>>107552317Listen up, OP. The easy energy is gone. For a little while, humans found dense fuel that built up over millions of years - coal, oil, gas. You put in a tiny bit of work and got a fuckton of energy back. That extra energy paid for everything cool: big cities, planes, cheap food, neetbux, video, hookups, conventions, all the shit people cry about losing now. That surplus is drying up fast. What's left is harder to get: deeper wells, fracking, tar sands. Every new barrel costs more energy to pull out than the last one did. Regular oil (the good stuff) already peaked years ago. We're faking it with expensive low-quality crap that barely breaks even. Soon there won't be enough spare energy for anything fun. Planes too expensive. no travel. cons and meetups die. No more welfare or neetbux, everyone being slave just to eat. People get "apathetic" because the energy budget is shrinking and the body/brain correctly stops wasting calories on hopeless bullshit. This isn't because people are weak or society is degenerate. It's just physics. Living things blow up when there's a huge energy pile to burn, then crash when it's gone. We got a one-time jackpot of ancient sunlight. Jackpot almost empty now. No voting, no "just work harder", "get off the internet retard" "explore our passions and indulge in our hobbies in the good old way" fixes it. Solar and wind are weak diffuse shit. they can't give you back the giant surplus that built the modern world. The graph hit the top, now going down. We're past the top. Everything that needed extra energy vanishes quietly. just less and less until it's gone. The good times weren't forever. Account at zero soon. hopes/dreams stop. That's it.

>>107558400Can't compare because I started with Vulkan 2 months ago without any prior experience in any graphics API.What I can say is that with newer versions it's a lot easier to make it sane programming instead of whatever archaic mess it used to be before. E.g. VkDeviceAddress.
>>107558400>>107558515Africa does not allow Vulkan because it requires new, expensive GPUs.Also Vulkan requires 5000 lines of boilerplate code just to draw a single triangle.
>>107558515Wtf when did they release Vulkan 2?
>>107558172>Chud, what is the use of making a video game if you don't know the tech behind it? I mean what made games awesome? We already had movies for example. The games were, and still are, black magic of computer graphics and computer tech in general. The real value of a game is always based on the value of video game technology.I do know the tech behind it though, I actually know how to thoroughly use the engine (actually 2 engines at this point) and have no issues doing most of the work. It's the real technical code that requires actual talent and long term skill that I struggle at. Nothing is black magic, I just have trouble getting myself to learn to that skill level.

/p/haggot here. Is the overpriced memory here to stay? My laptop is due for an upgrade should I do it now or wait till the prices go down?
>>107560749its here to stay, RAMlets will bite the bullet until at least, the next decade.
>>1075609418GB hasn't been above ramlet status for at least a decade. 16GB is a comfortable minimum, and 32GB is for when you want a little extra. 64GB is tryhard, but not to the point of excess. 128GB is for if you run a server or do gens or whatnot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, how could this happen to one of the best browsers out there?
>>107560111>don't talk about firefox in a thread about a firefox derivativeYou're not my boss.
not my problemo, i use esr
>>107553280ask Grok
>>107556879Yeah that's a fair point, I don't remember the justification given for the entire process in the beginning. I do remember discussion around it however where the dev did explicitly state that his intention is not to make the most privacy-focused browser and if that is what you are looking for to use a different Firefox fork.

Funny, I was super excited setting up my MacBook. I've also had loads of fun setting up a FreeBSD system.Linux is just mundane, sometimes frustrating.If I had to install a Windows now after 10 years of not doing so, I'd just be sad.I get you anon, it's nice to be excited about technology. Last MacOS update didn't evoke any positive emotion in me either. It kind of sucked.
>>107559373I'd say the Windows 95 launch was more culturally significant.
>>107559426>wintrash was always turboshit on releaseThis. People forget how fast hardware was moving in the 90's still. A 2-3 year old computer was basically worthless, new OS meant you needed a whole new computer. Trying to install it on your old one was a hateful experience. That level of hardware velocity hasn't been the case in over a decade. I think the only genuinely crap consumer Windows release was Win8. No one talks about it. And maybe Win CE. >>107559427lol>>107559458Querying LLMs like ChatGPT has massively lowered the headache of dealing w/ Linux systems.
>>107559373Windows licenses used to be Microsoft's bread and butter, and they made Windows good enough that they captured 95% of the market, then everyone had a version of Windows that did everything they needed already, so Microsoft started fixing what wasn't broken and forcing people to upgrade to newer versions of Windows whenever and wherever possible.Then you had multiple versions of Windows competing with each other, and the end result was MS losing the fight and supporting multiple OSes a decade beyond the time they officially stopped selling them. It's in their interest to make as much money from Windows as possible and keep its market share as high as possible. They know the only way to get people to move to the Windows they want them to be on is to give it out free and sell data. They make far more money with stuff like SaaS subscriptions, Azure, and cloud services now.
XP was the first version with ".net passports" the prototype of Microsoft Accounts, it was only for MSN messenger at first but the modern account framework descends from it.

>>107556418Japan continued WW2 because Hirohito was an autistic scholar more Interesting in studying than actually ruling. He literally left entire country to be run by his advisors and generals that were happy to continue wars because as high-ranking military personnel, entire budget for war was funneled through them. Japanese population is very class-based, rule-abiding and just happy to do their job so nobody was willing to raise stink when they were slowly starved to death just to continue fights.It's exactly why the two nukes from USA were kind of a blessing for Japanese population - this opened Hirohito's eyes to the fact that Japan was in fucking ruin and there was no way that they could resist third nuke and bloody ass invasion.
>>107556500They've spent far more on this crap than all the big "never profitable" 00s ideas combined. And don't forget that many of those never ended up making any money in the end.

The best and brightest C programmers agree: Rust belongs in the Linux kernel!https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/This board tries it's best to portray C and Rust as polar opposites, but in the end they serve the same purpose. Good C programmers have always respected Rust programmers and vice versa. Only the fizzbuzzers and jeets want a language war between C and Rust.Why do they want it? Because if you split the systems language ecosystem, there will be less competition to their electron/react garbage (see Windows 11 start menu)Everyone except Indians agrees that anything written in Rust or C is much better than electron garbage. That is why it is important to be friends and allies, not enemies

Any fellow flangezos still around? Haven’t posted in awhile but damn i’m still content as ever with gate pagpag POS and deep insertion.Even after using equalizer APO(which is actually amazing) on some shallow insert cheap POS, it still isn’t the same. “Better” extension and more bass but not as smooth.Gateymotics are still just literally…perfect. It’s like strapping an HD650 to your head in terms of naturalness tone and timbre but with real bass presence and actual treble extension.I’m convinced after EQ(which does indeed work *very* well) that there is no such thing as better any more, just different flavors
