I had a worry and I asked my union for advice. And my union has helped me lots. Join a union. Seriously.

Also, join the union _before_ you have problems with work, because some unions require you to be in the union for a short while (~6 months?) before offering you full support.

@nina_kali_nina There is power in a union. You’re on your own, otherwise.

@nina_kali_nina @jyn They will be, if enough people join and use them.

Yep I support unions and have held membership in four throughout my work life. I hate to say it though, but the union I was most involved with didn't do squat for me when I was suspended for 9 days. Not a damn thing -

Not a damn thing@CaymanPilot 😢 sorry to hear that... I know they're not silver bullets, and I know some had quite bad experience with theirs. But many can be very helpful in some common-ish situations...

The client is a bit nervous.

In 20 minutes I have a meeting. This is a horrible timespan, because it's too short to start any serious work, and too long to not be bored out of my mind.

@lisyarus This is a fair point. I write DX11 as the "golden path" because that's what I know best, and then translate to the equivalent OpenGL and ignore all the wacky variants/extensions of OGL that don't directly correspond to the DX11 equivalents. But you could just skip writing the DX11 code entirely I guess? I don't have a broad enough experience of OGL to know if that's wise.

@lispi314 I suspect the on-device video-based age mechanism is broken because they'd like to drive people towards the upload-your-government-ID-documents option.
Not going to happen.

Does Wine have a macOS port? I know mesa does, so this might make it possible to leverage the various dx->vulkan layers for the graphics part.
Oh wait with the new ARM stuff that wouldn't work at all without some kind of lower level emulation. Was this what Valve was working on for their new VR thing?
