I'd prefer some progress on switching to Vulkan/WSI.

[shmerl]

Cool! Will we see AV1 acceleration in RDNA 2 cards?

[shmerl]

From what I gather, those reasons (like various implicit behavior) don't apply to Rust, which aims to be more explicit....

[shmerl]

Great idea.

[shmerl]

This is dead on arrival since it's not royalty free like any modern codec should be.

[shmerl]

Patent encumbered junk as usual.

[shmerl]

When will Debian testing update Plasma already? It's been stuck forever.

[shmerl]

What is even the point of running CUDA in a virtual machine? I wouldn't even ask the question of what's the point of using CUDA in the first place

[shmerl]

Seriously? That's very annoying. I'd need to run a web server to manage VMs now instead of a normal UI??? I hope someone will still develop it. Very not...

[shmerl]

Consistency comes from agreeing on approach. Where is that protocol extension they were talking about that was needed for it?...

[shmerl]

There wasn't one way to do it, so either they all agree how to do it in consistent manner, or it will be over all the place in each implementation....

[shmerl]

So is the adaptive sync support used in Sway the agreed approach for other compositors too?

[shmerl]

Navi 10 is supported in aco just fine....

[shmerl]

Nope, they have no future on the desktop. They want to dummify everything to become like their mobile koolaid. Good riddance I'd say. There is no reason...

[shmerl]

Apple are masters of shooting themselves in the foot, not masters of keynotes. This move will basically drive any remaining macOS users away from it....

[shmerl]

Good riddance. This will increase the number of macOS refugees to Linux. macOS was already half dead. Now it will be completely dead.

[shmerl]

Nothing is necessary, Stadia itself probably isn't. It's about some options with better features (like radv/aco having better performance)....

[shmerl]

I said above why....

[shmerl]

They said they are using the open source driver, so why would the use closed source backend?...

[shmerl]

Do you think someone like Google might start using radv/aco for Stadia? I know they are using amdvlk/llvm now, but I wonder what they'll do if aco will...
