zurohkito Programming@programming.dev•Can somebody explain the graphics stack? Vulkan, OpenGL, Magma, DirectX, SDL, Metal, Mesa, ... wat?English31·4 days agoVulkan was the successor to AMD’s Mantle API from 2013, though. Metal wasn’t first.
zurohkito Programming@programming.dev•Can somebody explain the graphics stack? Vulkan, OpenGL, Magma, DirectX, SDL, Metal, Mesa, ... wat?English2·4 days agoThey do seem to alternate between making MacOS graphics worse and wondering why nobody’s making games for MacOS.
Management seem to think that desktop Mac has the same market share that iPhone does and keep wondering why throwing their weight around isn’t working.

With an AMD GPU on Linux, you’ve got your kernel
amdgpu
driver which talks to the hardware, loads firmware, etc.Sitting on top of that is Mesa, which provides an opengl and vulkan driver. Your application talks to the opengl driver which talks to the kernel driver which talks to the hardware.
Windows has it’s own graphics stack, which has video card drivers and DirectX drivers.
Metal is Apple’s proprietary Vulkan knock-off, which seems to exist to force game devs to write games that only run on MacOS. This hasn’t really worked.
Magma seems to be about inserting a layer between the kernel driver and Mesa, so you can use Mesa OpenGL drivers on top of Magma on Windows kernel drivers? That’s not really something most people are looking to do.
It doesn’t need to be secure, they fire anyone who removes someone else’s lock.

I think you’re supposed to socket materia into that.
He means alpha as in alpha versions of software. Unstable, buggy and not fit for the general public.
You can’t even assume those people are people. There’s a lot of bot powered disinformation out there.

zurohkito Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Man complains about the government forcing him to buy a new car so he and his wife can continue to do their 1km school run.English92·25 days agoOkay, that’s horrible, but in a country with around 1.5 billion people things can be both incredibly rare and happen every week.
zurohkito Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Man complains about the government forcing him to buy a new car so he and his wife can continue to do their 1km school run.English30·25 days agoThe thing with EVs is that they get cleaner over time as cheap solar and batteries become a bigger part of the grid and old coal plants age out.
If you buy a diesel today, it’ll still be burning diesel in 2045.

zurohkitoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Scholars maintain that this is his most accurate portraitEnglish53·28 days agoIt’s like that Turning Point guy, where the internet is littered with shrunken face photos to the point they’re inevitably going to leak into official records.
zurohkito Australian News•Electric vehicle myths: almost half of Australians wrongly believe EVs are more likely to catch fire, survey showsEnglish4·28 days agoYeah, but EVs don’t go fwoosh like a petrol car with a burst fuel tank in movies. You just… get out of the car and leave it to the fire fighters.
If you’re loading and unloading 20 times a day, you’re doing local delivery and should probably be in an electric truck in the first place.
You should probably know that ‘trolling is a art form’ is kind of a meme, because the statement itself has an obvious language error in it that people feel the need to correct.
