  • No, I mean that if lots of developers are using Denuvo wrong, it’s Denuvo’s fault for being too difficult to use correctly or not providing enough support to developers.

    Even if it’s the developers using it wrong, if lots of developers are doing that then it’s a fault with Denuvo.

    If one car hits something, it’s a problem with that car. If lots of cars keep hitting something, it’s a problem with the road.

















  • Okay, but that’s still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland’s development but they weren’t at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

    And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn’t work well either. Explicit sync came later.


  • Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren’t in the stable distros yet.

    Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They’re playing catchup and it’s entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

    They’re moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.
