Which may be the end goal, use this as a wedge to convince their base that revoking citizenship may be justified in some cases.

The passive voice writing in this article is as usual playing defense for the police.

Independence police’s response to that 911 call ended with the shooting death of Pike, 34, and her two month old daughter, Destinii Hope. Let me rephrase this in a less passive way. The response to that 911 call from the independence police officer ended with him shooting Pike, 34 and her two month old daughter, Destinii Hope, to death.

I'm not implying this specific author or newspaper are writing in this style out of malice. I think this is part of a problem with the culture in journalism, because most articles on police violence are written this way.

In Dutch there is a saying which translates to "a donkey doesn't hit themselves on the same stone twice", i.e. they don't make the same mistake twice. I guess the dems should start looking for a different mascot.

C on Morello (or any other capability machine).

Even if Tesla itself doesn't do that, it's something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera's (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).

Yet, the Netherlands has its very own bible belt! There are quite a lot of conservative christians in the Netherlands, they just don't live in Amsterdam. I don't disagree though that religion is less at the forefront of public conversation than in the US.

I'm not that familiar with WSL, can it interface with libraries like DirectX or Vulkan?

I didn't know that, thanks! That's actually very impressive, and given how efficient qemu-style emulators are, I wouldn't be surprised to see near-native performance despite a little bit of overhead from emulating game logic.

No, not that much. The emulation of the syscalls are specific to Linux, so none of that is usable on Windows. They could reuse the emulator, but it seems likely they would write their own from scratch so they can keep everything closed source. Obligatory: fuck Microsoft.

Well, not exactly... WINE is a compatibility layer for syscalls between the x86 Windows API and (among others) the x86 Linux API, quite similar to how DXVK translates from DirectX to Vulkan.

What proton does is combine utilities like Wine and DXVK into a user friendly bundle, along with contributing substantially to the projects it bundles to make them interoperate well.

This looks to me like they want to bundle another utility, which does fast emulation of x86 user code on an ARM Linux system. Another commentator mentioned they are using FEX for this, which looks to me to do the same core task as qemu-user, but more focused on x86 to ARM and generally user-friendlier. That emulator could then be used to run x86 Wine on ARM.

The way qemu-user and FEX emulate one ISA on another is actually very cool btw. They realise massive speed gains by intercepting syscalls and executing them directly, instead of emulating a whole x86 Linux system.

You're not implying they are racist or partisan, are you? /s

If you ask the supreme court, probably not.
