Which one? I compiled Qt and KDE with -O3 for years....

[carewolf]

Ah thanks. Good to know. I assumed they had all been region locked or taken down the same way....

[carewolf]

Do you have Thunderbolt3 displays? I only thought one existed. If not you are just using DisplayPort which USB-C already fully supports without help from...

[carewolf]

There shouldn't be anything unstable or unsafe in -O3, that is reserved to individual flags and -Ofast. O3 should just increase binary size and compile...

[carewolf]

Yeah, copyright blocked.

Also obligatory: Video from an audio conference, what is next? Audio from a video conference?

[carewolf]

-O3 is not guaranteed to be better than -O2, anything that is universally better gets moved to -O2. The problem with -O3 is that it increases binary size,...

[carewolf]

Well, it remains an issue. Except it doesn't matter so much on Linux anymore because you have to pay for the intel compiler, and no one appears to do...

It is a bigger problem on Windows where icc is used by many games and benchmarks....

[carewolf]

Well, to test icc, you need to test both baseline performance, and performance after removing the Intel specific runtime checks that reduce it to worst-case...

Given Thunderbolt devices are rare underperforming overpriced mythical beings, it is probably safer to just disable Thunderbolt completely than trusting...

[carewolf]

Well, and a proper 256bit-wide AVX unit. I am guessing that is also a pain point for games that are likely to try to use any vectorization they can g...

[carewolf]

Nah, make -j32 ...

[carewolf]

We are the BLORP resistence if futile!

[carewolf]

Just take my money will you!

[carewolf]

Okay. I tried with Qt that does support color bitmap fonts, but still ran into issues with black and white emojies. Turned out I had the wrong font. Also...

[carewolf]

You have to take the right one. Microsoft has both a monochrome and color version of the font. On non-Windows 10 it was only monochrome, and I think they...

[carewolf]

What LOAD_TARGET_LCD is now a variant of LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT? But LOAD_TARGET_LCD is what we use for full hinting.. So now full hinting in some applications...

[carewolf]

Kauth can't escalate to root on its own, it requires something with setuid....

[carewolf]

What are the conditions for it being an issue?

The root escalation required another bug exploit as far as I understood, so I assume the worst...

[carewolf]

For KDE5 that was because KDE decided to rewrite everything. It would have been a very simple transition if it hadn't also become the transition to frameworks...
