Here’s my account if you want to also follow me. I might follow you back. Maybe we can even cooperate on some projects.

Same here, although I already had a Mastodon account.

It seems like the issue was setting the ResizeRedirectFlag in the event configuration, since the whole documentation on event configurations were scarce.

Worse, public domain license, except you need to modify them a lot.

Since they’re being trained on GPL (and possibly leaked proprietary) codes, I have banned them from my codebases. I also banned AI art from asset usage on similar + ethical grounds.

Forced openness is good for certain things, but not so good on others. That’s the reason why I licensed my game engine under BSL (whith some components of course under MIT, ZLib, and Apache), within the game development community things like that more accepted. It does have branding material, which anyone can use unless they were either behaved really badly, or being used for non-engine related material. Certain engine assets are under yet another license (public domain).

Also Valve isn’t the charity they believe it is. It’s a de-facto monopoly, and it has serious moderation issues (basically if you bought enough games, they will less likely ban you for hatespeech and such).

Testcase for OpenGL: https://github.com/ZILtoid1991/iota/blob/main/gltest/app.d

Code that creates the window: https://github.com/ZILtoid1991/iota/blob/main/source/iota/window/oswindow.d

Note that I also get an X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). error message every time I close one of my x11 testcases, and I find nothing about this error message (besides the usual “use preexiting library” suggestion).

I’m somewhat of a creator myself and I mostly use creative software that has Linux versions (will move to Linux once Win 10’s support expires and/or I somehow get enough money for a new PC), and they’re legit better than Adobe software for my usecase. Photoshop is nearly unusable for digital painting (it’s more of a photo-editing software with some drawing capabilities), Krita is pretty good, and my only pet peewee was that some of the brush compositing modes had confusing names and were hidden deep inside the menu, but then I found “greater”, which can somewhat mimic the behavior of the default CSP brushes.

Also can someone recommend me a guitar amp modeller (preferably an open-source one), that is available on Linux, so I won’t suffer from both the demo of Guitar Rig came with my Arturia Minifuse, or with trying to get one running in Wine with all their complicated copy protection schemes?

I used the limited HDR capabilities of my monitor (VA panel with no backlight zones I can spot) in some games, it’s somewhat better than in normal mode, otherwise I just use SDR to save power.

We were “groomed” by plush toys…

Stockholm Syndrome + Sunk Cost Fallacy + some of the better languages have lackluster corporate backing and/or third party libraries

I have installed them without the package manager, now I’m asking the community how do I edit the activation files that both LDC and DMD will act like they’re installed the normal way, especially since I don’t need to juggle between versions.

They should have:

• Not sell out to AI.
• Deleted doxxing info (they already removed stuff like Mike Matei’s racist webcomics on behalf of Mike Matei).

Someone should write an honest version of it.

What is their Rule 1?

Let’s hope we also getting GPU drivers unlike on those cheaper SBCs…

He will release X-OS, a fork of Ubuntu, which is half broken, and has Grok integrated in it.

AI simps. There’s more and more of them on the fediverse, for some reason. They’re getting a bit less active on Mastodon, as Elongated Muskrat is also being an AI fan.

Windows is a free and open source software, it incorporates open source components.

There’s also two main plus one lesser issue that are less commonly discussed:

1. Lack of manpower. FOSS devs often doing it as a side project on top of some other and/or a full-time job, so that even lowers one’s ability of concentrate on stuff like the UI, when you’re already working hard on fixing bugs, looking up things (which is getting harder and harder thanks to AI slop - I once managed to destroy a Linux on my Raspberry Pi while trying to adjust the path variables).
2. Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable parts of your application. There are many times I haven’t noticed a a very uncomfortable part of my GUI after months of use, then I had to refactor things, which obviously took time away from other things. This also affects the users already in the userbase.

Elitism is also a factor. A lot of people like the feeling of being part of a special group, and for them, the steep learning curve is a feature, not a bug. I’ve seen Blender users being angry at the devs for “spoonfeeding” the normies, and letting in all kinds of people. Also just look at OP’s image.
