Checkmate, I called the police.

As I indicated, please check (articles and the documentations of) font renderers at this point.

At this point I'm not expert enough to explain more details. You can check font renderers.

Below is what's in my mind but it's just a guess.

In typical PC architectures you have IO between the storage and the RAM, and then there's the copying from the RAM to the VRAM, and editors maybe also want copying from the VRAM to RAM for decoration purposes etc.

AFAIK it's the copy cost for the memory. GPU makes sense only when the hardware allows this copy to go away. Generally, desktop PCs don't have such specialized hardware.

Yes, but if they support Nazis,

So tired. These Nazis should be called out for what they are.

Therefore there is a real threat that the required majority for mass scanning of private communications may be achieved at any time under the current Hungarian presidency (Hungary being a supporter of the proposal).

Why did they let this Hungarian pro-Nazi idiot regime lead anything?

GPU-accelerated renderer.

There's a reason why GUIs don't render fonts in the GPU.

I can agree, but I MYSELF will pick a strong PW. So they better just fucking encrypt the thing, fucking please for the love of god.

by any process on the system

This IS bad. Btw they can ask the user to type the password rather than saving it in a plaintext. I can't believe comments on this thread defend Signal...

Poor workflow. Switching applications is horrible if you have 4 windows open in one desktop. Even gnome is far better at that.

You write like one can do stuff on Linux with one command.

However, Linux enthusiasts simultaneously tell the user to spend time troubleshooting problems on their own, and say that's a given.

It's a double standard I see on the web.

I still check facebook somehow (I hate it).

Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it's 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level...

Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don't spam "quit FB already" messages.)
