You are welcome to rejoin
- HerrLewakaas ( @HerrLewakaas@feddit.de ) 7•7 months ago
Actually probably not. Not without major concessions. The pound will have to go which they will never accept unless they have absolutely no other choice
- crispy_kilt ( @crispy_kilt@feddit.de ) 7•7 months ago
The concessions are the same as for any other EU member, which is fair
- Rubanski ( @Rubanski@lemm.ee ) 4•7 months ago
Why does the pound have to go?
- MaggiWuerze ( @MaggiWuerze@feddit.de ) 6•7 months ago
Because countries that join nowadays have to adopt the Euro. Denmark, for example, joined when that was still allowed, so they still have their DK.
- Flax ( @Flax_vert@feddit.uk ) English6•7 months ago
Apparently it’s dependent on the signing of a certain agreement before a certain date, which the UK did sign, so it’s actually debated on whether or not Brexit made that signature null or not.
- dan ( @dan@upvote.au ) 6•7 months ago
Yeah I’m confused about this statement… There’s several EU countries that don’t use the Euro, like Poland and Czechia.
- Rinox ( @Rinox@feddit.it ) 6•7 months ago
Some joined when the rules stated that you could choose. Some others are just waiting to meet conditions that will allow them to enter the Eurozone (like Croatia did last year)
- Flax ( @Flax_vert@feddit.uk ) English4•7 months ago
The UK adopts various EU rules, a lot of stuff even sold in Northern Ireland has to abide by EU rules (so just say that Apple did make separate lightning and USB C phones, they’d have to use separate operations to sell specific ones in parts of the UK and not others, it probably would have been easier for them to just sell the European models)

Canada, too. We’re somehow even more feckless at anti-trust.

Nvidia: bans platform translation layers for CUDA
Meanwhile AMD: is forbidden from releasing an open source HDMI 2.1 driver supporting 4K@120hz because of HDMI Forums requirements.

DisplayPort gang?
- nickwitha_k (he/him) ( @nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ) 23•7 months ago
Sadly also not an open standard, in reality but they are friendlier to FOSS.
- Bronco1676 ( @Bronco1676@lemmy.ml ) 8•7 months ago
At least it is royality free compared to HDMI which has a large annual fee + per unit fee for manufacturers
- nickwitha_k (he/him) ( @nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ) 7•7 months ago
Oh. It’s absolutely superior on the royalties side. Just incredibly frustrating that what should be an open standard that anyone can tinker with is not.
- OmnipotentEntity ( @OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org ) 6•7 months ago
It’s at least partially because the specification was designed to detect and thwart attempts to tee the video and audio data in order to bypass copy protection on DVDs and Blu-Rays, iirc.
- nickwitha_k (he/him) ( @nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ) 4•7 months ago
It is indeed and the fact that I don’t care about any of that makes it that much more frustrating. I got bored with piracy nearly two decades ago and just want to implement my own open-source virtual display systems in hardware and gateway I shouldn’t need to either cough up thousands of dollars a year or find a copy of a PDF that someone “accidentally” left at a public location in order to do so with an established protocol standard.

Does DP support CEC or ARC nowadays?
- zea ( @zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 49•7 months ago
Can a EULA ban fair use? Google v Oracle might have something to say about this.
- m-p{3} ( @mp3@lemmy.ca ) 19•7 months ago
It can say whatever it wants unless invalidated by a court or an existing law saying otherwise.
- FluffyPotato ( @FluffyPotato@lemm.ee ) 15•7 months ago
Probably depends on your country’s laws. Here in Estonia most EULAs aren’t valid because pressing accept on those isn’t legally binding.
- mexicancartel ( @mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•7 months ago
What if we don’t accept the EULA? Like why do we need to accept Nvidia’s EULA to create translation layer of cuda?
- FluffyPotato ( @FluffyPotato@lemm.ee ) 1•7 months ago
You probably don’t but it depends where you are. Reverse engineering software without permission isn’t illegal in most places but in the US I’m pretty sure it is.
- mexicancartel ( @mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•7 months ago
So its for reverse engineering it only? They can’t restrict creating a translation layer if no reverse engineering is involved right?
- FluffyPotato ( @FluffyPotato@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months ago
No idea, I’m not from the US and don’t know the laws beyond what I have previously looked up. Here in Estonia you can make the translation layer without accepting any EULA and even if you did it wouldn’t be legally binding. You can alse reverse engineer anything you want.

- uis ( @uis@lemm.ee ) 8•7 months ago
I need context
- Zacryon ( @Zacryon@feddit.de ) 15•7 months ago
Europeans People Party, large political party within the EU which is largely full of conservative right-wing folks with the german Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen at it’s top. She is also currently president of the European Commission and has been known to be involved in corruption and to favour company interests, as well as the rest of the fuckers in the EPP.
So I guess the context is: If EPP stays in power, that’s good for top-business-people, but bad for everyone else. Thereby detrimental for such competitive-practise-laws.

- Mr. Satan ( @mr_satan@monyet.cc ) 22•7 months ago
They can prohibit whatever they want, but how enforceable is it? Does Nvidia intend to play whack a mole by checking for translation layers?
- Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 20•7 months ago
Now imagine Microsoft banning the translation of DirectX to Vulkan. Could they do that? That would kill gaming on Linux in a snap.
- MyNamesNotRobert ( @MyNamesNotRobert@lemmynsfw.com ) 20•7 months ago
This has been said time and time again but fuck Nvidia. Preventing compatibility layers ensures games and programs that need this stuff are extra unreliable, bloated and enshittified.
- Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English4•7 months ago
Here’s the problem:
Doesn’t matter the country/countries. Due to bureaucracy and lobbying, this will take forever for anyone to get anything done. And by the time it’s done, something better will have appeared and will be using any and all loopholes present in whatever bill they pass to do the exact same shit that is happening now.
