Yeah sure, I'll definitely believe 1 person using Linux on 1 device for a week vs myself (also 1 person) who has used over a dozen distributions on a dozen different devices over the past 10+ years.

>>107852045
When it comes to overall OS stability one can only use anecdotal evidence. It's not like there's some long running objective stability benchmark when it comes to Linux desktops. And it's not like Ubuntu, Arch, Manjaro and Debian don't have multiple articles explaining that a system upgrade has completely bricked devices or introduced critical system breakage.
So yes, I'm speaking from the experience of myself and half a dozen people I personally know who have used Linux for a while now. That anon is only using one random guy on the internet as "evidence".

I see exactly what you're doing. But in case you're not being maliciously disingenuous here and are actually this unintelligent, at least try thinking about this for more than 1 second.

You've only shown 1 instance of an atomic/immutable system breaking (for an unspecified reason?) and you use it as your only proof that "atomic distributions are unstable compared to non-atomic ones". You're clearly appealing to the popularity of a youtuber and giving more weight to your claim of instability just because some random ass video got 400k views. Okay, let's play that game. Linus from LTT has broken a non-atomic distribution by simply trying to install Steam. So by your logic, non-atomic distributions are 10x less stable because a more relevant celebrity got 4.5M views.

You're also completely ignoring the fact that technologically speaking the whole point of atomic updates and immutable systems is to ensure they're less prone to breaking compared to the regular clusterfuck operating systems which don't have any safeguards. Oh and let's also ignore the fact that SteamOS and Android (the most popular Linux OS) are provably more stable than "standard" distributions even if the end users mod them quite a bit.

It's funny how Aero is remembered so fondly, where as in reality when it came out it was way too taxing for like 95% of systems. People ended up turning all of the features off or just used XP instead.
Sure the style looks nice and futuristic, but from a practical point of view it was a big miscalculation on Microsoft's part putting such a resource hungry style on by default.
I think this is one of the main reasons why Vista was so hated, it was just too heavy to run.
Back then the computer enthusiast circles were so much smaller, that even many of the more computer savvy people didn't really understand much about GPUs and CPU was just something where more gigahertz better.
People used random prebuilts with crappy specs that were more fit for the year 2000 than +2007 and back then CPU progress was staggering. Things got outdated really fast back then.

But then again the love for Aero is less about the style itself and more about the era and how much better things were back then.
Besides the current aesthetics are so fucking terrible, that you could pick almost any style from our history and compared to the modern soulless flat globalist prison aesthetic, it's infinitely more preferable.

This thread makes my head hurt.. but to those in the thread of the opinion that what is present here is sacrilege what do you suggest those of us who don't want to learn in the conventional ways do to create fun projects without using LLMs reading documentation only takes one so far, using LLMs to learn a means of doing something seems to me to be a fair use of the tool. Let's say I wanted to write something cool not some basic calculator or any other lame baby's first project, the options available to me are stumble in the dark, or tutorial hopping no? And if OP was to do either of these things he would probably abandon the project before seeing any of the fruits of his meager labour. I suppose my question is what's the point? If the LLM helps him to get to where he wants to be sooner what's the harm?

Pixel art is an art style, not a technological description. A render of a vector graphic onto a raster canvas doesn't make the vector graphic raster.

>>107851947
What all "traditional" examples of voxel rendering have in common is that the rendering technique derives from the idea that a 3D volume is a collection of discrete and uniform atomic elements, as opposed to a collection of surfaces to be approximated using polygons. Those "2.5D" engines that use colored spans are still rooted in that approach. They just introduce all kinds of constraints and quality concessions for the sake of performance.
>>
>>107852161
>3D volume is a collection of discrete and uniform atomic elements,
Something which >>107848290 doesn't have, while minecraft and every other mesh-based voxel renderer such as OP's does.
>as opposed to a collection of surfaces to be approximated using polygons
Let me humor you this. What if you instead extract the surface voxels as just points and upload them to the GPU. You then render that pointcloud using billboards that perfectly covers the voxels, and then crop those billboards in a fragment shader to precisely fit the voxel's shape. Is that a real voxel renderer? No polygons or surfaces are involved.
This is a real technique btw https://www.jcgt.org/published/0007/03/04/paper.pdf

>unable to come up with any original thought or to respond to my points with anything but appeal to perceived authority.
It's a useless argument about what a technical term refers to, you absolute cretin. Settling this matter doesn't require any deep thought, only accounting for how the term came into wide circulation. That fucking Comanche game alone accounts for a good 50% of that and Ken Silverman probably accounts for another 30.

What does require a bit of thinking is to realize WHY they used to call engines like Voxel Space "voxel rendering" when the only 3D thing about them is the impression they create, but you're getting filtered by this even after having it spelled out.

Maybe I need to dumb it down further for you? They called this stuff voxel rendering because the way you arrive at such techniques is, you start from the idea of full-fledged volume rendering and then ask yourself "what corners can I cut to make this run on consumer hardware?", so you arrive at ideas like a heightmapped terrain being a special case of the general problem - one that allows you to render batch voxels into columns and reduce columns into spans.

I don't care about your 105 IQ autist philosophizing about fragment shaders and GPUs.

Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
