  • I meant that in the video it’s consistently not worked for a very long time. Seems the switch to HDMI left it behind. While it would be nice if devices supported it like he asked, the fact it was skipped in the HDMI standard and not mandated by law means it’s unlikely devices racing too the bottom line will ever care. And that’s basically what we see. Only the most expensive devices even acknowledge it’s an issue.

    That said, I hope VLC devs see his video and improve things. I’m sure it’s more complicated then it seems but it would be cool for them to add that to the ways they’re better than every other player put there.









  • AMD’s been a better community member but like others said, even if Nvidia is more of a “pain” it’s generally easier than windows on most distros. They’ll detect and install it for you or it’s just a single package to install from the software library.

    Some free advice, If you’re worried about it stick with a mainstream distro. They’ll have tested releases more. it may seem counter intuitive but apply updates often, updates over multiple versions are more likely to have untested combinations of packages. If the drivers stop working, you’ll just not have acceleration, just uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

    Every other ci in existence you just write a command. Then if it doesn’t work you run the command on your machine and fix it.

    Actions are “magic” which means you have to fake the ci runner with tools and reverse engineer the action to run local debugging and if it failed you might not even fully know what was running with digging into the actions source.

    GitHub provides you the tools and their “easy” until they aren’t.

    It’s very Microsoft though. It feels like trying to write a Windows app and trying to get your random Net environment definition to line everything up and compile in VS then hoping the same thing happens when you deploy.



  • Technically it’s not browser tolerance but spec tolerance. It’s built into the html5 spec to tolerate different tags closing and other things invalid in xml.

    This was an important design that grew out of one of the largest failings of xhtml that such failures would make the entire page unrenderable.


  • This article is pretty terrible and I’m not a fan of Apple but honestly he’s taken a pretty measured approach and the fact that their product is garbage isn’t his fault so much as the hype train being off course.

    If anything people should be thankful he didn’t waste more money, but right now the measurement isn’t how successful your business is or how good your product is but how much money you flushed down the toilet chasing the dream of “AI”. Because this is a bubble not a revolution.



  • Firefox main problem with profitability relevance. They need more people to get people to use their tools

    So I just have two questions.

    1. How does this get new users?
    2. How does this help retention?

    The only answer is it doesn’t and we don’t care because we’re going to cash out.

    I’m not running away, I’ll still open Firefox tomorrow like yesterday because the browser landscape is terrible and the shadow of what Firefox was is still good.

    But I’m looking for the disruptor because as questionable as a lot of the new smaller browsers are, there are people out there trying and it’s going to happen.
