You have a point if you're talking about Dems as a whole, but both Sanders and AOC have been pushing to stand up since the beginning. They are definitely not on the list of people sitting by the sidelines and letting it happen.
It's not known either way yet, but unless they offloaded it to a separate firmware like Nvidia or Intel, it's not possible for them to do in Linux due to HDMI patents. The way the other vendors avoided this is to use a separate component that does everything internally, so none of the code is in the drivers. AMD doesn't do that historically, and thus can only support such features with closed source drivers/OS.
Sure, but if they are fired with cause they probably lose some benefits. Just because they can't bring themselves to do Trump's bidding doesn't mean they're willing to lose their pension or something.
NTsync won't change much for performance compared to Nobara with Proton. Proton has used esync and fsync for many years now which provide similar performance, but with flaws that prevent them from being upstreamable to Wine. NTSync will allow upstream wine to match fsync performance and hopefully fix some bugs.
We are now at the point where lobbying looks like a moral option compared to this shit
