One day we’ll have Switch 2 Devs working from somewhere like Russia so Nintendo can’t send Pinkertons to their front door to enforce the plumber’s demands

Nintendo’s legal argument is that the encryption that is reverse-engineered to circumvent copy-protection is protected intellectual property.

Anyone can copy the contents of a switch ROM (more of a glorified SD card anyway) but the million-dollar question is whether their proprietary encryption can be broken legally.

how is that working out for ya bibi

he followed through on that, but only because Xbox gave up and ported their slop over to Steam anyway

You genuinely might need to touch grass.

What are those “less than far left” opinions then? Because I’m sure if anyone were to prod you more than a little you’d be very happy to clarify what opinions make you such a pariah to Lemmy users.

If you miss being coddled to like Reddit, then go back there.

not even sure distro tube has this many lmao

side note, it’s badass to see a gpl3 licensed game on steam, and a paid one at that!

that makes sense lol, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in a video game store

did ubisoft make face masks or something wtf happened in 2020

I’m a flutter dev, and I’ve seen testimonies from a former Windows 98 dev about limiting the number of redraws in the shell.

There’s deffo extra overhead, but it’s not linear - 4k being 4 times as many pixels as 1080p doesn’t mean 4k the work to render after the first frame, as the browser/framework will cache certain layout elements.

The initial layout is still expensive, though, so big tables will take longer, but that big table at high Res will probably be less chuggy when scrolling once loaded.

np! o7

I guess it’s more niche.

Sure SUSE may not “need” a fork, but most forks of Debian and Ubuntu aren’t changing much beyond a few superficial settings - If you need your “own” distro you’re more likely to pick the bigger distros to fork and slap your own badge on á la TuxedoOS, PopOS, GnomeOS, KDE-Neon, etc.

rarbg mirrors are simply rehosting the database. You were even able to download and self host it for a while. Not sure if the tracker is able to accept new torrents though, I’m not really knowledgeable on how trackers work

yeah figma is GPU accelerated for all the vector graphics it handles

Figma is great for designers, there are sadly very few applications that support collaborative UI-UX design. We badly need a FOSS alternative!

Some distros allow this. Nix for example allows you to save config files that describe your entire system (apps, settings, etc) and then load them in one go. Other distros are following suit with their own tailored solutions too (I think Ubuntu might have something? Manjaro?).

That might save a bit of power, but your dedicated GPU is usually in an idle/powered down state until your compositor gives it specific applications to accelerate. for Nvidia laptops this is what the PRIME/Optimus feature does.

Your GPU doesn’t need to re-render your entire screen every frame. Your compositor will only send regions of the screen that change for rendering, and most application stacks are very efficient with laying out elements to limit the work needed.

At higher resolutions those regions will obviously be larger, but they’ll still take up roughly the same % of the screen space.
