Give it a whirl. Vanilla, no plugins yet (working on that after we get it daemonized), but votable.
@bonkmaykr I haven't played that game in a while. It's one of the few FOSS shooters that isn't just some Quake III or Unreal Tournament clone.
x11 getting forked is going well
@nyanide here's the rundown
>guy who is the main dev still of x11 submits patches that never get merged
>gets fed up with the freedesktop bullshit (like with hyprland, political crashouts of the devs, etc.)
>decides to fork in private
>tells Lunduke about this (public enemy #1 to the corporate types as of now)
>same guy who had a meltdown over the words "thin blue line" on a mailing list has a meltdown, bans him and nukes everything of his
@nyanide yeah it's not out yet, but the reason X11 is so "bad" is because it's literally been actively sabotaged by RedHat and buddies (the same people who forced shit like Lennartware).
@nyanide Simple: you just let X11 bitrot, ignore reports harder than the Gnome devs do, etc. with the idea that the world will move onto the Brand New One.
Why do you think the usual suspects (Red Hat, Gnome, etc.) are announcing it's deprecated?
@nyanide Because it's old and needs to be replaced with new thing, duh.
But I don't see for what reason they want to crush X other than to promote Wayland and even that doesn't make a lot of sense (it would probably be a massive money sink to try and quickly kill X). I think this attack just boils down to "I don't like this person, they need to go away".
@nyanide Their solution to the flaws of X11 are to burn it all down and start with a new desktop thing they came up with, which is something that's already controversial (see: Mir) and it's only worked when it was in a situation where no legacy Linux/*nix stuff was involved period, and there's a boss who can crack the whip instead of having the people fart around and argue online.
I'm talking, either *nix companies that did their own thing entirely and didn't assimilate to X11 (NeXT was the last man standing there which would become Mac OS X and that entire family of OSes), or recently Google using their own stuff for Android and ChromeOS over X11.
This was the modus operandi for pushing Poetterware and is the entire reason for Fedora's existence. If you'd like a sneak peek at what shit they want to shovel into your face next, read Fedora's deprecation notices and long term plans.
It's a set of barebones protocols and an incompatible pile of extensions combined with phone-esque permissions that pushes all the hard work of implementing a proper compositor to other developers. It's like W3C making standards and browsers implementing those.
@phnt @nyanide @ankokukishi @slipgate doesn't fix looping service crashes lmao
@Hephaestic @phnt @nyanide @sendpaws @slipgate
and forced in by (((IBM))), who is a government agency cosplaying as a private company.
@ankokukishi @Hephaestic @phnt @nyanide @slipgate IBM came later and from what I know IBM bought Red Hat because at some point they want to kill off their elephant in the room of AIX.
They want to sell PowerPC systems but with Linux instead of AIX overall; to the point of pushing PPC64el.
@sendpaws @Hephaestic @phnt @nyanide @slipgate
Im not in the know about when ibm bought redhat, but they did, and turned it into Kill Gates' little pet to destroy Linux from the inside.
@ankokukishi @Hephaestic @phnt @nyanide @slipgate they were doing it before but once they bought it they fucked centos 💀
>that will be backdoored in some random commit whenever the feds want it to be
Same could happen to Linux. Remember the uni project that inserted bogus commits that made it to releases?
>It's a buggy mess
It is, but again his is largely overblown by soystemd bad retards. So here are some examples I encountered that actually made it to releases: 239 builds fail when seccomp is disabled, 239 drop-in overrides don't properly apply to timers (timers shouldn't have existed anyway), hybrid-sleep was intentionally broken and never fixed, resolved being broken in many ways, timesynd not syncing time.
The tmpfilesd saga that nuked /home directories because of bad documentation was also fun and bluca being a complete retard, like usual for Debian devs, in those issues and PRs was the reason I stopped using systemd on my main machines after mainly being annoyed by hybrid-sleep being broken for months.
>Yes, I'm linking this here because I think you haven't read it:
I don't need to read slogans to have an opinion on a piece of software. Basing your opinions on flatkill/nosystemd/memes/slogans without actually forming your own independent opinions is brainlet behavior.
>Now you're giving reasons why web browsers and The Linux Foundation are bad. Did I ever say that this wasn't the case, that the alternatives were without these problems?
This is a systemd thread, you never had a chance to tell me that.
I wrote that, to point out that how large a project is, is somewhat irrelevant, because by the same logic you would have to say that most of the software that makes your computing possible is also bad. You would have to say your system libc is bad (unless you use musl), the whole Linux kernel is bad, and every major browser engine is bad. And if that is the case, then yes, I agree with you.
Also I didn't mention Linux Foundation to you, that's a reply to someone that is in those 90%.
>Of course not, and yet here you are pretending that a site which collects problems that systemd has is full of "slogans".
The whole site can be summarized into: Look how much bugs systemd had, I even documented them. I've also put them in a nice list called "List of notable bugs and security issues:". Don't think much about the fact that more than half of those issues aren't even security related ones.
It's the type of site made by the 90%, there's almost no attempt at staying objective about the topic. Also the fact that the author claims that systemd claims is a replacement SysVinit shows the exact intention behind the site. systemd isn't an init system and never was. It's a system manager, just like its major inspiration Apple's launchd. At least the author tried to mostly document bugs that are actually relevant to init and syslog, but that's where the effort ends.
X allows by design each window to coexist into the same memory pool, which trivializes implementing keyloggers and other kinds of scraping tools
X relies on extensions to implement hardware acceleration, and that's a can of worms to handle
X is usually expected to be run as root. Though it can be forced into userspace-only, it usually isn't, and there are some caveats
Wayland is/was a poorly thought-out solution, they basically just whipped out a protocol and told everyone to do as they said.. which they mostly didn't, no wonder adoption has crawled to a snail pace.
The closest equivalent to an X-like environment is wlroots on Wayland, which is basically a library that self-advertises as "A bunch of code you would need to write anyway, so just use ours". Still, tooling is lacking, so most WMs just expect you to offload your settings into their WM configs.
I mean, it can be made to work if you use a stable enough WM (Such as sway), but it does feel like we're in year 2 or 3 after the protocol being introduced, not like in year 17 which it should be.
But RHEL is gonna RHEL I guess
>X is usually expected to be run as root. Though it can be forced into userspace-only, it usually isn't, and there are some caveats
These days it's almost exclusively run as either the user logged in, or as a separate user (like on OpenBSD). KDE sessions started with sddm are an exception since sddm _does_ support rootless X, but it usually broken in some way.
>The closest equivalent to an X-like environment is wlroots on Wayland, which is basically a library that self-advertises as "A bunch of code you would need to write anyway, so just use ours". Still, tooling is lacking, so most WMs just expect you to offload your settings into their WM configs.
And then you implement all the other extensions yourself, because barebones Wayland still does mostly nothing these days. Global keycapture is still not a thing for example, which breaks global shortcuts. You have to implement that in your WM instead of some random daemon that does only that. The fetish with security in Wayland is mostly misplaced and instead tries to turn on the OS into a mobile one with all the stupid permissions popups you get.
Never said X can't be run userspace-only. But, as you said yourself, DEs usually do not bother or have weird caveats because reasons. Detractors will still be doing the point the finger and tell you that's it's not by default, therefore bad.
Absolutely true. There'd be a need for a "wltools " equivalent, instead all of those basic tooling must be thrown into the WM and configured from its .configs. But that doesn't surprise us, since Wayland was introduced when smartphones were being introduced, and, guess what, Android does not use X. Combined with Gnome's obsession for an unified desktop/mobile experience, and you guess why Wayland was such a fundamental piece of the puzzle, attempting to turn Linux into a unified desktop/mobile OS that could compete with both Windows and Android.
@vokainen099 @phnt @nyanide @slipgate android doesn't use Wayland either
They couldn't adopt or fork the Android stack, so they had to try and turn the Linux stack into something viable for both desktop (Competing with Windows) and mobile (Competing with Android)
Both Gnome (With GTK3) and Wayland were part of the attempt.
@bonkmaykr @phnt @Inginsub @nyanide if not that, it's the fact that when drama happens at Ms or apple the bosses crack the whip and say "no more drama, unless you wanna go to that Amazon warehouse to work"
Kinda relevant: libxft has been somewhat revived after the xterm maintainer also became a maintainer for it.
@waff nearly done but he already said "lol we won't discriminate like xorg/freedesktop did"
@waff he did a video that kicked this off btw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwaaSatk0pI
he's trying to fix xorg but the Red Hat Cabal has been blocking him.
Anyone remember XFree86 and their license changes which lead to the Xorg fork?
I try a Wayland composer every once in a while, but it always just sets me back, nothing fucking works and I'm always changing my entire workflow. Hyprland was the least horrible of any of them, and when I published my article on it, tons of Hyperland users send me suggestions and voted me up on a bunch of sites. Total opposite of the Sway teams who just bitched and me and said I'm just sad because my "favoruite apps don't work". Bitch, the fucking gnome key unlocker didn't work! That's not my favorite app. That's something I need for any chat program to launch!
I really hope this fork finds its way into the Gentoo tree. I'm ready to never leave X11 .. ever. i3 rocks and is still maintained and shit in X11 works so long as you don't need HDR. I got a Plasma Neon/Wayland box for the TV for that one use case.
Good on this dev for giving the middle finger to IBM/RedHat.
kikeduke is a jew
@ankokukishi he's not the fork dev btw but nobody is talking about this yet
The fork btw:

I want to personally take the time to say thanks to all of the free software contributors out there who stick by the fair and equal values free software was built upon, without compromise.
What else would you expect from a bunch of corporate suckups getting money from Microsoft?
@bonkmaykr After witnessing ban of this guy who announced this fork where no exact reason has been stated for it, If it violated any rules set *inside* (we also don't know where the project XLibre was hosted) I don't believe It's even worth taking time of my life contributing to Freedesktop projects at all. This is how you get treated in return.
I already got demotivated after vaxry was banned and I only wanted to improve the use of Wayland on mobile linux. This actually makes me sad ;(
@bonkmaykr Furthermore, having a guy like 'karl' in the team of CoC within huge project such as Freedesktop is not right as his actions had already proven him to not look at the centre of situations within FOSS projects. He's no different from somebody beating an innocent.
Why there was no statement made about the ban? Where's transparency? Shouldn't CoC guy talk to that banned contributor directly (and isn't that his job there) when we consider that he has done thousands of commits there?
It shouldn't be this way.

This image is a bit of an exaggeration of what actually happens. People, I presume, don't literally ask if a person prefers to die; they usually ask if they prefer to go to the hospital in an ambulance or not, which can potentially result in their death if their problem is serious. Either way, this is pointing out how people in America refuse vital medical aid not because they don't want/need it, but because it's too expensive.

@graf My first and only car was a shitty bronze '99 Saturn that I got in freshman year in community college.
It was not a stable relationship
@graf@poa.st 1. I can smell that interior from here, they all had that awful cloth with that uniquely GM smell 2.
My very first car I ever had I bought with paper route money (& selling weed.)
I bought it from my friends grandmother who bought it brand new for $3,500.
1989 Honda CRX DX 5spd. Third Reich Red. No sunroof. This car has 62,000mi on it circa 2005.
I had a company in Toronto on Silver Star Blvd Swap a JDM B16A1 & YS1 transmission with a quaife LSD into it.
I put DC sports 4-2-1 headers, a skunk 2 intake manifold & fuel rail, modified injectors & fuel pump from a dsm, then eventually I got some Gude Stage 2 cams, a Hondata with a custom exhaust that was breathing free but as quiet as possible. NO FART PIPE.
Car looked completely factory on the outside but probably could squeak out a 13.6 second quarter mile. In 2005-2006 for a street driven NA Honda? That was cookin' I was smoking all the late '80s early '90s Fox bodies and Impala SS. Especially 0-60 just no weight and probably like 185ish who.
Not only did I have exquisite taste from the start of my car faggotry, But I had the right friends that got me to get the right parts from the start. Never a single AutoZone piece on that car.
Unfortunately for me on Halloween circa 2007 I had it off the road for the winter because I was going to swap it to a b18 and turbocharge it. Instead somebody smashed out the rear window dumped 5 gallons of gasoline into it and lit it on fire. I am not remotely joking or making any of this up. Apparently I had slept with somebody's girlfriend. I didn't find out any reason why or who did it until like a decade later. Unfortunately because of the time I don't have any pictures of the actual car and build. To this day I cry everitiem.
@graf@poa.st My turn to play this game. '93 Bonneville SSEi. White. Fucking. Wheels. Impossible to keep clean, but a supercharged 3800 1st gen. Shit had seats with like 12 adjustments. Weighed and absolute ton, handled like it. Torque steer like a motherfucker. I want it back, but sadly probably never will.
Specifically when the GXP came out & people got wise to a pulley swap, exhaust, & a "chip."
This guy in my town probably put like 12K into his with very expensive chrome wheels and the big double scoop nostril hood. His dad was a mechanic and was hip to the mod so he had the intake, pulleys, exhaust and a tune. We were basically neck and neck all the time. He was essentially my local nemesis.
Unfortunately for him the moment the road didn't go straight I left him in the dust.
@catmanmancat@poa.st @graf@poa.st We'll talk my cars on your episode, but I rode Pontiac all the way to the bitter end. GM had some wild parts cars in that division near the end.
This one is far from perfect, but it runs strong and has cold AC.
Also 11 mpg on a good day
Which is fine because I want to swap in the VA STI transmission axles and differentials. I can get almost an entire swap kit for $3,800 bucks if I also want the brakes which I do. If I tell her I just want to do that to my car she would say no. However if I tell her that it's $3,800 to repair my transmission she's going to believe me and boom I get a swap! So basically I'm going to save up some change and when I see a good deal pop up for a VA STI swap I'm just going to go launch my car until it goes poof.
you could send that to poast instead..
It had an engine under the drivers seat and it got almost 40mpg.
I wish I would have never sold it, it was my grandpas.
Young and dumb
Then jerm totaled it 💁🏻♀️
Funny thing is I've never had to buy my own car. I've been lucky to bum used cars of my family. But I doubt I can ever do that again in this economy. Lucky my current car is a Toyota Camry and this thing, with proper maintenance may be able to survive until the heat death of the universe.
@graf Mine was an '88 Dodge Ares LE. (same color but not my picture)
I put 100k miles on it before I hit that 8-point buck at the bottom of an on ramp. Stupid freaking deer.
My family had one of those station wagons in dark red and chevy trim in those days too.
Why do people keep forking Misskey? I just found a fork of Misskey called "Pawkey", which is just like a furry fork of Misskey. I don't get it. Brothers, just use stock Misskey and support the Japanese in their continued efforts to perfect Federated social media.

As of tonight, we've completed The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Very nice game, 9.5 outta 10. Imagine my surprise, thought, when Dagoth Ur did not, in fact, regale me with a racist tirade or read off a chicken Parmesan recipe, but just acted like a fantasy game villain.
Flash cart is still on it's way
Worse things could always happen, but the perfectionist in me is mildly irritated.
@bonkmaykr That's really cool but it sucks that the lid became damaged. I never played a saturn outside a few moments here and there. It makes me sad such a good system failed in the market.
@bonkmaykr Make sure the clock battery isn't dead. Those things are known to fail regularly.
@phnt@fluffytail.org why so much hate towards anubis? I would have thought having some free software against scraping bots would be a good thing (?)
Right, ARM is currently king of tablets and such, right?
Them leaving it to 3rd parties seems to indicate they're going all in with "everything is an Xbox!" which is gonna slowly kill and dilute the brand. The best Xbox player could hope for now is that official Xbox emulation is released for free or something, that's be something good for sure
Sony apparently is making a portable PS5. I'm personally unsure of the price of that, that's be insane, did you see how much people whined about the Switch 2? Yeesh. But knowing Sony, they'd probably cut a shitload of corners, like not including a dock, attached controls on the thing so you'd need an external controller and yadda yadda to save as much cost
There's "leakers" around that said it's not quite PS5 powers, it has less memory bandwidth or something, leading to games possibly needed patches, but it does run PS5 binary and... I wonder how Sony is gonna solve this. Indie and smaller games may run, but bigger games could use patches or whatever. But... what about physical owners? This raises a lot of questions and Sony can lose big if they don't get generous here
I wanted the intensity of the effect to scale with object movement speed, but I found that keeping track of enough samples to do it smoothly and/or interpolating them was a struggle to do right. Could try again later.
Below is 0% opacity, the displacement factor can be tweaked and is multiplied by a normal map
I think - just a blind guess - that it was done by reserving slots in the palette just for that opponent and then copying colors from the pre-rendered background, but I haven't taken a good look in a debugger to know for sure.
