>i don't think it has a huge impact on the discussion here. but this is such a key difference versus X, that i think is hugely under-told: Wayland compositors all rely on lots of kernel facilities to do the job, where-as X is basically it's own kernel, has origins where it effectively was the device driver for the gpu, talking to it over pci, and doing just about everything. when people contrast wayland versus X as wayland compositors needing to do so much, i can't help but chuckle, because it feels like the kernel does >50% of what X used to have to do itself; it's a much simpler world, using the kernel's built-in abstractions, rather than being multiple stacked layers of abstractions (kernels + X's own).
Are you an AI bot? Modern X11 server using DRM are more than 20 years old. You are talking about how X11 servers worked in the 90's
Yes exactly. DRM exists, but there's still what I called the X "kernel", all of it's heavyweight abstractions.
To the previous a-hole, frak you: not an AI. That's rude as frak. Also, you manage to be incredibly wrong. Even an AI wouldn't overlook such an obvious error; maybe it'd be better to have it replace you. So rude dude! Behave!
What's up with all the space waste, the search button is almost as big as the input box, so you can't fit a long query on a phone
(and the query box doesn't expand to fit more than one line)
A demake would be a reimagining of a modern game into the style and aesthetics of the time. E.g. taking God of War and turning it into a 2D Shinobi-style platformer for Sega Genesis. Or turning Gran Turismo into a Mode7-style racer on SNES.
In this case, the creator wrote a custom 3D renderer and recreated the models/meshes to get as close of an approximation of the N64 experience onto the GBA.
I wouldn't call it a port necessarily ("recreation" seems more apt), but it's closer to that than a demake.
Almost 30 years for me, both on my personal machines and at work.
I went through a period about 25 years ago where apt crashed on my (rather janky) desktop almost every other run, and sometimes left my system in a state so inconsistent that I had to fall back on 'dpkg-reconfigure --force' and the like to fix it.
Turns out that it was due to a bad interaction between a failing stick of RAM and reiserfs' tail-packing feature, which was causing frequent silent corruption in /var/lib/dpkg/status and friends.
I don't think I've seen any similar issues since, across what must be many millions of apt runs I've been responsible for.
Perhaps gp is suffering from some similar underlying problem?
Are these multibillion companies so incompetent to not think about it?
