Yes, you basically restated my point, I'm not really disagreeing, but saying there aren't any clients isn't really the case either.

Fair enough, I think in the real world parenting is the best solution. I just don't see an advantage to children being on social media...but I personally think social media is mostly a cesspool and barely use it myself. I just can't approve of something being used as an excuse to push age verification.

Wonder if you use kpartx to read the partition table instead of having the kernel do it if you'd have more luck?

I guess what I'm trying to get at is, a game engine contains a 3D (or 2D) renderer, but that's not it's primary focus. There are other projects which are just that, a game engine is a lot of other things too, physics simulator, audio engine, UI framework, etc. A compositor is similar, it's a compositing window manager, a Wayland display server, an input handler, etc. It does far more than manage windows. When we look at X11 all a window manager does is manage windows, composition was a separate application, although sometimes the window manager would handle it, input handling was managed directly by the X server. Basically a Wayland compositor is a compositing window manager, and display server combined into one, it's like a game engine, calling one a 3D renderer is missing out on the vast array of other responsibilities.

Do you use evil or normal? I've tried to switch away from my IDE but honestly the amount of time it takes to learn something new has just led me to not bother

Apologies, when I said free hardware I meant design as well as somewhat blending the term with free firmware. But either way the difference they draw isn't really all that different when you think about it. It's sort of irrelevant whether or not the firmware can be easily updated, what really matters is where the firmware is being executed. If it's running on the device then it can be isolated by the host system, if it's running on the host then it's not really firmware but rather part of the driver. The semantics don't change just because the firmware is "easily updatable." Having it be uploaded by the driver provides security benefits in that it can be patched by the manufacturer after the fact and having firmware in ROM which can't be patched doesn't guarantee it's more secure or even less complex in design. I guess I just see it as a somewhat arbitrary line and I personally don't agree with it

Well, I don't know then, this is super odd because here's the wayback for the launch of YT red and it says $10/mo with GPM included. The earlier pages archived all say "coming soon" and this time frame lines up with wikipedia's launch date as well as the prices listed on wikipedia. I really don't understand what's going on here then https://web.archive.org/web/20151031015519/youtube.com/red

EDIT: I just went and found my sign up confirmation from 8/1/2017 and the price was $10/mo and included YTM

Yes I know what Google play music was, I used it in HS...I also have had premium since it was launched as YT red. I don't recall the price ever being $8 though. It was $10 at launch and it's always included the music for that price. The hike to $14 had nothing to do with music. I'm in the US though so maybe regions are different? I had my $10 price for years after the price increase...only somewhat recently did they bump me to the new price.

I did some looking online and red launched alongside YTM for $10/mo in October 2015.

Where's the .EnableUltraUltraWideSupport(). Gotta have my 48:9 aspect ratio

🤔... I've never liked i and don't use it...not sure why. I keep thinking I should start but alas I just don't.

Yeah, I was ignoring apple platforms because Objective-C doesn't even have its own header extension as an option. Also not all C headers do extern stuff...and it doesn't fix 100% of compatibility problems when you do that anyway. Also I'm not really talking about it from a compiler perspective, I'm talking about it from an organization and human perspective. I know compilers generally don't care...which is exactly how we ended up in this predicament.

I think COVID is partially to blame here too. Specifically with the over hiring. A lot of companies took on too many people with the influx of cash caused by everyone staying home and playing games and when the market went back to level and everyone went back to work companies were left holding the bag for a bunch of employees that they realistically couldn't support and probably shouldn't have hired.
