Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
If you compile #foot master branch against the new pixman 0.46 release (and check meson isn't using an old, cached, version number for pixman) you'll get support for 16-bit surfaces. These are now the default when you enable gamma-correct blending.
As mentioned before, both 10- and 16-bit surfaces are slower than 8-bit surfaces, and if you want to use gamma-correct blending and don't mind less accurate colors, you can force 8-bit surfaces by setting tweak.surface-bit-depth=8-bit.
Nice. Broadcom changed the URL of the update servers for VMWare Workstation, so you have to manually download new versions through their *glorious* customer portal.
