In Dutch there is a saying which translates to "a donkey doesn't hit themselves on the same stone twice", i.e. they don't make the same mistake twice. I guess the dems should start looking for a different mascot.

Well, not exactly... WINE is a compatibility layer for syscalls between the x86 Windows API and (among others) the x86 Linux API, quite similar to how DXVK translates from DirectX to Vulkan.

What proton does is combine utilities like Wine and DXVK into a user friendly bundle, along with contributing substantially to the projects it bundles to make them interoperate well.

This looks to me like they want to bundle another utility, which does fast emulation of x86 user code on an ARM Linux system. Another commentator mentioned they are using FEX for this, which looks to me to do the same core task as qemu-user, but more focused on x86 to ARM and generally user-friendlier. That emulator could then be used to run x86 Wine on ARM.

The way qemu-user and FEX emulate one ISA on another is actually very cool btw. They realise massive speed gains by intercepting syscalls and executing them directly, instead of emulating a whole x86 Linux system.

If you ask the supreme court, probably not.

Also, I don't think being remembered is the main point. It seems to me to be more about a violent release of frustration and getting back at the people who "wronged" them, usually combined with suicide by cop.

The problem with using the filibuster is that it only works when you know the other side doesn't have 67% in the senate. With both the democratic and republican parties being in the pocket of AIPAC, I suspect they could easily get the votes to break Bernie's filibuster.

Consultancy firms know where their bread is buttered. In cases like this one, they're not much more than professional yes-men in suits.

To combat this I think drivers, firmware, etc. should be acknowledged as being in the same category as spare parts, manuals, repair tools, etc. They are equally as vital to being able to repair your device, and therefore should be open sourced at the latest when a manufacturer pulls support. Of course I would prefer them to be open sourced immediately, but with how software IP works currently that seems like a pipe dream, especially for devices with very complex drivers, like GPU's.

And much before that it was rule-based machine learning, which was basically databases and fancy inference algorithms. So I guess "AI" has always meant "the most advanced computer science thing which looks kind of intelligent". It's only now that it looks intelligent enough to fool laypeople into thinking there actually is intelligence there.

For many people, including me, part of recovering from that abuse is accepting that you're significantly different compared to the average person. If you're ND and can't accept that, you might be masking and that can be really harmful.

That being said, there's still a difference between being called "different" or "weird", and if the latter is being hurled at you with malice by friends, they might not really be your friends...

IMO this should be the case for everything developed using public money, looking at you, pharmaceutical companies...

And they force you to use it if you want autosave, which is essential in a work environment given the stability of MS Office programs (or at least my ability to crash Excel).

Friendly FYI: Brave is based on Chromium, so under the hood it uses the same browser engine as Chrome. I can't recommend switching to Firefox enough, not only because it's a good and fully featured browser, but also because its existence is vital to keeping Google's power in check.
