do, not about enabling gamers what they want to play. That's very much not the same thing. That's a general thing with Apple - they act as if they know better than the user what

In the end Apple doesn't care about what anyone but Apple needs. So who knows, they might kill Metal tomorrow because they'll think their new NIH will serve their lock-in needs better (especially after Vulkan on Metal will get bet

Apple aren't some resource lacking entity. They can support Vulkan properly and there is no excuse not to.

by shmerl 1y ago
Apple doesn't care about gamers, so gamers shouldn't care about Apple.

by shmerl 1y ago
People jumping through hoops with smart tricks, because Apple are too stuck up to support Vulkan natively.
