functionmouse··on Minecraft: Java Edition 26.2, the first version with Vulkan 1.2
Direct3D 12 is Vulkan under the hood. GL is the real competitor, and it provides legitimate accessibility to small developers, which is why the industry is extinguishing it.

> I actually chose this approach because changing people's keyboard habits is a much bigger challenge.

By requiring me to paste any time I want to use a text field, you are asking me to change my keyboard habits.

> I wanted users to keep using their favorite keyboards without forcing them to switch to a new one.

If I wanted to keep using my current voice input service, I wouldn't want to switch to yours. Your audience is people who are already dissatisfied with what they've got.

functionmouse··on Show HN: Voice typing on Android with accurate punctuation and code-switching
Seems neat. But rather than requiring drawing over apps (kinda sketchy) and putting your input in the clipboard (cumbersome), couldn't it simply exist as a voice input source to work alongside existing Android keyboards? Or, short of that, couldn't it just be an input method?

functionmouse··on My Taste Is Better Than Your Taste
I think Bob and Alice might be conspiring with the narrator.

edit: I'm seriously perplexed by this article. Is the idea here that there's no objective quality to taste? As in, you're trying to tell me strawberries don't objectively taste better than dirt?

First grade might have you believe all matters of taste are subjective, or, an opinion, but aren't we bigger than that?

Sure. But USI is bad unless the OEM goes out of their way to make it good, whereas EMR is good unless the OEM goes out of their way to make it bad. EMR is the better tech, and with patents expired, and numerous other benefits such as no batteries needed in the pen, it should be standard now.
functionmouse··on Modos Color Monitor Pushes E-Paper Displays Further
EMR patents and design specs expired. It's free. China's tooling simply hasn't caught up, because the output doesn't have to feel or work good, it simply has to look good in a kickstarter. Conjecture: I feel like this is like half the reason styluses as a technology are dying; the other half is the untimely death of the resistive display.

Bring back resistive touch!

functionmouse··on AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs
it's exactly why we're not allowed a competitive market for CPUs

we could all be burning our own tiny ~300nm feature size ICs at home for around the price of a blu ray burner and a dark room setup. Our silicon limitations are not for a lack of hardware, but rather a lack of freedom.
