#Computing standards

[bluemanedhawk]

I want to make this piece of software. I want this piece of software to be a good piece of software. As part of making it a good piece of software, i want it to be fast. As part of making it fast, i want to be able to paralellize what i can. As part of that paralellization, i want to use compute shaders. To use compute shaders, i need some interface to graphics processors. After determining that Vulkan is not an API that is meant to be used by anybody, i decided to use OpenGL instead. In order for using OpenGL to be useful, i need some way to show the results to the user and get input from the user. I can do this by means of the Wayland API. In order to bridge the gap between Wayland and OpenGL, i need to be able to create an OpenGL context where the default framebuffer is the same as the Wayland surface that i've set to be a window. I can do this by means of EGL. In order to use EGL to create an OpenGL context, i need to select a config for the context.

Unfortunately, it just so happens that on my Linux partition, the implementation of EGL does not support the config that i would need for this piece of software.

Therefore, i am going to write this piece of software for 9front instead, using my 9front partition.

This is what the ending of "Back To Reality" looked like to me, honestly <33

Hard drives went from costing $200,000 per GB in 1980 to $0.03 per GB in 2014.

I know someone was fighting to the DEATH for that K-word here. Tooth and nail. The whole darn crew might have been going for it. There's a take out there where Ryan Potter says "kill". That was in the storyboard. That was in the script. You know it was there, because that's The Moment.

But...they lost that fight.

They lost it and I salute them for fighting that battle.

Wishing a (severely belated) Happy Birthday to @deadlypastelcutie!

A few weeks ago, her art account @deadlypastelcutieart was falsely flagged, virtually hiding her artwork and creative ideas from the masses. I definitely recommend giving her a follow! Her art, including her Spy vs Spy fanart, is phenomenal.

the ethos of ai is not good. the way it drains the environment is worse. the way large corps tout LLM models that turn out to be human analysed data is also rampant. Don’t use ChatGPT or deepseek or anything else don’t give them what you have so valiantly earned and honed as they do not value you

So the good news is whatever safety measures are part of my computer charger worked! The bad news is it is no longer a functional charger. It’s a little too melted to work

People who call Ganondorf a potential "techbro" don't understand the fundamental difference between a "techbro" and "a technical person". A techbro would entrust their life to technology, because having tech control every aspect of your life is the "future". A technical person who really understands how software and hardware work, and especially how exploitable it is, would not allow a single thing to be automated without ensuring they understand who has control over it, and more importantly ensuring they have sufficient control over it.
