Go look at libSANE docs or something, I'm not your search engine.

It is not even slightly hard to find such things which are Linux compatible. If you're trying to support old hardware that you have already then sure, it's hit and miss, and that's a real objection for switchers who might have to buy new hardware. IME most scanners are supported now, usually by libSANE, occasionally by the vendor. Printers might be less so, but there are plenty of supported options.

It does in a conversation about lies of Elon Musk when one is a claim by Elon Musk

It will blow your mind when you find out that the DMCA explicitly permits reverse engineering in some situations, for example for the purpose of interoperability. But that only applies in the US.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I got that and most other relevant functionality and where necessary matching licenses with my GPU.

Too bad about Windows and codecs. Another reason I'm not sorry I'm not using it personally.

Intel should do an AMD and spin off the fabs... if they ever get them working properly.

"Yields are adequate to address supply, but they are not where we need them to be in order to drive the appropriate level of margins," said [Chief Financial Officer at Intel David] Zinsner.

When AMD spun off GloFo they were working well, though becoming dated. Intel needs to get a current process up to that first part...

I would suspect that the cross-platform engine is already designed to function on Linux without these primitives, and further that it might not even use them at all on Windows either.

Monospace text out.

I've decided to treat him like a bot going forwards, because his responses are like an LLM wrote them with deliberately poor grammar.

Nah it's just to prevent edge cases.

Like how in Snowrunner when your trailer tries to inhabit the same space as your vehicle, it does a Bethesda-esque bounce around and HEAD FOR THE STARS maneuver... That wouldn't happen if they would place a sensible limit on velocity.

You think dissing is moaning? Good luck ever making a woman come.

The artificial friend is not a human, and pretending it is can only lead to more problems.

You've at least amounted to a person with some discernment. Apparently it's in short supply.

If I was still using Windows (thankfully I'm not, at least not for personal use) and if it still had this feature (which as we can see it doesn't) then I would still be using WIMP because of how good it was at delivering this feature — and because while it wasn't a great media player, it was fine. One thing I do miss from Windows is the codec system, and how you'd install a codec pack and all of the applications would be able to play all of the formats, if they supported the container anyway. Right now VLC is completely shitting itself on my system for some reason (suspect the new Nvidia driver... I am so done with those jokers, CUDA ain't worth it) so I'm using Dragon Player. This machine is slightly outdated, but I'm not super happy about it even so.

My limited but very slightly educated understanding is that it matters more for older applications because newer ones rarely depend on these locks. And that's what people say in the article's comment thread too — some newer games even give slightly worse performance, but there are some very big gains to be had on some older titles. The plan as I understand is for only NTSYNC to remain eventually, although I suspect at least one of the other methods will actually stick around for future implementations on other platforms.
