pros: learning a lot about Qualcomm's DRM code lately

cons: have to distill said code into something simpler, maintainable, and hopefully expandable for U-Boot

so like, only DSI interface support (for now!), either single or dual "bonded" DSI, and then it gets really fun and messy with Display Stream Compression and weird displays that require a total of 4 DSC sub-blocks running in "merge" mode

So far I have ~300 lines of code that takes a `dpu_resource_request` and returns a `dpu_topology` and it seems to be basically right for at least 1 case XD

The Linux build of Baba is you runs under FEX but uses ALLLLL of the CPU cores?!

the windows builds with proton and fex get upset and we get presented with THE POPUP

lol wtf is greetd???? it forks and switches user to start the shell so your compositor is running OUTSIDE of the systemd user slice

like this is actually gross

just got CC'd in an insane email along with a bunch of other kernel devs, seems like someone went off the deep end with chatGPT. Documented it in a Gist, anyone have any theories? XD

I would recommend jumping to line 490 for the weirdest bits https://gist.github.com/kcxt/2489f17398cd1ea10da8be516323582d#file-prepare_our_fighters_100k_1_million_30_million-c-L490

this looks so goofy lmao, like a bad ai generated image of a raspberry pi

terrifying reality check, all the comments are people being like "yeah my brain is so fried at the end of the day from the cognitive overload"

wondered why vscode was running like total shit after a recent update, then it popped up telling me the extension host crashed and offered to do an extension bisect so im like sure why not

i go through picking can/can't reproduce just based on vibes of how shit it was running

i have 116 extensions installed and THIS was the end result of that, joker moment of a fucking generation. fuck microsoft

(if you reply to this telling me to not use vscode i will probably block you, yes that includes suggesting codium or whatever. i wish this wasn't the workflow i ended up with but it is and now isn't the time for me to switch)

lol, lmao?? this AI generated website makes me wanna headbutt a wall but the CVE seems real(?), update your kernels folks

the part that really grinds my gears is why is the poc written in the most disgusting possible python syntax?? are we optimising for size here?

hehe, haha

absolutely deranged ad on reddit, pay to have this website display your customised "frame"(?) for a minute of the day?? please politely fuck off lmao

it's basically modelled on the stock market, buy a minute now for $1 and maybe if you're lucky and the company pop off you can sell it later and make a profit
