>>107835098No, as others have said. If you have the autism and patience for it, start with your own engine. For the love of God don't get memed into reading C&R C book or any books at all at the start, just pick a language (Odin is probably a good start) and try to get things done in steps (e.g. create a window, then draw a triangle, so on so forth) by looking up how each one is done (this is even easier nowadays since AI will give you the answer in 10 seconds whereas you used to have to google for it which was at least 10 times slower).If not, pick up Unity (easier) or Unreal (harder, but C++ will teach you somewhat real programming) and basically do the same: set a small goal, achieve it looking up the steps as they come, rinse repeat.

Hey what's the best way to deal with a scammer who took over someone's discord account? Long story short I had a really close friend on discord only (rookie mistake but I didn't want to push then for anything personal =3) And some scammers took over the account and are demanding 200 dollars . . . They first tried to scam me by pretending to be her to get me to give them money but it was obviously not the person so now their trying to scam me to maybe get info on contacting my friend :( It makes me really sad and I was wondering if any of you fine folk might know what to do . . . Im not sure what the proper way to figure this out is frens. . . >And I doubt they actually have the info; I feel like their just lying to try and scam more money as they tried a scam earlier Any nice hacker folks who hate scammers about and might know a trick or two that could be pulled =3This person was really a special person and I'd genuienly be a much sadder person if I never got to talk to them again.Like I reported them to discord and nothing happened so idk what to do frens . . .

>>107835678>It is decentralized.yeah, it is "decentralized" in the same way reddit, x and 4chan are "decentralized". you have to view it this way: reddit is an instance, X is an instance, 4chan is an instance etc. the only difference is you have one brand name (like mastodon) and centralized instances like mastodon.social, truth.social, mas.to etc.
>>107835814bro, i just used grok to make it more prettier. it is my real work!
>>107835512 no, Mastodon and Bluesky is good for being decentralized but the main servers of Mastodon are over flooded with people who all think exactlty the same. They just repost the same strongly convicted moral values they have over and over. Also supporting abolishing the EU on Mastodon is not seen as putting power in hands of the people but rather a "fascist dog whistle"

I will just use win10 until win12 or whatever comes out, by that time they should realize that nobody wants AI slop just like nobody wanted tablet UI in win8. In case they won't I will just switch to Apple.
Let's get a BSD thread going. Are you using BSD on any of your machines and why did you choose it over linux? I installed FreeBSD on my thinkpad last night and it seems to work well, but what can I do with this that I cannot do on linux? So far the only interesting feature I've found is ZFS. Don't get me wrong, it feels almost like linux and the pkg-package manager is nice and fast. I guess I might as well keep using this as my OS on my laptop, but I fail to see any benefits when compared to linux. Maybe if you like jails more than VM's and containers, then that's one interesting feature for sure because AFAIK jails can be way more secure than containers. Oh and the IceWM package seems to be nicely themed for FreeBSD, so points for that too, overall packages feel more precisely tailored than on most linux distros.
>>107832616Wow what an absolute cuck
>>107832735>OpenbsdIts core focus is on security and correctness.
>>107832735It depends on what you value personallyFreeBSD has better performance (comparable to Linux), better hw and sw support, more devs On the other hand, openbsd is smaller, easier to manage top to bottom, supposedly better code quality, and strong focus on security which translate in "less features" (eg no Bluetooth)If I had to make it short, FreeBSD is an industry grade BSD trying to compete with Linux on servers but as with Linux, but it also works well as a desktop operating system. Openbsd is a bsd OS focusing on *practical* security research but also thought to be used as a desktop os by its devsAlso philosophically, FreeBSD is like Linux in the sense that their kernel are meant to support customization and experimentation while openbsd discourage customization of the kernel although you can obviously do it if you know what you are doing
dead os general
>>107834620Cheers, sounds like it's right down my alley then, FreeBSD that is. Currently pretty much everything except audio works, I followed https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/multimedia/ but can't get the audio to play through speakers or headphones even though everything should be setup as should.

so what programs do you use to actually program in?
On my Linux box I program in vim or sometimes Kate. I like that vim is light enough to open quickly.On my windows machine I use VS code. I don't know why exactly it ended up this way exactly and I don't have a good reason for using different editors on different operating systems.

Use case for Vsync? I never seem to notice frame tearing in-game and every time I do turn Vsync on I can feel input lag.
>>107835673Because the GPU needs a buffer of ~0.25ms, and that 0.25ms changes with your screen's refresh rate.-3 is fine for 60hz and even 120hz or 144hz, but going up to 165hz+ and especially 200+ you really do want to start calculating the proper cap using the formula >>107834934>1000 / 240 = 4.1(6)ms frame time>4.16 + 0.3 = 4.46ms frame time for your limit>1000 / 4.46 = 224 FPS limit to setSo for a theoretical 360hz screen you do1000 / 360 = 2.7(7)ms frame time2.77 + 0.3 = 3.07ms frame time to limit1000 / 3.07 = 325.7 FPS limit to set (so 235 or 326).
>>107835733>235325
>>107835733Why does the range need to be so large? Are FPS caps that fucking terrible?
>>107835755If you hit your monitor's maximum refresh rate (e.g., exactly 240 FPS on a 240Hz screen), G-SYNC stops controlling the timing. If V-Sync is "On" in your driver settings, the system will switch to V-Sync behavior, causing a massive spike in input lag as frames are forced to wait in a queue.limiters are not perfect. They work on averages. A "240 FPS" limit might actually output one frame at 4.1ms and the next at 4.2ms. Without a buffer, those slight variations (jitter) can push a frame just past the refresh window, triggering that momentary V-Sync lag.As monitor refresh rates get higher, the time window for each frame gets exponentially smaller.At 60Hz, one frame takes 16.6ms.At 144Hz, one frame takes 6.9ms.At 240Hz, one frame takes 4.16ms.At 360Hz, one frame takes 2.77ms.At 480Hz, one frame takes only 2.08ms.etcThe old "minus 3 FPS" rule worked well for 60Hz or 144Hz because it naturally created a large enough time buffer. However, at 360Hz or 500Hz, 3 FPS is a tiny fraction of the total timing. A 0.3ms buffer is a constant time-based safety margin that scales with any refresh rate. It ensures that the GPU always finishes the frame at least 0.3ms before the monitor is ready to scan the next one, providing enough "breathing room" for the natural jitter of the CPU/GPU.If you use Nvidia Reflex it'll do this automatically, but setting a global FPS cap at this limit in your Nvidia app (or Nvidia control panel) settings ensures even games without Reflex support will be properly capped low enough to ensure consistent G-sync.
>>107835802if limiters are not perfect then why the fuck bother using them? just get a higher hz display
