The US and the West at large just thought China would stay that nice exploitable country for cheap labor forever. Their plans never adjusted to either find an alternative or move back production.
Capitalists praise “the power of the market” for being agile and whatnot, but companies (and many Western countries are being run by companies) target costs optimisation at all costs. They are like AIs with a bias for it and hyper-specialise for it. The only moves companies have are “buy the competitor” and for countries it’s just protectionism until war.
This isn’t praise for China throwing the majority of their citizens into the machine as cheap labor for Western companies, more a critique of the West’s tunnel vision. We will reap what we sowed.

Crowdbucks sounds interesting, but is extremely light on details. How does it work? Are all payments going to go through Stripe? Is it going to support GnuTaler? Crypto maybe? Is it to be integrated into things like Mastodon, Peertube, and other fediverse services?

iptables default DENY and flush the rules. Done by at least two people I know (then me) at the same company. Led to them moving the servers in-house and virtualizing some services to connect to the hypervisor. It does happen though.

Thanks, this is the answer to the question I was just asking! (What is Magma trying to solve).
Can you dive a little deeper in how Magma is solving this? Don’t VMs have a virtual GPU with a driver for that GPU in the guest that, I imagine, forwards the graphics instructions and routines to the driver on the host? (possibly even translating to OpenGL or VK that then is handled by Mesa?). Where in that does Magma come in? My guess is that magma sits in the guest as the graphics driver and on the host before Mesa, but I know little about virtualisation outside of containers.
Also, what are these “native contexts” you speak of? Are they like the virtualisation extensions on CPUs that VMs can directly use?
As usual, Apple was never the first to have the idea or have the first implementation. They often take something, make it glossy, and market the hell out of it. Luckily it hasn’t displaced Windows yet and Linux is gaining ground.
That was a good explanation. The only thing left to understand is Magma. I’m not seeing the problem they are trying to solve.
Lol, OK, you just answered the exact question I had! Amazing. Thank you.
Thanks, this answers the questions I asked another commentor 😅 Now I have to ask if Mesa is an implementation of OpenGL, what is an implementation of Vulkan? Or is the reference implementation of Vulkan also called “Vulkan” ?
Edit: alright @who@feddit.org answered the question.
Thank you. I’ll ask questions here, but might find out more while reading the other answers.
So, SDL provides a window with an OpenGL surface. What is OpenGL? Is it an API spec that can have multiple implementations like the opensource implementation that is Mesa? Is DirectX 3D the same just with a proprietary implementation?@Kissaki@programming.dev answered this.And when you say “Vulkan is multi-threaded”, does that mean that the implementation uses instructions for drivers that target a multiple GPU cores? I would have expected the multi-threaded or parallelism aspect to be handled by the driver, not the driver client (in this case Vulkan or Mesa/OpenGL).
Arch users recommending Arch to beginners. In other words, Arch is fine, the community isn’t.
44·3 months agoThe comparisons you’re making are off base and it feels like you’re mocking something you don’t understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I’d suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec’s intro. It isn’t long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don’t understand.
Git is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).
Git is, but what about everything else? When you clone a project on gitlab or github, does it come with all the issues, discussions, MRs, and so on?
I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth.
That’s what signed commits are for. Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse. Like now, you made a comment on a post on Fediverse@lemmy.world through your instance lemmy.zip. The same would happen with your comments, pull/merge requests, issue reports, and so on. There’s no need for a “central authority”.
