I got exposure to Lua with Cyberpunk 2077 mods and neovim plugins. Some stuff is indeed strange (like array indexes starting from 1 by default), but overall it's easy to use. Not sure I'd want to use it for something big though.

You mean many don't want to spend time bisecting and building the kernel with proposed fixes to test if they work? If the bug really bugs them, they'll probably overcome the reluctance to do the above. Not sure if it's many,

They could focus on battery technology more for sure and much sooner than they did. Demand didn't drive it until much later primarily because they thought that combustion engine is good enough. First electric cars existed already in 19

Steam should have been replaced with electric engines right away, bypassing whole combustion engine age.

Those who care about preservation and community development do. Others don't care or their bosses don't even understand the idea and don't let them. They might think spending on lawyers to ensure opening the code up is handle

I must be missing some idea used there. Why does scripting need emulation of hardware?

For listing branches, git branch -vv gives some more info.

There is kmscon, but yeah - it seems to be stalled and abandoned. I tried it and it sort of works, but feels buggy in some ways, so it needs work. That seems to have most promising potential if anyone could actually develop it.

> Use “true” RGB colours; this is supported on almost all current terminal emulators, unless explicitly disabled by the user. It would be nice for Linux built-in framebuffer tty to support true color. I wonder why it doesn't yet.

Yep, looking forward to that one!

Well, if you don't get how DRM is incompatible with privacy, it's not going to be a productive discussion.

Above was about people who care about privacy though. It's not that surprising, but most people don't care about it to the degree that would make them use OSes that respect it. People who actually care tend to use Linux since they

Apple is a heavily lock-in oriented company with ulterior motives and macOS is filled with DRM to boot. That's poorly compatible with the concept or privacy by definition.
915.
by shmerl 2y ago
Nah, why would you trust Apple - they see you as a product they want to lock-in.
916.
by shmerl 2y ago
Yes, as a desktop operating system. Nothing else respects privacy really that would require less time. Or may be you have a suggestion?

by shmerl 2y ago
Privacy oriented users are already using Linux.

Trying to milk the AI for profit sounds like a huge suspect in regards to ever trusting it.

Artificial consciousness is a better term for what's often called AI in science fiction.

They don't need CUDA for video encoding? For video they can rely on VAAPI or Vulkan video (the latter might be behind on AV1 encoding options though) which can work on any GPU with video acceleration hardware.

by shmerl 2y ago
Being exclusive to Nvidia GPUs doesn't sound like a good idea. What makes it rely on CUDA anyway? It's cool that it's using Wine though. From these cloud services like Amazon's Luna or Geforce Now, none are running Linux

Looking forward to someone making an OpenGL extension to support running 32-bit programs in Wine that need translation to OpenGL with new Wow64 (i.e. without 32-bit runtime). Right now it has bad performance.

Indeed, AMD willing to open firmware is something Nvidia never has done.

You can't do it slowly, when they are actively attacking. Besides, their nuclear bluff got old and finally (as it should have been from the start) less and less allies pay attention to it. As Macron responded to that - France also has

Haven't tracked trade offs recently, but I always use Opus when I save audio from Youtube since it's the best codec option there.

Why not Opus.

Looks cool, but scroll wheel isn't doing anything.

There was some comment about it. Basically, it's for security reasons. Those who aren't using those features wouldn't expect them to appear (especially sneakily). And those who are planning to use them will figure out what pa
