  • Until they get native DX11 support at the level of the other 2 companies, that will continue to damage their appeal. I know people don’t like them using a translator for DX9 and Counter-Strike, but there is a lot larger number of a DX11-only games and early dual DX12/DX11 games that performed better using DX11. Smooth DirectX11 support needs to be a top priority for drivers.

    Plus Intel has the cash to fund path tracing delevelopment. They might be content taking market share away from AMD but spending a full billion dollars on path tracing R&D starts pushing into nVidia market territory.

    If I could make one request of all of the hardware companies, it be for all 3 GPU makers to push game studios towards Vulkan as replacement for DX12.




  • I was enthusiastic for Jami around 7 years ago, but now it is wholly irrelevent or meaningless. It also hurts the fact that absolutely nodo is using it.

    Now with having Jitsi to use, which is a service and not a program so it doesn’t matter if nobody is on there, plus SimpleX and Signal, as good as Jami legitmately is, it truly means absolutely nothing.

    I am already of the opinion that there too many messenging apps and not enough people using open source encrypted apps of any kind to move the market away for corporate proprietary messengers. I’m always working on getting people off of Whatsapp on to Signal/Molly. Maybe Jami team should quit and jump to developing SimpleX.


  • You could call it p2p since there is no Jami servers. Yes it does messaging and video conferencing. I see no point to Jami due to having to me installed compared to Jitsi would does group video cinferencing without installing it, and anybody can run their own Jitsi server to host conferences to keep them even more private away from the broader internet. The email service I use also has a Jitsi service available that I have used for video conferencing.

    I am strongly supportive of what Jami does, I don’t see it ever replacing a similar service like Jitsi or Sgnal.
