>>107739824> Compositing is only an issue if you can't disable itOnce compositing becomes the norm, it changes how software is written, thus even if you can disable it, you can't really. Before compositing was a thing, software drew directly to the front buffer with accelerated drawing apis. This allowed for an unrivaled responsiveness. But now all software draws to offscreen buffers.
>>107742923I don't know, there is more to that.For example Xfce4 feels sluggish compared to Windows. Only after I changed to plain window manager and I'm still using Picom in-between the certain heaviness has gone away.I think gtk and some other stuff is just way too heavy for what they are suposed to be.
Reminder to muh bubble retards that AI is indispensable and the new default way to use computers.
That doesn't make it not a bubble. Every single person on earth needs to spend about $30/month on AI for OpenAI's valuation to be correct.

>>107742294Yes I did but that wasn't the reason either, turns out I just had to spam more cryptic switches so that it wouldn't try to 'fix' my path, amazing software
>>107741498Artificial leather disintegrates after some time. Sometimes it lasts less than a year, sometimes 5+, depends on quality. If you want maximum longevity, you're better off going for velour, gel + fabric, or real leather.
>>107742472A game engine, reduced to the most fundamentals, is>input processing code>graphics rendering code>an update loop that takes user input, runs pluggable game logic, and renders the graphicsStart with this and then you can add features.Many simpler game engines focus a specific type or subset of game and provide a lot of utilities for making things easier. E.g. RPG Maker only allows you to make 2D sprite-based RPGs, but provide a very featureful framework for making your RPG work, with built-in logic for typical RPG UIs, battles, dialogue, NPCs and 2D world movement, etc. etc. Factorio is arguably a game engine where you can define a very specific type of factory game (the official Factorio game is internally basically a set of data files for the engine in exactly the same format as you'd write for a mod, it's even called "Base mod" internally).That doesn't mean you have to make a purpose-built or 2D-only game engine, but if you can provide special logic to make a specific type of game easier to build, it'll be a differentiating factor. Plus if you want to make your own game, it only makes sense to tailor your engine to make your own job easier.If you're trying to make a very generic engine you're basically competing with Unity or Unreal and the like.

>>107743089>as opposed to what exactly?Linux, Windows, Mac?FreeBSD because it still gets used seriously, if Netflix haven't migrated.OpenBSD serves a niche so people actually care about its development and contribute. it gives the best out of box desktop experience imo despite being slower in some ways and having less compatibility than FreeBSD. that and HardenedBSD are the only *BSDs I would seriously consider using. (though I haven't followed HBSD news and updates)
>>107743233>if Netflix haven't migratedlinux is too slow for that to happen
>>107743233>it gives the best out of box desktop experienceEvery OpenBSD fag who shits out this statement does actually not use the out of box desktop FVWM from 1995.However, I could use NetBSD without any problems, without needing to change the desktop environment.
>>107743233So NetBSD is dead but hardenedBSD isn't?
>>107743254we need some real benchmarks to say this. I remember Linux being faster than FreeBSD. I don't think FreeBSD has been faster than Linux for quite some time. All the new development and research goes into Linux, which makes it automatically the most optimized because you know... it gets used in the real world.I remember that Netflix patched FreeBSD kernel to move networking shit that is relevant to their use case directly into the kernel. I think it was called ktls for kernel tls offloading. maybe that was more economically or technically feasable to do in FreeBSD rather than Linux. So it doesn't automatically mean FreeBSD is faster than Linux at networking operations.You can naively think that something that has less and cleaner code must necessarily be faster but that's not the case. Musl libc is slower than Glibc for example.>>107743275yes I didn't like the default settings and look of FVWM (and it was the maintainance version I think) but I can guess why they still stick with it. I switched over to dwm immediately as usual.>>107743303HardenedBSD is FreeBSD so it gets all the development. Actually I wouldn't use HardenedBSD either.

>>107738053X13 is not the same but none of them are. "Not the same" in what way? Even the X280 is not the same as the X220/30.I believe the X13 is still closer in footprint to the X220 versus the X380/90.>>107738064https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad_X_seriesVarious feature changes over the years too but this will tell you basic dimensions, displays, and ram capacities.>>107739759Imo that's the most likely culprit.

youtube is so fucking shit i get a smoother and faster experience pasting the video link in mpv
>>107741666no thanks, satan
>>107740129I am forced to use RSS for subscriptions and mpv to watch them because Youtube is so trash. I have a txt file where I paste all the videos in the morning and open one mpv that plays those as a playlist when I press my macro button. Youtube is so fucking trash it even broke (404 or 500) RSS feed so now I use some invidious instance for RSS and then I replace the urls with one press in the txt file to point to actual youtube urls before I open them.
>>107740129the ambient mode switch in the settings, which is turned automatically on often in dark mode, lags like crazy. I can't believe some jeet there decided, let me sample ALL the video for my backlight instead of the corners or some abstraction. unbelievable.
>>107741100>"just pay">still see sponsors>see random agenda propaganda on the site>videos lag>RSS is still broken>shorts are broken>can't skip anything automatically>5-12 hour videos stop buffering>channel page banner is flickering>can't hide members only videosAnd list goes on. Alternative is to NOT PAY and just use uBlock Origin + SponsorBlock + invidious RSS + mpv + yt-dlp and basically have universal experience that is always same, doesn't matter if you are watching Kick VOD, Youtube Short or listening music. Always works, always acts and looks the same and you only have the FUCKING VIDEO AND NOTHING ELSE.
How do you bypass the age verification videos?I got back into dabbing so I just need to watch a few jewtube videos since they have a monopoly on all online videos but of course they make them all 18+ and its impossible to make a joogle acct these days. I avoid joogle at all costs Im very satisfied with my results even tho I still (rarely) watch jewtube sometimes. Theres just too much on jewtubeYou cannot make joogle acct without giving them phone number/dob/ssn/birth certificate so they can track you everywhere. I need spare burner phone or something just to watch dabs on jewtube

Zoomers do not know what a screen saver is
>>107742976Many monitors take a not insignificant amount of time to turn back on. This means the blank screen saver still has a place. Some people like their monitor to quickly go blank when left unattended, say in 1 minute. But it would be annoying to have the monitor turn off at 1 minute, monitor turn-off would be usually set to 5-10 minutes.
>>107740150I'm a moomer and I didn't know you could do that.

Nobody's going to learn the bash terminal unless they are some basement dweller who lives on their PC. Even people who use their PC for work aren't going to fuck around with stuff like that.

are KOSS headphones any good? or are they influencer slop?
>>107734191I bought Koss Porta Pro headphones in the 1990s. My brother "borrowed" them and never returned them so I bought another pair in the late 2000s.The cable on the new ones I bought was extremely thin and flimsy and broke after just a few months.I took the pair my brother permanently loaned back when I was visiting him some years after that. Those have a much thicker more solid cable and they still work.I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING ANYTHING PRODUCED BY KOSS IN THIS CENTURY.
>>107734191>KOSSFrom my experiences they tend to be cold and sterile. KOSS makes headphones for recording studios, not for listening to music. (Of course YMMV)
