Because it is NOT the same driver. AMD, just like nVidia, want to keep their own secret sauce secret, because that's where the money is.

Definitely, it's his software and he can do whatever he wants, and I'm not criticising him, I'm criticising Linux for not offering a stable driver API. As far as I know they don't …

I didn't say there's a technical reason, I said they want to keep their source code secret, which to me is a reasonable argument.

Yes, Windows has a stable driver API you can build upon. Linux does not, because they want all drivers to be inlined (included in the kernel) and open source. nVidia does not want …

Weakest article ever. One of his main arguments is that a Taco Bell transaction got miscategorised, lol

They will use the Chromium engine, so it will be fast and render pages well. If they stick an ad blocker by default, something the Mozilla Corporation hasn't got the balls to do, t…

"never allow escapes", as opposed to, say, Western prisons, where escapes are allowed or even encouraged,

Or perhaps the title of this article is intentionally ambiguous to make people click.

State of browsers in 2019: asking your browser to bypass an SSL error is so hard that it's easier to ask for a mirror. btw, if you use Chrome and you see an SSL error, just type "t…

I will never understand this trend where, during your worktime, you do lots of stuff that have nothing to do with work. Be it gaming, playing pingpong, getting drunk, rallying for …

Yes you have a point. As I've said I don't use it, so I don't know how it goes. What I'm saying is that a politics-free social network is not only possible, but desirable.

That is false. TikTok is a platform where people upload videos of themselves doing things like lip syncing, dancing, etc. That does not have to turn political at all. Unless you us…

Or Tumblr with pornography.

TikTok is, as the title says, a social network for cheerfulness and fun. I don't use it, but I can understand they outright ban politics: 1) they avoid becoming the vile cesspool T…

If it's just nginx serving files you can do this with a 386. I mean seriously what's so special about this? Maybe I'm missing something. Pretty sure nginx can serve thousands of st…

You can't block an IP address with a hosts file; you can't even use wildcards in them. You will need a firewall rule.

Oh boy this again. Everybody has heard about all these things on the telly, on online newspapers, etc. The media launched a massive campaign against Facebook. It didn't work. Peopl…

That's supposing I would be stupid enough to keep money in my PayPal account, which I'm not.

And the reason is...? I've been using PayPal for like 15 years and I've never had a problem with it. "Until you do" is not an acceptable answer to my question. Things work until th…
