@thor Maybe they don't know how it works because it's not Twitter.

When someone finds out you know “a lot of odd things for a civilian game developer”. Well, it helps to be well rounded.

@thor I spent a lot of my time in a gym weight training and it mostly attracted the same sex.

It's almost like the universe is trying to groom me.

I had weight loss surgery but the real fix would have been popularity, girls, fun and travel. I had a big need for those things but wasn't shaped right for it, so I compensated with other things.

@Hyolobrika @freemo Most Proprietary Software would probably break as a result.

There's this guy in my neighborhood that runs around wearing an orange safety vest that says "Autistic" and I kinda want one.

Yes and No. If you have lived in China, you must have noticed the lack of honorable business practices and precision. So for every pearl of excellence there are a dozen scoundrels trying to ride on that success, and it creates an enormous downward pull on those.

We can already see a higher frequency of microcontroller "bugs" in silicon. GigaDevices GD32 cloning of STM32 has plenty of mistakes in them, much higher than ST. And that is with IP purchased from ARM.

@niclas @lupyuen That particular company also made a RISC-V MCU that has been called difficult. It's not that the production quality is bad at all but the architecture was not very friendly from what I remember.

So the new Big Tech election interference plan is to just stop recommending any political content as it’s all bad for “the party”.

Who the fuck uses Threads? People should stop using Facebook too.

Just FYI apparently has switched to the incredibly abusive and poorly maintained oliphant block list that is itself dictated, in part, of mastodon.art's abusive block list.

very disappointed in their lack of due diligence.

My #FOSDEM presentation about #Wayland video offloading is online. If you are interested, you can watch it here: fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event

I'm happy about feedback, both on the technical side as well as how I can improve doing presentations :)

@niclas @lupyuen China 2025 is going well. The US is going to have to get off its ass or we'll be left behind. It really shows when China tries something.

@AmpBenzScientist

Yes, I read it all... ;-)

I am probably more hopeful that we will see progress (outside copy/paste-china) for all but the most compute intensive usages, i.e. embedded controllers.

With prices for custom asic also dropping quickly, I think there is a future for open source adopted by many non-asic companies, and a decent job market for people with experience in it.

We are now roughly at 1990 in software, long way to go.
