A technical walkthrough of how the Apple M-Series DMP works, and how the GoFetch proof-of-concept exploits use it to leak private data to unprivileged user-space applications.
Re:Gnome to prevent theming, wider community not happy on Friday September 17, 2021 @05:07AM (#28562956)
I have exactly the same experience. Actually switched from Ubuntu to Arch to have a vanilla Gnome 40.

Maybe we should just admit that this is the Gnome Way. If customization is super important for you, maybe KDE, .. are the better options. There's a choice. =)

Re:Open Sourcing Direct3D 9 on 12 on Friday July 30, 2021 @07:31AM (#28006811)
Most likely inspired by DXVK - the Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 9/10/11.

Love this!

Functions look clean and fas Also great README (documentation, evaluation, ..)

I did not see a license file though. Is the repository intended as public domain?

UPDATE: thanks, apparently I'm trained to skip file head sections.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but this is not how I understand the meaning of "open source software".

It sounds rather like customers get source access. Do they have the right to sell the source code or re-release it in any way by following an open source license? ( https://opensource.org/licenses )

P.S. I'm not criticizing your business model or anyone elses.

Looks amazing!

The only thing missing for me to use it would be Vulkan support. I'm sure it will land soon and if not I guess I can put in the effort and make a patch/PR. =)
