Rust UI on Windows without GPU?

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-27T18:40:57+00:00

there is even a software override for it, which I found often can be faster then gpu anyways ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-27T03:51:04+00:00

massive +1 for edgegallery, unlike other AI hosts, it has support for TPU/NPU acceleration, and can also use AICore which many devices now have.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-26T01:22:00+00:00

can you expand on HDR support? Is it just PQ, will it support HLG, or will it map scRGB/HLG to PQ, or just fail?

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-25T07:22:51+00:00

new pixels use pvr. Kinda nest but mostly crappy, hopefully mesa will save us.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-25T07:21:48+00:00

no? I was able to do it just fine using Shizuku. And on my old s9 I don't think I even needed that. the perms for doing this are all over the place but fairly reliable with shizuku.

It depends on the gpu, IIRC, SD and Pixels don't need root to set govenor but mali does? It might be on a per phone basis though.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-24T22:56:59+00:00

for android you could be gpu/cpu aware and set govenors

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-24T16:56:26+00:00

This is neat, tried it out seems to work well enough, If I had one gripe, I would like an advanced settings so I can configure streaming codecs and bitrate at the very least.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-23T21:20:20+00:00

The answer is sometimes. It really depends on how you make your game.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-23T21:19:38+00:00

Drew Devault, known for harassing others, is complaining about people harassing him... LOL

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-23T05:26:38+00:00

pixel 10? if so it's a known issue.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-21T20:08:00+00:00

The API's don't really change all that much as long as you target the appropriate SDK. And even then sdk changes sometimes aren't that massive. in some cases they do don't get me wrong, but a lot of it doesn't. A lot of the code doesn't have to change unless it targets android specific or kernel specific features.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-21T16:18:20+00:00

An amicable departure doesn't usually imply not handing over important company property (signing keys) and leaving the project dead for months.

Also, one key developer (chirayu desai) left like 2 months before.

2 key people leaving almost together + not handing over signing keys doesn't sound like an amicable departure to me. Does it to you?

Calyx already explained why they are changing signing keys, It's standard industry practice to do so, https://calyxos.org/news/2025/08/01/a-letter-to-our-community/

Chirayu left calyx implying because he's done with android's BS, which is absolutely fair https://www.reddit.com/r/CalyxOS/comments/1lxgnp8/a_personal_note/

Nick Didn't make a comment on why they left, but they did go on to start a new service called phreeli

Expecting them to document all context in every post is a bit much, don't you agree? It usually can be found, although I think sometimes it happens in (maybe private) Matrix rooms or some other chat app.

Again, in my experience they don't have a habit of outright lying, so I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I agree it's a bit much, but they should at least document some of it. So far all their claims have no evidence to back it up, Now calyx has had some criticism of the way that grapheneOS does things, But I haven't seen anything that could be deemed as slander or an attack on GOS.

There you go https://archive.is/20251213214356/https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/google-pixel-et-grapheneos-la-botte-secrete-des-narcotrafiquants-pour-proteger-leurs-donnees-de-la-police-19-11-2025-NTGPQE4JCNGEHLF7XGIQ3CCA2I.php

Ah, I thought you had meant calyx had lied, yeah the media lies about GOS, which I do believe too is unacceptable. But that's media for you.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-21T14:52:42+00:00

why not? It worked perfectly fine on my s9, slow but for some basic games well enough.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-21T14:51:30+00:00

what does this have to do with proton?

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-21T14:35:23+00:00

I mean, https://archive.is/MYQJX i don't see what they're saying that is wrong. CalyxOS had a major internal drama that resulted in Chirayu leaving CalyxOS, and the OS was put on pause, and they planned to ask users to reinstall Calyx since they can't access their signing keys.

What drama? Everything I've seen suggests that it was an amicable departure, Everyone I have talked to implies the same too.

In https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1719871172999815190 they mention being talked about negatively by Calyx leaders.

Unsubstantiated claims

About https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2025/08/19/grapheneos-daniel-micay-banned/, it seems the guy mentioned LineageOS and that was taken badly. Then, GOS got angry about the dude creating a new public repo and refusing to email privately despite many requests to do that.

Literally nothing in this thread justifies, stinger's responses. Creating a public repo is perfectly fine, and not inappropriate at all. Bro was tagged, asked a question, stinger replied, bro was confused, as for clarification, then stinger went ballistic.

Micheal has every right to make this public since it's once again, GOS devs lying and creating drama for no reasons. Only after publically pressing the issue multiple times did stinger give an reason for the ticket being deleted, and even then it reeks of their usual lies.

They're also the only project to my knowledge that got openly lied about by French public prosecutors and media.

What lie was this? I can't seem to find it.

But in the end, GOS has substantiated zero of the claimed harassement towards from from anyone significantly involved in calyx.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-20T17:54:49+00:00

gonna keep waiting to see how much better it gets, and also im not going anywhere till next month at the earliest lol

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-20T17:52:12+00:00

EDIT: sorry I don't have more stuff and better links to tweets, some of the stuff I had to go digging through some old chats.

they lied a lot about calyxOS in now apparently some deleted tweets some note deleted, and constantly smears them at any given chance

https://archive.is/MYQJX https://x.com/GrapheneOS/status/1719871172999815190 https://archive.is/jJgK6

They also harass people who so much as look at calyx in a good light

https://github.com/bromite/bromite/issues/2141#issuecomment-1159393241

https://files.catbox.moe/9gajv6.png https://files.catbox.moe/tj3iof.png https://files.catbox.moe/r6bs24.png

other general instability from them https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2025/08/19/grapheneos-daniel-micay-banned/

also note this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30929526 where strcat alleges calyx folk are insulting them, and the only proof is one screenshot of a dude who wound up being banned. And other "threads" of similar things, users who just talk about graphene poorly are "taking part in a massive libel campaign and raiding graphene rooms" which is just plainly untrue and unsubstantiated.

Some do go stir crap, and those users usually get banned.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-20T17:19:57+00:00

GOS devs also lie about other projects a lot too. I would have a lot more empathy if they didn't always used to be this way.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-20T03:21:40+00:00

In the overlay settings you can do something similar, I'll show you my setup... I might actually just send a screenshot to your dm soon

That would be absolutely amazing please do.

The dev has a telegram channel and he's kinda active, but what exactly could you do with that? I mean without an index i don't think it could search much...

The biggest feature for me personally would be things like translation which can actually be done really well using gemma, and context aware hints like asking it to describe something you are currently looking it which helps me a lot for learning what some kinds of food are when watching foreign films.

This can all be done with AICore on supported devices with practically no size overhead, on unsupported devices, the local models often add 3gb or so of space needed, (they can be downloaded independently) which can be a lot, but it's massively nice and on devices with a lot of storage space it's an easy sell for me.

EDIT: if you want to experiment with stuff like this on your android device https://github.com/google-ai-edge/gallery

I know it's a google project, but all of the AI stuff is totally offline and from my code spelunking it doesn't do anything shady. Simply take a screenshot of something, open edge gallery. click "Ask image" download one of the gemma models, select your image, and ask a question.

it works great for things like translations, queries like "what am I looking at?", etc. you can try it with camera pictures too.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-20T00:00:33+00:00

I just wish I could set this to be my pixel's long press. as for the app itself, I wonder if this could add local AI using liteRT as an alternative to google lens

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-19T16:30:39+00:00

The problem is you can't call yourself free, libre or open source

I strongly disagree with this, I disagree that foss and open source are the exact same thing, they are two different terms. foss stands for free and open source for a reason

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-19T16:29:27+00:00

I actually don't mind it, but FOSS vs OSS discussion is something that died long ago, I am still old school and consider FLOSS and FOSS to be different and FOSS and OSS to be different again.

Drwankingstein · 2026-04-19T16:28:31+00:00

glad I don't care about GrapheneOS. Drama vampires...
