@dneary @roadriverrail @mekkaokereke just for fun I will add another story a bit closer to home. Sweden changed the colour once in the 70's to make it more printable, and again in the 00's to improve the rendering on computer screens.

@dneary @roadriverrail @mekkaokereke the reason why you don't hear about things like the somewhat recent change to the French flag is that no one really cares, unless their is a lot of emotional trauma tied to the issue.

Short story the French changed the blue in their flag to show solidarity with the EU, Macron changed it back.

@alyssa@treehouse.systems looks like I misread the original tweet. Thought this was about vulkan.

Apologies for any misunderstandings.

@gabrielesvelto

Looks like the princess is in another castle.

"The input shaders in Mantle are specified in binary intermediate language (IL) format. The currently supported intermediate language is a subset of AMD IL."

@gabrielesvelto @alyssa@treehouse.systems yes, that is what I was referring to. Totally an assumption on my part, so will be interesting to see how wrong I was.

@alyssa@treehouse.systems I don't remember exact history, but I am pretty sure both standards are taking from an AMD project. They aren't copying of each other, rather they copy from the same source (with explicit permission from AMD).

@MelodyWainscott @ct_bergstrom Dark partens is when you make an feature less accessible. This can be good thing as an example deleting the system files used to be easy on most early computers, effectively bricking the system. When you deploy dark partens to make it harder to stop paying for an service it is effectively abuse.

@jon didn't even occur to me that someone would use copy paste, obvious in retrospect.

English is my second language, that's why I wanted to know. Hope I didn't come of as a bit of a nitpicker.

Thanks for the patience.

@jon I was wondering because the error was not corrected in the image description, I would expect most to correct grammar errors in quotations (when not relevant to the text).

@jon Please tell me the "that" immediately following the word "drag queen" was supposed to be an "than", otherwise my comprehension of English grammar is more broken then thought.

@Quinnae_Moon I thought John Mastodon was parodising this exact phenomena.

@evil1 Apparently apple ended up having to replace to chips out of pocket because nvidia refused to recognise the problem.

I am increasingly convinced that you can't steel something clearly marked as being for sale, it's a sale. It can not ba a crime to take something from a store shelf. The store can however demand payment.

Debt collectors* should aid sellers in collection of their customers debt, not the police. It shall not be crime to buy things from an seller, or to be in debt to said seller.

*Their exist no reason debt collection can't be a well regulated industry.

@0xabad1dea then it's wrong. Code exists for humans, if code where for machines it would be in binary.
