I'm surprised nobody said it yet. Welcome back!

What I thought I'd do was...

I'd pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes

Once you switch to Wayland you'll start having X11 blockers pretty fast :)

I don't use steam, I buy games on GOG. Just install it via Lutris and pick system wine in runner options. And do the regedit trick with the graphics driver: link

I don't use proton, I use system wine instead. There are also wine builds by Glorious Eggroll with applied proton patches if you need them.

It doesn't help much though, performance is exactly the same as Xwayland

I'm using it daily since Wine 9.5, it works without issues (I mostly play Elden Ring)

Suppose I have 1000 people from community and 10 out of them are gender minorities. I then have 5 projects, each with 10 members on board committee, and I want a representative of gender minority in each of them. And I choose hard workers based on merit, the best of the best.

In such case I will be choosing 9*5 = 45 people out of 1000, and specifically I add 1*5 = 5 people out of those 10.

So the board committees will have 45 members each with (worst case) 955/1000 = 95.5% percentile performance, and additionally 5 members of gender minorities, each with mediocre 5/10 = 50% performance.

The gender minorities will perform worse, because we specifically singled them out of the crowd. This is not how you improve diversity.

I didn't understand a thing about what the actual issues were.

Based on comments I can see that Jon Ringer objected to inserting gender minority person as a requirement for committee board.

So, why is he wrong? I totally agree that gender minorities deserve recognition, but making it a hard requirement for having a committee board sounds like nepotism.

Same here, but it turned out a lot of frameworks like tensorflow or pytorch do support AMD ROCm framework. I managed to run most models just by installing a rocm version of these dependencies instead of the default one.

He means that ASCII table has an actual character that represents end-of-text and that terminals respond to with SIGINT, and it is ETX character, 0x03.

The Control modifier on your keyboard basically clears the top three bits of whatever ASCII character you type, leaving the bottom five and mapping it to the 0..31 range. Ctrl+C sends 0x03, which is exactly ETX.

Look at the ASCII table for a clue, this is why it was a convenient thing to do.
