xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code7·8 months agoAbsolute madness. I cringe at the thought of making modern x86 asm code.
Great work!
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Games@sh.itjust.works•Apex Legends will not support Linux and Linux-based Steam Decks anymore because of cheatingEnglish1·8 months agoAnti cheat is like DRM. It’s a waiting game more than it is about actual direct protection.
Wait, what? Playstation?
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!English2·9 months agoI probably misremembered something then, 390xx it is then.
But whatever it may be it is in the AUR 100%.
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!English5·9 months agoIt’s very good.
Basically, there is one maintainer in the AUR (the name escapes me, jonathon I think it was?) who applies the necessary patches to the old NVIDIA drivers to make them run with a modern Linux kernel.
Of course, there won’t be any Wayland support, but the experience is acceptable as long as you temper your expectations in terms of graphics API support. (No vulkan sadly)
I hadn’t used it myself but I know a person who does and loves it. iGPU handles Wayland stuff while the NVIDIA is there for the heavy lifting in Xorg.
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!English3·9 months agoUnironically, the best bet for them is nvidia 540xx drivers on the AUR with an LTS kernel.

One day, it will happen with MR.

(I’m a NFS fan but also a fan of Black Box)
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I HATE THE ANDROID GRADLE PLUGIN I HATE THE ANDROID GRADLE PLUGIN I HATE THE ANDROID GRADLE PLUGIN I HATE THE ANDROID GRADLE PLUGIN I HATE THE ANDROID GRADLE PLUGIN I HATE THE ANDROID GRADLE PLUGIN...24·10 months agoOh you mean Android Studio automagically “updating” your versions so that your build breaks and you spent 3 hours figuring out what just happened without you even touching anything?
C++ is at least backwards compatible (for 99% of code anyway, yes I know about some features being removed, but that’s an exception and not the rule).
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Rust in Linux lead retires rather than deal with more “nontechnical nonsense”698·10 months agoIt’s just their ego showing through.
It basically now comes down to the current devs depending on new Rust devs for anything that interacts with Rust code.
They could just work together with Rust devs to solve any issues (API for example).
But their ego doesn’t allow for it. They want to do everything by themselves because that’s how it always was (up until now).
Sure, you could say it’s more efficient to work on things alone for some people, and I’d agree here, but realistically that’s not going to matter because the most interactivity that exists (at the moment) between Rust and C in Linux is… the API. Something that they touch up on once in a while. Once it’s solid enough, they don’t have to touch it anymore at all.
This is a completely new challenge that the Linux devs are facing now after a new language has been introduced. It was tried before, but now it’s been approved. The only person they should be mad at is Linus, not the Rust devs.
xan1242@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Zen Browser - A very nice, Firefox-based, clean UI browserEnglish26·10 months agoYeah enabling remote debugging because the dev thought it made it easier is a pretty big oof.
But this is just strike one. It’s a one man show, after all, so cutting them some slack is warranted when it comes to this specific topic.
Nevertheless, your concerns aren’t unfounded. This project needs more contributors to be able to keep up. (Thorium is basically in the same boat)
Trucy would be trying her hardest to get him to buy this

I’m surprised nobody thought of the demoscene twisters
Ez just nuke processes from the kernel debugger /s
But, real talk, the only comparable thing would be the emergency restart option (go to ctrl+alt+del screen, hold ctrl as you click on the shutdown button)
