@YaLTeR The "create some bullshit in a random repo" option is top notch.

And I know it does something else, but I refuse to read it in any other way.

@YaLTeR Thinking more about their examples, it's so fucking stupid what they show. "Latest X release" or "Open issues in Y" can be handled by regexes. But they feel the need to force the statistical word salad machine to do it? Yes, I want my queries to be completely but subtly wrong on random occasions.

Yesterday I wanted to check on the progress of HDR on Linux, but I got sidetracked into a clown show instead.

Paraphrasing:

- "GTK only supports one compositor"

- "This accepted Wayland protocol doesn't fit with our view of what Wayland is"

- "It would require adding things we already have and use"

- "I don't see the mouse cursor constantly being inconsistent as a problem"

- "I will be dismissive in a smug way that doesn't break any rules, because I can"

Surely, even 4chan goons can't be that stupid? What was the expectation here?

There was a library called libiberty, which is mostly forgotten now, but it was linked into every program compiled with DJGPP, and that's how I remember it.

It was notable for the pun when you wanted to link it. You had to type "-liberty".

There was so much potential for trolling. All you had to do was tell RMS that "minus liberty" sounded bad. An alternative way of passing parameters would be added to gcc and linker, and Stallman would evangelize that you should write "+liberty" from now on.

@TTimo @dotstdy It stays in the build history, though.

Here's some interesting data about how long Vulkan takes to initialize.

WSL:
VkInstance: 42 ms
VkDevice: 13 ms (llvmpipe)

Dell XPS laptop:
VkInstance: 61 ms
VkDevice: 2.9 ms (Intel Xe), 9 ms (llvmpipe)

Some Asus laptop:
VkInstance: 1.84 s (!)
VkDevice: 38 ms (Nvidia), 5 ms (Radeon), 26 ms (llvmpipe)

Well, there is no point in parallelizing this.

@dosnostalgic I thought this was about fufme.
