found this ancient image of when I was doing the Half-Life 2 Steam Deck update where there was a bug that just made the Jalopy Radar a huge B Button glyph

@lutris There is literally a whole channel in their discord dedicated to web3 crypto shit about the web3 meme handheld they are working on.They are associated and connected. This is not arguable.

if you are an open source maintainer, and you pull the "you are wasting my time, my time is so valuable, you should feel guilty!" card to users making issues/bug reports, you should be ashamed and embarrassed.

Announcing: Frog Protocols for Wayland 🐸Let's create Wayland Protocols but much more iterative.Wayland Protocols has long had a problem with new protocols sitting for months, to years at a time for even basic functionality.This is hugely problematic when some protocols implement very primitive and basic functionality such as frog-fifo-v1, which is needed for VSync to not cause GPU starvation under Wayland and also fix the dreaded application freezing when windows are occluded with FIFO/VSync enabled.We need to get protocols into end-users hands quicker! The main reason many users are still using X11 is because of missing functionality that we can be shipping today, but is blocked for one reason or another.Check out the repo here! https://github.com/misyltoad/frog-protocolsand the Mesa MR that adds support for frog-fifo-v1 to fix these issues and goes into much more detail: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/31329/

If you don't recognise this game, I promise that this cutscene isn't going where you think it's going.

@BrodieOnLinux if everything is unsafe, then nothing is unsafe and this whole thing loses its meaning

my hot take is that the majority of desktop applications (not games) shouldn't need to be and should not be "rendering" anything.simply forwarding their scene graphs to the higher level compositor which can do a much better job.

After about 3 days of work, I got DLSS to work on NVK (the open source NVIDIA driver in Mesa)! :U1f9d1-200d-1f680-frogAstronaut: DLSS is essentially just some launched Cuda kernels, so it was just a matter of implementing the VK_NVX_binary_import and VK_NVX_image_view_handle extensions. These extensions are used by DXVK and VKD3D-Proton via. DXVK-NVAPI to implement DLSS.Although, that alone was not an easy feat because the surface area of Cuda is pretty huge and parsing the cubins is difficult as there's these weirdly packed attributes spread across multiple sections an ELF where some of the metadata is ordinal-based and some of it is name-based and oh, the ELF is also inside another container of ELFs (elves?).But once you parse all that out, it's actually not *that* bad. The surface area is mostly in the parsing of the cubins, the actual dispatch code is tiny!Right now, it only supports DLSS versions that have code compiled for the GPU you are running it on. If you try and run old DLSS on a new GPU, that will not work on my implementation currently as we'd need to go from NVIDIA's IR (PTX) to some form of bytecode. That's a huuuge task.The code is not ready to land yet (lots of clean-ups needed!), but it's working now in Control!Attached is an image of Control doing DLSS with a 960x540 -> 1920x1080 upscaling.Special thanks to @mary for helping me figure out I needed to be setting some smem in the qmd, despite the kernel launch seemingly not specifying any.Also attached, is a picture of the initial froggy sample app and kernel I wrote to test the extensions before delving into the extra bits that DLSS needs to work. ;D
