Comp sci student, don't want to have to collect a thousand different notebooks alongside my x220. Is it time to get an iPad?

I recommend pencil and paper for math-heavy classes. I'm not one of these retvrn retards, but I found it to be the best solution. Live-LaTeXing your notes is possible and I was able to do that, but I found that thinking about LaTeX distracted me from the content of the lecture.

I often notice that a good portion of my classmates take digital notes. They copy everything attentively, yet it makes no difference with regards to actually understanding what they've copied. This is reflected by the fact that they don't perform any better on exams. Though I suppose this could just be confounded with the possibility that they believe that copying the notes verbatim is enough for them learn something. Might be sufficient for helping them know what to do on assignments, but it's gone come exams and the final.

Personally, I find myself retaining information better when I'm studying on my own and working on a whiteboard. It's easy to just find yourself copying the textbook essentially word for word, and knowing I'll just erase everything forces me to just write what's important. I end up tossing my notes anyway.

Dollar store notebooks feel like shit to type on, and sometimes smell like ass--could just be a homeless Amerishart who wiped their ass on the notebook due to lack of toilet paper. Why the fuck do Americans cut down all these trees for, only to produce shitty paper?

OneNote

you don't even need a pen/tablet if you have a good enough mouse to free-hand the equations, and its built-in "ink to math" is really good at figuring out what you've scribbled and turning it into a formula you can then copy and paste into a document, or keep it in your notes

and the obvious advantage of digital notes over pen and paper is that you can easily move stuff around to better organize it

I've used it to test it out, but i'm just a guy learning how to do gamedev, not a big studio.
I only went for ktx because I had managed to load some gltf files, but decoding PNG textures with stbi was taking long enough to be a little annoying.
I agree the interface is kind of unclear at first and there are no good examples to get started. But in the end, all I really needed was just ktxTexture2_CreateFromMemory. I looked at the internals of ktx code and the C function is really just calling a method in the Texture2 C++ class. It seemed kind of insane, but at least the C interface is easy to use.

If you've never done texture compression, there is lots of similar sounding terminology which can be confusing, but actually using it is not that bad. You need your ktx textures to be in one of the BasisU encodings (UASTC (slightly bigger but higher quality) or ETC1s (slightly smaller but much worse quality, pretty much only for mobile)).
GPUs cannot use these formats directly, they're intended to be transcoded to different compressed formats that the GPU can actually use.
I don't know which graphics api you're using, but ASTC is not available on opengl for example. Let's say you want your texture to use BC7 compression, then you'd call ktxTexture2_TranscodeBytes(texture, KTX_TTF_BC7_RGBA, 0). Assuming you have opengl 4 functions you'd do glTextureStorage(tex_id, mipmap_levels, GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_BPTC_UNORM, width, height) to create the texture.
Note that you can use the toktx tool with --genmipmap. Then ktx gives you all mipmapped textures for all levels (starting with the smallest). You probably shouldn't call glGenerateMipmaps because that is insanely slow on compressed textures. Instead, do something like this:
pixels = decoded_bytes + length;
for level {
pixels -= width * height;
glCompressedTextureSubImage2D(texture, level, 0, 0, width, height), GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_BPTC_UNORM, level_size, pixels);
width /= 2;
height /= 2;

The internet is evolving rather than collapsing, and the rise of AI-generated content will push platforms toward stronger identity systems, provenance tracking, and moderation tools that restore trust. As models flood the web with synthetic material, reputable websites will differentiate themselves by verifying contributors, disclosing AI use, and maintaining clear editorial oversight. Users will migrate toward these curated ecosystems, much like the early web’s return to smaller, community-centered spaces but with better safeguards and transparency. Instead of a graveyard, the internet could become a layered network where authenticity, accountability, and human judgment are once again the markers of value.

Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on
(http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). TNot owned by corpos, not under
govt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyed
by all.

Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http,
usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards .
