Well yes the peformance ceraintly hasn’t caught up yet to x86 but the strongest riscv cpu on the market as far as I know has 64 cores on 2ghz. More then enough to run a desktop.

What is stopping people from bringing RISC-V to the desktop now? Major distros already support it and you can run x86 programs with box64.

What is not fast enough then?

And now officially the judiciary surrenders its powers.

Wrong idea if it includes killing your parents.

Seems like it’s specs are still unknown?

I’ve used a pinephone pro with arch and postmarket.

It works, but you really have to love linux to use it as a daily driver.

My banking app (bunq) worked using way droid.

But you can make this argument for anything that is used to make rich people richer. Even something as basic as pen and paper is used everyday to make rich people richer.

Why attack the technology if its the rich people you are against and not the technology itself.

No?

Anyone can run an AI even on the weakest hardware there are plenty of small open models for this.

Training an AI requires very strong hardware, however this is not an impossible hurdle as the models on hugging face show.

All the calculations could be done before hand and stored and then the only thing left in the delayed draw is to set the buffer.

I haven’t looked at the code yet so not sure how much if any it will save though.

Could also group pixels that are far away from eachother into a single call, while a compromise i think it will maintain the effect.

A random suggestion would be to draw to multiple canvases, and use a CSS animation for the delay.

Also not sure if you are already doing this but it might be more peformant to use the raw buffer instead of draw functions.

Alternatively you could look into webgpu, it is ment for these kind of things.

I don’t use mint so this might be blatantly incorrect but after a bit of searching on mint’s release schedule I would assume gimp 3.0 will arrive with the 22.2 or 22.3 version. With 22.2 expected at middle 2025 and 22.3 at start 2026.

ICE might aswell be a cartel at this point
