Quoting: Lofty

Quoting: ShabbyXMy question is why HDMI is being such an ass?

you asked the wrong question. The question is when is it Not being an ass.

No I'm serious, what benefit does HDMI get from disallowing Linux supporting it?

Do they want a member fee or something? If Valve wants this, paying for that on behalf of Linux seems like such an easy thing, I couldn't believe that would be it.

Quoting: razzeIMO mikes take on https://www.supergoodcode.com/unpopular-opinion/ [External Link] is at least something to consider

Bear in mind that half of Mike's beef is usage in Zink. Being an opengl driver forces you to implement things most apps will never have to.

It's not like managing descriptor sets is easy :/ But he does have a point that we need more of these API shattering extensions to make the rest of Vulkan more coherent with heaps.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy. . . There are things that still use OpenGL?

Lots? Outside the API translation layers, Vulkan is not popular at all. It's orders of magnitude harder to use than OpenGL.

There is not escaping minecraft, it's all the kids talk about. That and the cursed roblox.

Thanks to Launti and the Voxelibre team, my kid can get his minecraft fix without any interactions with microsoft.

Or maybe this is all misinterpretation? It could be official as in "gpd officially supports it", not the other way around. "The bazzite team" could be a team inside gpd that is working to make bazzite work.

I don't know, haven't checked, and am not interested in gpd. Just saying, don't jump to conclusions.

Say this fine is paid, where does the money go? I highly doubt to the consumers the suit claims to protect. Does it go to the UK government? To the people filing the suit (in which case, why do they deserve this money?)?

I have this idea of making a game about fighting computer viruses, and the difficulty settings are Linux and Windows, and then the Linux difficulty doesn't have any enemies 😁

I don't want to simply say that I liked or didn't like a game, because I don't feel that is truly helpful.

It *is*. In reality, comments like "great game" and "it sucked" don't get shown as top reviews, but the 👍 or 👎 you give counts, as well as the fact that people have actually voted.

If you see a game with 50000 reviews at 98% 👍, that's a well made game. If people didn't review because they don't have something comprehensive to write, that same game would get 30 reviews, and the 👍 rate would give you no statistically significant information.

So please, leave a simple review just to give the valuable positive/negative binary feedback.
