proprietary software is not inherently evil. There is nothing wrong with for example an indie game dev working on a game for months and then releasing it and wanting payment for it. Literally nothing wrong with that. Yes he has to keep the source code hidden and maybe even obfuscate the binary because if he didn't then people would just crack or download it for free. Yes he may need to put restriction checks in so you can only run it on one PC. Nothing here is evil, you are free to not buy it.Imagine you called a banana farmer evil because after spending weeks and weeks harvesting his banana trees he was charging for them at the local market. Imagine telling him he should allow people to go up to his banana stand and just take as many bananas as they want without paying. Imagine trying to claim he could techincally still make money by selling the bananas for money, he would just also have to allow people to take them free of charge at the same time. Morons.

>>107645706this is only possible because retards dont know its open source, because the majority of games are not. If open source was the standard like libretards want it to be, then everyone would know you could get every software for free & never choose to pay
Imagine a web browser written from scratch in 2026. Not using html, css, javascript, but a new one written with the hindsight of all the years since those languages were created. All retarded historical baggage is discarded. In particular it can show websites stored on torrents, making web hosting potentially free. Website code can run locally, sandboxed, and can be stored indefinitely, becoming a downloaded program.Would this be an epic win or no?
imagine my fist your face
unless you take it to your own hands, no one's making that, and even then comes the issue of adoption
>>107644921>Imagine a web browser written from scratch in 2026. Not using html, css, javascript, but a new one written with the hindsight of all the years since those languages were created.Yes... yes, I see. It's all CLI-based with no embeddable media and no client-side scripting. Perfection.
>>107644991I think in 99% of potential futures where this happens, the people behind it ruin adoption by being autists who don't understand the end user, and treat it more like a fun project than something to be used by normal people. That said there is no better argument for nuking humanity out of existence than anything modern web-adjacent, and that includes the browser, so who knows about that other 1%.
>Imagine a web browser written from scratch in 2026so its buggy as shit and isnt compatible with lots of libraries.
why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
>>107640696CPython is about 100x slower on average than Rust per Computer Language Benchmark GamesPyPy is about 2.8x faster on average than CPython per their own benchmarks, but whether this says anything about PyPy vs Rust is anyone's guessPCIe max theoretical bandwidth is well documented but the (very few) benchmark results out there suggest you'll get around half in practiceI don't really know what modern engines do for vertices, I would expect something like float16 x/y/z/u/v and 2 u8s for compressed normalsIf your mesh is a manifold with a reasonably low Euler characteristic you'll have about 2 vertices per triangle, and triangles are usually encoded as 3 u8sYou can do the math from there, like for an RTX 4090 (PCIe4 x16) you can maybe expect 15GB/s, so about 582Ktris/sec if my retard math is correctBut erm, this is all meaningless averages and it depends, ok sweetie?

Irix solved all of these issues decades ago. It's funny to watch how impossible it is to create a custom gtk theme from scratch. Default gtk.css file has 10,000+ lines in it. How does that even happen?

I want a "smart" thermostat, but seems like they all are rather dumb, having their "smarts" in the cloud. And fuck that shit.Does Chang offer a smart thermostat that works offline? I just wanna program some stuff like >heat up to 23° from 0600 to 0700>stay at 18° from 0700 to 1700>heat up to 24° from 1700 to 2200>cool down to 16° from 2200 to 0600and a>gimme full power nao!!!button.Wouldn't mind doing that shit with a d-pad on the thermostat or per app and bluetooth, if it's an open standard and I could use some FOSS app on my PC, should the phone app stop being supported.

>>107640773The problem with storing songs offline is that it takes up a lot of hard disk space. The reason people subscribe to Spotify is not only because they don't want to spend a lot on hard disk space, but also because people get bored with songs quickly and want to move on to as many new songs as possible.

>>107633733Hello anons.This was caused by Microsoft replacing highly skilled and high-IQ developers from the first-world countries into unskilled, low-IQ developers outsourced from the third-world countries. It was called DEIand back then in the early 2020s, during the development of Windows 11. Microsoft silently removed the ability to move taskbar from the top, left, right or bottom and the users were not happy about it!Windows 10 has ability to move taskbar from the top, bottom, left or right!
Windows has always been a good Kernel with a mediocre userland team, but the userland team has been declining sharply since it peaked with Windows 7. The current crop of userland devs seem to be particularly dogshit
>>107644943dei, it's not the issue per se. the way i see it, the corpos (not just ms) are using dei as nothing but a mere excuse to outsource developers and subsequently underpay them, cutting as much corners as possible. all of this is enabled by their status of basically near-monopolies.additionally i'd like to note that corpos don't even use dei as an excuse anymore, now they are just silent about it yet they still outsource cheap labor in the shape of immigrants. i find it amusing really, especially with people like elon musk, being the zealots of everything right wing, being one of the figures that made rightism THE CURRENT THING, the same kind of rightism that frowns upon the very concept of diversity, equity and inclusion, suddenly defend h1b visas.
