Software implementations of those features is often slower, and runtime checking can often be too expensive compared to the gains.

since it seems like nobody but cachy or custom kernel runs anything but V1

Gentoo offers x86_64-v4 binary builds too.

There was a proposal for Fedora too, though it was ultimately rejected.

Ultimately the gains right now seem to be only 1-3%, though that might also be because there's not much demand for these kind of optimizations. If more distros enable them they might become more widespread and the benefits might increase too. It's a chicken-egg problem though.

Emails are nowhere near being competitive with discord. Sure, they're technically more accessible, but in practice they are much less usable by random people which in turn will just avoid interacting or contributing with your project.

To be fair trees still use energy for doing this, but that energy is conveniently provided by the sun.

High or low level doesn't matter. Mathematically it just makes more sense to use 0-based indexing https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD831.html

Can't those be installed in toolbox?

Jokes on you, I subscribed to my mobile plan 8 years ago and I still pay 6€ for unlimited calls/sms and 30GB (Italy, Iliad)

Isn't there already Box64/Box32? Not to mention most Linux software is already compiled for ARM thanks to being open source.

They used to, but they weren't very good.

Metro UI toggle buttons were rectangular though.

GNOME devs never said that theming is incompatible (just "not supported"), and you're still not explaining whay you mean with "incompatible" either. Managing window controls also doesn't seem a requirement to be "compatible", as the app still runs fine even with client side decorations (again, it just won't fit visually with the rest of the system).

And by the way, the problem is not theming per-se, but the fact that apps get themed by default, they inevitably break by default, and app developers are left to deal with that. Nobody ever tried to improve the situation so the solution they came up with is to have their apps always look the same.

How about when the theming is baked in and impossible to change?

It can still be changed, it's just a harder to do so.

It's about doing things that go against the interests of the user.

This conveniently ignores that app developers are also users of ui frameworks, and they would like a well defined platform to test for, rather than an endless stream of distros each with its own theme that could break their app.

Libadwaita is only compatible with gnome and only works with gnome. Other DE's can try to make it work in their DE, but the experience for them is hostile.

Not sure what you mean with "compatible", as libadwaita apps are supposed to work on other DEs as well. It might not fit visually with them, but that's not being incompatible.

It's also extremely unlikely that you'd be running a bat script with untrusted arguments on Windows.

It happens in yt-dl, which is where this was first reported https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/security/advisories/GHSA-hjq6-52gw-2g7p

More like Windows showing ads even when you boot Linux

However, how are they sabotaging it working on Linux.

For example they discontinued support for Rocket League on Linux (and Mac) after buying Psyonix.

I mean, if they actually tried it they should know what it's about even without reading the article...

Citra is a 3DS emulator, this is a DS one, how are you comparing them?

They do kinda have a point against Spotify but they conveniently omit the fact that Apple Music, their own music app, competes against Spotify without those restrictions that Spotify wants to remove.

Even after reading the key points it wasn't clear "how" they manage to do that. The article is not much more detailed, but at least mentions them exploiting android's accessibility services.

Even if the compiler was available to the public most software doesn't use it, so the benchmark is still not representative of real world performance.
