This comment made me realize the article itself was written by a woman, which kind of surprised me given the era.

It's weird how well this applies to various arguments I've seen on Reddit against Crytek regarding Hunt Showdown's recent issues.

Man, that's the kind of relationship I dream about... Though swap the climb for a hike because I'm deathly afraid of heights 😂

Yeah it would be great to get clarity on what exactly this means for Linux.

I think it might mean the shader cache for a DirectX Windows game can be used for a DXVK VKD3D Linux game (which might help with stuttering weirdness) but I'm unsure.

Just did a refresher per your request... We did not ever to my knowledge use civics tests. We used literacy tests and what made them particularly offensive was they had various exemptions for white people or simplified variants for white people.

I am very icy to the idea of tests in general due to the effects having a "test" to vote could have. However, having a very low bar test of some sort administered without exceptions ... it might make sense.

We don't let people drive whose eyes fail a safety test. Maybe we shouldn't let people vote if they don't even have a surface level understanding of what they're voting for.

I'm not saying do it, but maybe we shouldn't totally write it off because of some bad behavior without any safeguards to prevent bad behavior.

Deist is IIRC some number of gods probably existed and set the world into motion but do not play a role in day to day life.

"Please be the onion... Please be the onion... Oh thank god!"

Maybe, but also maybe not. A test that's targeted specifically at "do you understand how the government functions" is actually quite different from a lot of other tests and less likely to be subjective.

Like, if there was a question, what part of the government writes laws:

• Congress
• The President
• The Supreme Court

if you get that wrong, you probably shouldn't be voting.

The bigger issue is monetization. YouTube is popular in no small part because creators are trying to make money.

Calling RCS an industry standard is a bit... Questionable. Still, I'm happy to see Apple finally implementing it so there's a good cross vendor texting implementation.

Looks gorgeous!

I have had similar issues with Plex on my Nvidia shield. Changing the audio track often helps

I wonder how this scales to large voice rooms.

That's a laudable difference /s. Using Rust is also an "opt-in" option.

Maybe; it does sound like reducing the size of the driver is potentially possible as well https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-Headers-Repo-Idea

See my reply to funtrek's reply.

If a "safe C++" proposal truly proposes a safe subset, then yes your C++ code would have to opt-in to doing unsafe things. For the purposes of this discussion of a safe subset ... the point is moot.

Rust still allows people to do (basically) whatever they want via unsafe blocks.

Right; any solution they come up with presumably needs to be more scalable than "new drivers" and "old drivers". Eventually there will be too large a set of "old drivers" and we'll end up in the same situation with a small "new drivers" driver and a large "old drivers" blob.
