Conformant OpenGL® ES 3.1 drivers are now available for M1- and M2-family GPUs. That means the drivers are compatible with any OpenGL ES 3.1 application.

Our reverse-engineered, free and open source graphics drivers are the world’s only conformant OpenGL ES 3.1 implementation for M1- and M2-family graphics hardware. That means our driver passed tens of thousands of tests to demonstrate correctness and is now recognized by the industry.

Why did we pursue standards conformance when the manufacturer did not? Above all, our commitment to quality. We want our users to know that they can depend on our Linux drivers. We want standard software to run without M1-specific hacks or porting.

    why did you feel the need to highlight they were women? It feels like you’re implying women are worse at programming, devaluing their effort.

      Uh, no, because women are underrepresented in the software industry and there’s a clear bias against non-males in this area. Only 5% of developers identify as female[1].

      I only meant to celebrate diversity, and give a fuck you to this techbro society. I hope more non-males tune in to Asahi Lina’s livestreams and realize to not give up an interest in programming because of their gender.

        Exactly this. And it shows a good example for other underrepresented genders that there are others too in the field and they are absolutely amazing; seriously in the top 1% of the devs.

        There is no proof to be a bias against non-male in the programming world. As far as I know, any country regardless of their gender equality effort up to a certain point have basically the same women to men ratio, which means it isn’t the action of some oppression or shaming. Worse, countries that are less egalitarian are a more equal ratio of women and men, like India, as opposed to a lot of western countries. It’ll never change unless you manage to brainwash a good amount of women into thinking they like programming, despite them not liking it.

          Sexism is not constrained to a single nationality, and the patriarchy is international.

          Maybe you’re not aware, but what you just posted was a misogynistic screed. Do better.
