@wyatt Are you thinking of WebRender, which shipped in Firefox 91 for desktop Linux and Firefox 92 for Windows?

Servo 0.0.1 is here, the first standalone release of the Rust-based browser engine. It matches the Oct 19 nightly with extra testing and now ships builds for Linux, Android, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Windows. A small but real step forward.

🌗 提升WebRender的紋理圖集分配-像素數達800萬且在WebRender中改善紋理圖集分配
➤ 在WebRender中改善紋理圖集分配的方法
✤ https://nical.github.io/posts/etagere.html
這篇文章探討瞭如何在WebRender中改善紋理圖集的分配，以提高GPU效率。作者介紹了紋理圖集分配受限於固定資源集的批次規則，並將主要關注於紋理圖集分配演算法的細節。文章還提到了guillotiere crate的開發過程，以及如何使用SVG格式視覺化程式狀態。文章最後介紹了作者在Rust生態系統中使用rust crate的便利性。
+ 這篇文章詳細解釋了紋理圖集分配的原理和過程，很有幫助！
+ 我對使用SVG來視覺化程式狀態感到興趣，這是一個很好的想法！

GPU acceleration isn't always faster. Wayland is supposed to be faster because it utilises the GPU. Well, Firefox had the same idea with WebRender. Now, when I scroll on my poor laptop's Intel HD 4000, both Firefox and Wayland are fighting over GPU resources resulting in less FPS compared to X11. The CPU is almost idle. 😅

🌗 GitHub - emacs-ng/emacs-ng: Emacs的新方法-包括TypeScript、線程、異步I/O和WebRender
➤ GitHub上的Emacs-ng項目提供了一種新的Emacs方法，包括TypeScript、線程、異步I/O和WebRender等功能
✤ https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng
這是一個關於GitHub上的Emacs-ng項目的介紹，該項目提供了一個新的Emacs方法，包括TypeScript、線程、異步I/O和WebRender等功能。
+ 這個新的Emacs項目聽起來很有趣，我想試試看。
+ TypeScript和線程功能將大大提升Emacs的效能和靈活性。

And yes, this is still all just to compile #Mesa so I can debug it in #GDB and figure out why #Firefox' #WebRender causes those funky artifacts on #Freedreno (#Adreno 306, #MSM8916)

I have no idea what I am doing, really. If anyone has some secret #GPU knowledge, get in touch! 📐

Maybe @mozilla or some of the great @thunderbird people? 🙏 Can't hurt to ask, right?

Aujourd'hui je me suis amusé à faire des petites apps avec #rust #druid et #relm4 . C'était fun mais les interfaces proposées pour #rust sont quand même assez rudimentaires . Les #webrender semblent permettre plus de choses mais j'aurais l'impression de faire des apps #electron et c'est pas mon style .

📈 Énorme augmentation des performances avec Nightly avec #WebRender par rapport à la version stable sans WebRender. L'un des objectifs de @GeckoView@twitter.com était l'augmentation des performances. C'est pourquoi cette réécriture était nécessaire.

So finally i'm using #Ubuntu 20.04 on a #raspberrypi 4 wich means i'm finally using the so called "bloated" GNOME desktop.

I... i am genuinely impressed, i... can't even believe this actually works nice, like...

I'm using the Wayland session, the animations are surprisingly smooth, not the smoothest but i don't think i'm going to disable it because it feels good enough, since i'm using the 8gb model there's not a problem with the RAM consumption and Firefox 80 with #webrender enabled works nice, really nice.

Any particular problem to point out?

So far only pleasant things compared with Raspberry Pi OS. First, Flatpak is well configured and it doesn't show me any message like "applications will not appear in the menu because "n" technology is not well configured".

The only thing that i might complain is the language configuration which doesn't seem to install anything outside english, i need the spanish language to use the spellcheck in Libreoffice, so i guess i'll install an extension.

The GNOME UI is quite fantastic, compared with LXDE is nice as hell, it feels super comfortable and it genuinely surprised me that the performance is this good. I overclocked the Pi to 2 GHz and GPU to 750 MHz but even before the performance was nice.

The installation process was kinda tricky, you can only install Ubuntu server but you can set up the whole desktop experience by installing the "desktopify" tool from github, the process was smooth and nice, yet it requires some knowledge.

Well that's my report Joaquin xD..

📈Huge performance boost in Nightly with #WebRender compared with Stable without WebRender. One of the goals of @GeckoView was performance. That is why this rewrite was needed. 👷🏼‍♀️🚀 https://testdrive-archive.azurewebsites.net/Performance/Chalkboard/Default.html

After enabling #WebRender in Firefox, the performance worsened! 😭
