does anyone still use social bookmarking?

I kinda miss going through some random guy's bookmarks

Social bookmarking is dead since all the good content is on unmentionable sites like here lol

Anyone mention this site to coworkers etc?

Okay, that part is great

Right, but what technology should we use to protect our privacy and freedom to edit code and inspect it?

Ok, but why do you blame Linux community for their ethics when you praise these kinds of software???

Yes and it uses the same pipe operator as Unix but instead of hooking up the file descriptors it lossily transcodes to UTF-16 and then back to UTF-8 which silently corrupts binary data.
I've only touched PowerShell incidentally but every feature I studied had some kind of edge case flaw like this that makes life harder than it needs to be, it's uncanny. They fixed it now but this one in particular is inexcusable: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_parsing?view=powershell-7.5#passing-arguments-that-contain-quote-characters
It's a shame because the ideas behind powershell seem sound.

godamn bro
i always like to say that windows is just a random 80's proprietary operating system with new software slapped on top of it
it just reeks of that, like it goes out of its way to be different from UNIX likes and either doesnt have features that operating systems should have or these features are inferior to what has been polished over the decades by open source devs

for decades CMD.exe was something straight up from the 70's (not even 80's) and when they finally replaced it they replaced it with this
like come the fuck on man, you took over personal computers by force, you have moral obligation to make good operating systems, you ignore it and noone gives a fuck
whatever
but you are also trying to push your trash into server operating systems market with this fucking shit as an interface?

It looks a lot like a lisp machine. Powershell is basically the Symbolics Genera Listener, only Powershell is based on the dotnet runtime instead of the lispm runtime.

did a quick fix with the elise model, just did UV unwrapping but did not take the time to configure vertex colour.
I had to make my own SSAO rather than use Unity's built-in SSAO. Took a minute to get it working with my surface shaders, but this is slightly more "crisp"

problem with Unity's built-in shit is that it's either some weird, ugly cascading gradient or blue noise. my own implementation basically steals the first "step" in calculating it, but leaves it as either on or off. their version caused a weird break-up when using it to mask textures in shaders.
not sure how this will affect other things in my pipeline, but overall I think it's quite a bit more stable.
also opened my substance designer project for the hatching texture and exported a version thats 512x512. a bit higher resolution than what I'm hoping to use, but it looks much better than the low-res exports I'd been using up until now.

I'm sorry anon, guess I need more info on your pipeline/scale to give good advice.

To shoot from the hip, if you're concerned about overdraw, you can always use a stencil buffer cull to ONLY draw to edges/partially transparent pixels on a 2nd pass (write stencil on first pass for partially transparent fragments, with OR/ADD/MAX whatever, then stencil test nonzero on the "antialiasing" pass), but that obviously has its own cost (and can have poor worst-case overdraw if you have a ton of sprites piled directly on top of eachother). Then again, if you're just drawing a ton of quads for sprites, it could be perfect, and it's been hardware accelerated for decades.

This is kinda janky, but maybe you fake TAA for sprites, specifically? Opaque pixels are normal, non-fully-transparent pixels are discard, partial transparency uses a pixel from the previous frame (instead of accumulating the pixel by a, 1-a)? Viability depends on how crazy your background is though, could be pretty noticeable with multiple sprites and a bright BG. On the other hand, could be pretty decent if you already render background to a separate buffer.

A "correct" solution without overdraw would be something like a muti-sample linked-list visibility buffer (fragment compositor/final rasterization stage sorts all nonzero geometry+primitive indices), but rewriting your entire pipeline probably ain't worth it.

Also, if you're just looking for a kludge and already have a depth-prepass, you could accumulate transparencies "behind" the foremost pixel, then blend the foremost pixel and not blend anything that's rasterized after. There's no guarantee you'll anti-alias anything but the front sprite, but it's literally free, and if you have quick partial sorting (like frustum culling), you'll get good results on average.

>>108096878
>To shoot from the hip, if you're concerned about overdraw, you can always use a stencil buffer cull to ONLY draw to edges/partially transparent pixels on a 2nd pass
I actually have the 2 pass method for my background as an option, but with depth test, with depth write turned off on the second pass. It only saves 20% in a heavily overdrawn scene, but now that I think about it, it doesn't have costly shaders yet, so it might actually get better. It's a special case though because the elements often have heavy blending.
Alpha to coverage is already great (except for large particles with low transparency which should be z sorted anyway and can concede the depth information) and it works with depth prepass if needed, though it's not always advised because of texture lookup. Probably the only way it could get better is by using geometry for early discards.
Thanks for the suggestions, the visibility buffer method sounds like something I'd like to try as an experimental renderer.

yeah I reread my post, I do look like an illiterate fucktard. I better watch that.

I understand what you are saying, and I think whatever replaces IP law should be a simple straight forward license/contract system and make it where people can't sell/transfer ownership, collect royalties or restrict others in private, or hold exclusive monopolies on repair rights. Software licenses should just be a simple contracts rather you choose to share the code or not, or how you can advertise the software in public.

My point is if current IP law never existed from the start the capitalist would have never been able to grow so much from abusing the system and we'd be in a world where the GPL could be a simple reputation based contract instead of legal IP.

fuck, i'm looking at used actives on ebay to save money.....but they're like refurbished or open-box, sometimes from the manufacturer. you think it's just hissing returns?

i live on the second floor(Yes, I am a NEET. How could you tell?) so I can't use a subwoofer. I really don't have the space either. It's just a ~12x10ft bedroom, probably in a corner even. no treatment. this guy says that treatment isn't necessary as long as your speakers are neutral and the walls are ~10ft away or less: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTshtgikT7Q

I bought a pair of LSR305s back in 2015. it was my first real audio purchase. one died after a day so i returned them and haven't had anything since. now I assume all speakers are like delicate finicky pieces of shit that will die immediately. i'm traumatized.

>>108097160
In that case I would go actives and not worry about it, you can try. People return shit all the time, it doesn't mean they're necessarily broken, just be ready to do the same if it comes to it.

Love passives but honestly a lot of the work is being done with the sub and amplifier setup. Roll the dice if you like, king. It sounds like you need something tiny anyway, upgrade later when you get a semblance of privacy or you'll end up getting big bookshelves that sound amazing cranked up with a sub but be unable to use them properly and end up disappointed.

Windows 11 + $MFT + shadow copies + ESP/system/reserved/recovery partitions + recycle bin prealloc + program caches + %TMP% + driver caches (especially large with Nvidia graphics) is already pushing 100 GB before you've even started using your computer for anything. Since you need to keep your SSD under 50% usage to not get runaway usage and write amplification, you should consider anything with only 256 GB of storage to essentially be a thin client. Truly horrific but that's what H1Bs, AI, and hardware cost-cutting get you.

There is something I really don't understand about tryingt o cram all your computing needs in one box hanging off one PSU creating a single point of failure. Aside from local LLMs there is very little that requires the compute and storage to be cocentrated in one box (yes I know about brainlet youtube grifters video editing nonsnse but let's get real here). Even if you concentrate CPU and RAM in one box (fine, ok) WHY OH WHY would you concentrate storage in one box at least 50% should be on a LAN disk array. I mean I built fuckhuge servers for a living for a decade absolute monsters that cost millions and the storage for those was not local as ide from the bare metal server but on fibre channel connected dual controller, dual psiu redundant disk arrays. What you are doing makes no sense. Are you working on large models? Even worse are you running those drives in one box as raid 1?

>>108096422
Azahar isn't stretching it, Azahar is outputting a 400x240 signal (native res for the 3DS top screen) and that's just what it looks like on a 4:3 CRT. The image is NOT being scaled digitally, in fact like I explained here >>108094370 to get it to the correct AR it either needs to be scaled or the TV's vertical size would need to be adjusted, but the TV I have doesn't have such an adjustment.

The setup is just a regular PC outputting over VGA to an adapter, then SCART into the TV. Software is Batocera (Linux distro) running Azahar.

Doesn't matter if it's individual programmers or people selling software. Because yes, there are still people selling software based on VB6 even when their competitors have moved onto web apps and the like.
