That one is not at all unclear to regular readers of phoronix. Would you expect them to spell out what a "GPU" is as well? No harm in explaining it for others, but don't blame the author.

DRM has a much more commonplace meaning that has also been a contentious topic for FOSS development.

I level the same complaint about online newspapers that cover local politics without bothering to specify where the hell they are. 'If you already knew then you'd plainly know.' Okay, what if I fucking don't? How does one divine this information? If I search for Greenville or Jackson County, is your podunk locale the first thing that comes up?
