activelowDVD/PAL resolution was 576x480, FullHD is 1920x1080, approximately 8x the amount of bandwidth required, and given 1.2GHz is roughly 8x the performance of a pentium-150Aug 21 00:20
activelowand, true full-hd is rarely requiredAug 21 00:20
schestowitzif RMS speaks out about this they will accuse him of eating babiesAug 21 00:20

schestowitzlike Mr. Lee crazily thinking N Korea AND South Korea would laid die their weapons and welcome him as kind of some unified nationAug 21 00:28
activelowtbh again, occasionally i like to play a video game, but i do not see the benefit of GPUs/OpenGLAug 21 00:28
schestowitzI guess drugs can change a person's perspectiveAug 21 00:28
schestowitzactivelow: good games don't rely on fancy graphicsAug 21 00:28
schestowitzgameplay was sacrificed back in the 90sAug 21 00:28
schestowitzI'd rather play Monkey Island than Max PayneAug 21 00:29
activelowGPU-acceleration is a leftover from times when CPUs were not powerful enough, and the software/CPU path wasn't optimized anymoreAug 21 00:29
schestowitzand... I MIGHT even learn somethingAug 21 00:29
schestowitzactivelow: it's like SGI machines in your boxAug 21 00:29

schestowitzactivelow: exactly!Aug 21 00:30
schestowitzalso to suck iup tons of powerAug 21 00:30
schestowitzwhich mostly turns into heat afaikAug 21 00:30
schestowitzunlike with fanless machinesAug 21 00:31
activelowschestowitz: it is both efficience and economy, GPUs are NOT economic, most require 150Watts ore more for the GPU aloneAug 21 00:31
schestowitzlike my fanless laptop and SBCAug 21 00:31
schestowitzno fans on these... no need!Aug 21 00:31
schestowitzpeople have come to expect heat sinks and big fans in laptopsAug 21 00:32
schestowitzand when it heat up too much the laptops throttle the CPU or shut down to save themselves from meltingAug 21 00:32
schestowitzbad designAug 21 00:32
schestowitzbye, x86Aug 21 00:32
activelowearly x86 systems (i386) rarely required any heatsink, or tiny ones onlyAug 21 00:32
schestowitzto write articles and read aricles (gemini, no JS) you don't need fansAug 21 00:33
schestowitztoday's articles I wrote outdoors on an arm laptopAug 21 00:33
activelowneither for games, "HPC"Aug 21 00:33

schestowitzGoogle StadiaAug 21 00:34
MinceR21 012326 <~schestowitz> just misguided and opportunisticAug 21 00:34

MinceRi prefer doom 2 to both :>Aug 21 00:35
schestowitzdoom 2 was energy efficientAug 21 00:35
schestowitzit had to beAug 21 00:35
schestowitzmachines like 200mhz=mmxAug 21 00:35
schestowitzno gpuAug 21 00:35
MinceRit also had a great concept and a great designAug 21 00:35
MinceRmuch of which was later forgotten, sadlyAug 21 00:36
schestowitzI still have the doom2 executable on some driversAug 21 00:36
schestowitzactivelow: yes, same for the webAug 21 00:36
schestowitzgive more hardware capacityAug 21 00:36
schestowitzand then they quit coding properlyAug 21 00:36
schestowitz"works fine for me"Aug 21 00:36
schestowitz"why don't you buy a NEW computer, what are you, stingy?"Aug 21 00:36

kingoffrance"3d game engine in just 10 lines of javascript"  (ignore browser, os, drivers, ...)    its kind of marketed that wayAug 21 00:38
kingoffrancei mean, theirs "articles" like that, just count the lines i show you, dont count actual total lines neededAug 21 00:38
kingoffrance*they'reAug 21 00:38
kingoffrancei know what they mean, a high level api, but doesnt helpAug 21 00:39
kingoffrance*there are Aug 21 00:39
schestowitzone line of code for DOOMAug 21 00:39
kingoffranceyes,   main()Aug 21 00:39
schestowitzC:\>> DOOM2.EXEAug 21 00:40
schestowitzI am hax0rAug 21 00:40
kingoffrancelol   that another reason its silly, you are supposed to sort of factor that way anyways to avoid spaghetti codeAug 21 00:40
schestowitzmatlab has tons of that crapAug 21 00:41
schestowitzmany high--level APIsAug 21 00:41
schestowitzhiding all the (IIRC) c code below... PROPRIETARY crapAug 21 00:41
activelowprboom is opensourceAug 21 00:45
activelownot sure about the level design toolsAug 21 00:45
MinceRsome of them are free softwareAug 21 00:46
MinceRlike EurekaAug 21 00:46
activelowanother advice: no GPU, no opengl, no "acceleration", drop all of what depends on itAug 21 00:48
schestowitz-TRkde also?Aug 21 00:48
schestowitz-TRplasma?Aug 21 00:48
activelowsadly, video decoding without opengl is brokenAug 21 00:48
activelowschestowitz-TR: KDE does not require openglAug 21 00:48
activelowbut KDE is a C++ monstrosityAug 21 00:48
schestowitz-TRnot requiring it strictlyAug 21 00:48
MinceRalso, DEU and probably its descendants as wellAug 21 00:49
schestowitz-TRbut the compositor makes use of it if enabledAug 21 00:49
MinceR(Eureka is a DEU descendant too)Aug 21 00:49
schestowitz-TRsupport xrender, opengl2, and 3.1Aug 21 00:49
activelowi was thinking already to ditch X11 entirelyAug 21 00:49
schestowitz-TRthen use what?Aug 21 00:49
schestowitz-TRwayland is even worseAug 21 00:49
activelowframebufferAug 21 00:50
schestowitz-TRits steards and featuresAug 21 00:50
schestowitz-TR*stewardsAug 21 00:50
activelowgtk is possible on framebuffer tooAug 21 00:50
activelowchances are, netsurf browser could work on framebuffer without x11Aug 21 00:50
schestowitz-TRwhat about framebuffer over ssh?Aug 21 00:50
schestowitz-TRor another transport layer?Aug 21 00:50
MinceRlinks2 works on something like that too, iircAug 21 00:50
activelowschestowitz-TR: pardon?Aug 21 00:51
schestowitz-TRyou cannot get very far application support-wise without xAug 21 00:51
schestowitz-TRactivelow: ssh -XAug 21 00:51
activelowframebuffer is the API exposed by kernel for direct hardware access, without any X-api in betweenAug 21 00:51
schestowitz-TRand then also barrier and synergyAug 21 00:51
schestowitz-TRyou would end up with too primitive a setupAug 21 00:51
activelowX11 isn't directly related to framebuffer, framebuffer is a kernel thingAug 21 00:51
schestowitz-TReven RMS uses x and epiphany iircAug 21 00:51
schestowitz-TRx11 is an interface to itAug 21 00:52
schestowitz-TRan efficient and robust oneAug 21 00:52
schestowitz-TR40 years to mature almostAug 21 00:52
activelowok, only responded to the idea to with SSH involved, since what is transported over ssh is X11 protocol, and not framebufferAug 21 00:52
activelownot saying X11 is bad, but i do NOT want to depend on it with anything i doAug 21 00:53
schestowitz-TRthat takes us way to far backwardsAug 21 00:53
schestowitz-TRtechnological primitivismAug 21 00:53
schestowitz-TRnot even figosdev went this farAug 21 00:53
MinceRnot wanting to depend on anything leads to code duplication and poorly designed architectureAug 21 00:53
schestowitz-TRhe just wanted to remove all stuff with shithub depsAug 21 00:53
activelowMinceR: i refered to X11Aug 21 00:53
activelowand the history of it and the persons involved is noteworthy too, since it was DEC staff which developed both X11, and went to microsoftAug 21 00:54
MinceRi see, but the more steps you take like that, the more painful it will getAug 21 00:54
schestowitz-TRyou want to writ directly to framebuffer?Aug 21 00:54
schestowitz-TRif so, which graphics driver?Aug 21 00:54
MinceRstrangeAug 21 00:54
schestowitz-TRwhat motherboard?Aug 21 00:54
schestowitz-TRwhat screen port?Aug 21 00:54
activelownot at all MinceR Aug 21 00:54
MinceRhow did that DEC staff forget everything they knew?Aug 21 00:54
schestowitz-TRvga?Aug 21 00:54
activelowyes VGA! very good argument, HDMI is crap.Aug 21 00:54
schestowitz-TRI have one unused vga screen... cannot find adapter for it, for now...Aug 21 00:55
MinceRit's like hardly anyone has the understanding that led to X existingAug 21 00:55

activelowat least, i'll verify if video-out on framebuffer is possible without any "acceleration" and proprietary hardware/softwareAug 21 00:58
schestowitzftr/o[n]tr:Aug 21 00:58
schestowitzeven openbsd gives xAug 21 00:59
schestowitzstartxAug 21 00:59
activelowand, chances are, framebuffer console performanc will be superior to anything withing X11Aug 21 00:59
schestowitzand openbsd is very strictAug 21 00:59
activelowopenbsd didn't permit it, they implemented XenocaraAug 21 00:59
schestowitzso use thatAug 21 00:59
MinceRit's great that they implemented itAug 21 00:59

Ariadnei have to admit it's pretty funny to watch lunduke lock his twitter account and go hide like a little bitchAug 21 05:09
schestowitz-TR2Ariadne: keel and miyoni are goodAug 21 05:09
schestowitz-TR2Ariadne: he is ruinedAug 21 05:09
schestowitz-TR2he deleted his youtube videosAug 21 05:09
Ariadnewhat happenedAug 21 05:09
schestowitz-TR2and now he moans about the platform he chose insteadAug 21 05:09
Ariadnesurely it wasn't the COVID chest beatingAug 21 05:09
schestowitz-TR2he said he wouldm quit twitter 3 times at leastAug 21 05:10
schestowitz-TR2and each time he broke his promiseAug 21 05:10
XRevan86Ariadne: Are people pointing out to him that past illness is no excuse for ignoring masks?Aug 21 05:10
Ariadneapparently he is banned from SeaGLAug 21 05:10
Ariadnei guess because he refuses to vaccinate or maskAug 21 05:10
AriadnehahaAug 21 05:10
schestowitz-TR2my techrights collague says he is a "superspreader" or goes to "superspreader events"Aug 21 05:11
schestowitz-TR2which I didn't qiuite get until recentlyAug 21 05:11
XRevan86He doesn't need to vaccinate I guess. Not that it wouldn't help.Aug 21 05:11
schestowitz-TR2because of some very tactless tweetsAug 21 05:11
schestowitz-TR2masks help prevent droplets from flying onto othersAug 21 05:12
schestowitz-TR2they mostly protect others from you in case you are an unwitting carrierAug 21 05:12
XRevan86Though it also depends on when he was ill.Aug 21 05:12
schestowitz-TR2with very long hibernation periodAug 21 05:12
AriadneXRevan86: vaccination is recommended even if you've already had itAug 21 05:13
schestowitz-TR2people here barely wear masks anymore, even shopkeepersAug 21 05:13
schestowitz-TR2which makes this place dangerous under BorisnaroAug 21 05:13
XRevan86But either way, he cannot just conclude that he got it, it's in the past for him, he can just live a "normal life" ignoring anything that happens. Not how that works.Aug 21 05:13
schestowitz-TR2Ariadne: depends which one (I have read)Aug 21 05:13
schestowitz-TR2anyway, people will spread it regardlessAug 21 05:14
schestowitz-TR2and masks are needed even if 99% got some vaccineAug 21 05:14
schestowitz-TR2because those 99% remain a carrier potentialAug 21 05:14
schestowitz-TR2I remember Lunduke complaining about Ballmer spitting at himAug 21 05:15
XRevan86Ariadne: Right, but I don't care to find out the specifics of his situation to be able to give him advice.Aug 21 05:15
Ariadnei wonder why SeaGL banned him, i guess it happened last yearAug 21 05:15
schestowitz-TR2or rather, shouting at therm and leaving droplets of spit on his glassesAug 21 05:15
schestowitz-TR2which I can totally believeAug 21 05:15
schestowitz-TR2SeaGL is connected to some peopleAug 21 05:15
schestowitz-TR2like past partner of Deb N iircAug 21 05:15
schestowitz-TR2and maybe he said something about someone (as he often does)Aug 21 05:16
schestowitz-TR2actually, I think Deb is directly responsible or was responsible for seaglAug 21 05:16
XRevan86Anyway, people should educate him on these things, his view on the situation is very 2020.Aug 21 05:16
XRevan86Other people, I don't care nor have the means :PAug 21 05:17

schestowitz"The daytime sky appears blue because air molecules scatter shorter wavelengths of sunlight more than longer ones (redder light)."Aug 21 14:48
schestowitzhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyAug 21 14:48
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Sky - WikipediaAug 21 14:48
schestowitz" Scattering is significant for light at all visible wavelengths, but is stronger at the shorter (bluer) end of the visible spectrum, meaning that the scattered light is bluer than its source: the Sun. The remaining direct sunlight, having lost some of its shorter-wavelength components, appears slightly less blue"Aug 21 14:49
XRevan86schestowitz: I know that. But again, the sky is not an object, how else would ye define what colour properties it has?Aug 21 14:49
