It’s hard to imagine that Notepad of all things has now been enshittified. On Windows, I only ever use Notepad++, but regular ol’ Notepad has been a staple of Windows almost since the beginning. It truly feels like they’ve finished peeling away what little good remained of what Windows used to be.

51·11 months agoSpecifically the “laundering” kind, if I had to guess.
I got a Framework 16 a few months ago and I’ve been loving it. Super happy these guys managed to make this concept of a repairable laptop work. Though, one thing I wish is for them to make a storage case for the expansion cards. I’ve built up a little collection of them and obviously filled up all 6 slots pretty quickly. I’d like a better place to put the unused cards than in a random drawer.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and WindowsEnglish
12·1 year agoVulkan is designed to be closer to the metal than something like DirectX 11 or OpenGL, which makes the API more explicit and difficult to use. This means it requires a great deal more care to use properly. And to complicate matters more, subtle bugs that are very difficult to debug are very easy to introduce.
But, this applies mostly to devs who build their own tech. Most of them these days are just using 3rd party engines like Unity or Unreal, so it comes down to whether or not the person making the game decides to check the box to use Vulkan and just how good those render backends are. Engine developers of 3rd party tech have to build their stuff to be as generic as possible. That’s likely gonna add a lot of bloat that might not be fully optimized for every game developer’s use case.
TLDR: It’s tough and time consuming for someone writing it themselves. And for the ones who aren’t, they’re having to place a lot of trust in a renderer that is probably a black box and might be buggy/slow.

So cute! One of my cats does this too. I call it her business casual pose because it always makes her look like she wants to give me a quarterly purrformance review.

5·2 years agoPart II is really polarizing in the community, but I personally loved it more than the first. However, I found it to be far more depressing. YMMV, but it’s worth keeping in mind that you’ll want to be emotionally prepared going into it.

I’d take my odds with the bottom track.
I’ve been in the honesty camp for the last decade, however I’ve come to accept that I’ll never love myself. I still have my anger, but I focus it inward where it belongs.
I made this trade once upon a time. 0/5 stars, would not recommend.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Biden just set a big new climate goal. Can the US achieve it?English4·2 years agoWe can do a lot of things. However, we won’t because it’s not profitable and doesn’t cause enough needless suffering to the people whom our wealthy elites dislike.
Well, they would certainly know one when they see it.
I really hope schools are taking a zero tolerance policy with this. Kids need to learn that shit is absolutely not ok.

5·2 years agoMorrowind was always my favorite Elder Scrolls game, but I’m probably biased since it was my first. The tech, while good for its time, was always the #1 thing holding it back for modern times. Hadn’t heard about OpenMW, but now I’ll have to check it out.
I found out one of mine has a thing for flour tortillas one day after I had just bought a fresh 10 pack, left it still sealed on the counter and a few hours later, found she had nom’d her way through the plastic bag and ate a huge chunk out of all 10.
Not that I know of. I do a lot of native development mostly on Mint and Endeavor. I use pretty much the same tools on both and get a nearly identical experience. I’d say just go with what feels good to you.
C isn’t all that bad once you understand the incredible power you can wield with it. It’s more limited than C++ due to lack of proper OOP, but still very usable and nice to know as a foundation to C++ and other languages. I’ve been rocking both for the last 20 years and they’re still my favorites to use.
You’d think Communists of all people would understand that macing Nazis is a community effort.







I would absolutely take those 2 off your hands if I didn’t already have 2 of my own fuzz gremlins
