Quoting: mr-victoryAre the dynamic state extensions useful for shader compilation or am I just making it up.

Yes they are useful in that the application doesn't have to create different sets of pipelines.

With Nvidia, basically every state is dynamic, which means applications can create a single pipeline early on and never have to recreate at draw time.

Quoting: ShabbyXYou'd think Liam would use a Linux-powered phone...

Depends how much of a masochist he is :whistle:

I have a Pinephone and as much as I love it, it's really hard work to use for actual basic phone calls.

p.s. I really need to use my Deck more!

I meant Android really, lol

I mean Apple _is_ pretty hostile to open things (like, I don't know, Vulkan?). It feels wrong to support them

Yeah, Apple is closed to the core, but Android is basically spyware so it all depends on what is more dear to you.

Personally, I've decided I don't need my phone to be an open device I can tinker with to my heart's content, I just need something that works and respects (mostly?) my privacy and that right now is Apple. It also helps their stuff is really high quality, looks excellent and gets updated for years and years.

Don't get me wrong, I see plenty that's awful in their ecosystem, but from my perspective it's the lesser weevil by far.

I'm definitely not interested in turning this into a whole Android vs Apple argument, so last comment and I promise I won't respond anymore:

Apple collects as much data as Google does, if not more.

And I agree, I don't like to be spied on, which is why I have Assistant, personalized ads etc turned off.

Dude, what else is the internet for? Do you expect us to go outside into the real world and deal with real issues when we could be arguing about how 'free' the SteamOS is? :P

Outside? Oh heavens no, have you seen the white fluff of doom that's been raining on us for months?

I meant going back to the _real_ stuff, like bashing windows, hacking code and using vim, you know?

Quoting: play0adWith regards to Render doc, you have to change some options in the config (to enable 3.3 GL by default it's set to 2.1) You'll probably see that we have some heavily unoptimized art assets. Also, the lack of instancing, the number of materials, and the great variety in assets.

I'll wait for the Vulkan renderer to look at that :)

I hope they do a good job, otherwise it's Linux's name they'll be dragging through the mud.

Quoting: rklI found a post on Reddit that got me further in the process on Linux. Basically, the controller's USB device doesn't have write access for your normal user

What were the group and permissions of the file originally? I suspect all you needed to do was to add your user to that group.

At least I saw this previously with serial ports and the dialout group.

Someone educate me, why should a leak like this bother Valve?
