Quoting: TheRiddickDoes Blender use vulkan now?

... work is already in progress to make the switch.

now i have mixed feelings, i dont have many hopes for projects like upbge, on the other hand, eevee made blender have an good performance for real time applications and it can get even better with vulkan

Quoting: CatKillerI'm just hoping that people that use open source software will come to a wider realisation that, "the more you share, the more your bowl will be plentiful," rather than only funding the same projects.

that is the issue i'm trying to solve with my previous comment.
we that know the value of open source, should fund the growth of some projects until they become self sustainable.

its pointless to fund after that point.

What do you think to all these companies announcing their support on Blender over the last year or two? Pretty amazing to see so many companies seemingly just wake up to how important open source is.

I'd like to see other projects being the target of that mutually-beneficial PR boost as well. Yes, content creation is a fundamental aspect of lots of industries, so it's appropriate that Blender get funding from the people that benefit from it, but they aren't the only one. I expect Gimp or Godot could do with a shot in the arm, too, as well as infrastructure things like OpenSSL.

i think we (the open source comunity) should focus on donating to small projects until they get big enought that big corporations start to donating for then...
then, when those projects can survive without donations because companies are already donating enought for then, we move away our funds to another small project that desperatedly need help.

gimp, blender, goodot wont die any time soon, they are already sucessfull enough.
i cant say the same about (for instance) make human...

and by the time we get dlss, they will have made another tech that we dont have too. :sad:

Quoting: WildCoderWhy chrome only? I would much rather they let Firefox work instead of having to spoof my user-agent string.

one of 3 reasons.
1)the Q/A is hard and since chrome is the most used browser, and every other browser (except firefox) is based on chromium, they are starting by that.
2)firefox dont support their video encoding formats...
3)some money exchanging hands

There is also the issue of automated browser testing being Chrome-first. Firefox is usually an afterthought, and although it works well in older systems, like Selenium, some newer ones don't support it.

those tests are based on dom elements? because if they are, i dont think they will work with game streaming

Quoting: elmapul"Aside from these enhanced versions for Gen 9, we recently brought Metro Exodus to more players through Amazon’s ‘Luna’ streaming service; and we’re also working on dedicated Linux* and Mac versions of the game. "

Stadia runs linux, maybe it will be avaliable for stadia but not for desktop? but i doubt it, they would say stadia instead...
wich is strange, why not relase for both?

anyway, this gen 9 thing is an issue, what if we receive the current pc/ps4/xbox one version, while ps5 and xbox series receive an enhanced version?

It is already on Stadia since yonks ago, plus we have been seeing them upload files to their Steam repo.

oh, i'm blind, i dont know the full list of games since its not avaliable at my country
