I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...
Unfortunately I still have two subs that I check out - one of them being r/HFY, which has ongoing stories that are being posted there and nowhere else. Though I haven’t written a comment or (intentionally) [up|down]voted anything out of principle.
Other than that, Lemmy’s fine for casual shitposting and for now I don’t regret the migration.
You may not be aware of this, but assuming someone’s facetiousness is a statement about someone’s trustworthiness and is pretty passive aggressive. I used to do it a lot myself until the fire nation attacked.
If you had read carefully the beehaw.org TOS, you’d know there’s a fine-print clause that nominates you, personally, as the ambassador of all of its communities; everyone else is contractually obligated to upvote comments on your posts where you make fun of… uh, people who have had sex education or poor English speechcraft idk.
To be pedantic, they don’t create shadows, they merely indicate which texels reflect light in which direction.
Shadows (ambient diffusion? idk) are more of a bump map thing, which normal maps are sometimes conflated with and they seem to be too much of a headache for me to look into.
Without realizing what I was getting myself into, I wrote some code using C11’s threads.h (EDIT: every time I use the angle brackets < and > they just get eaten, even in the code snippet block.) I’m realizing after the fact that this is basically only supported on Linux (gcc/clang). This is my target platform, but I guess...
As far as I know, C’s threads.h implementation (or std::thread for C++) is based on POSIX threads.
If you’re using CMake or a similar build system that can define macros when building from Windows, then one option you have is to simply create an interface of sorts.
Something like:
<span style="color:#323232;">// angle brackes work for this codeblock? idk
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#ifdef PLATFORM_WIN32
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> // The syntax MSVC wants (which I'm not familiar with)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> #include "fuckmissingbracketsidontrememberwhatiwrotehere"
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> thread_t win32_create_thread( /* ... */ ) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> /* ... */
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#else
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> // The syntax sensible compilers want (which I'm also unfamiliar with because I forgor U+1F480)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> #include "fuckmissingbracketsidontrememberwhatiwrotehere"
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> int thrd_create( /* ... */ ) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> /* ... */
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#endif
</span>
It may be a bit tedious, but I don’t know if there is some widely known C equivalent to the Boost library, at least for threads.
In the context of VPNs for example. Some VPNs store and provide information about what sites you go to third parties. Third parties analyze it and figure out what adds to show you.

I create a Vulkan instance, a device, a compute pipeline then use an image sampler with VK_FILTER_LINEAR on a single-texel image in order to interpolate the two adjacent values of hamburger eatage, simple as.
Recently, I switched from Windows to Linux, tried many distros, and ended up with the Ubuntu rolling-release. Things went well for some days, but I started facing some issues like printer issues, gaming performance issues, and overall Ubuntu performance issues. So, I switched to where it all started, which is Windows 10. Now...
I’m personally not too scared of random things breaking, I’ve always managed to fix them. At some point I will consider replacing GRUB with something else.
Anyway Arch’s stability being a matter of luck checks out - I haven’t been able to install the damn thing on my ancient laptop for some BIOS related reason.
If I had a nickel I got a meme reposted on a community called 196 I’d have 2 nickels (or 3 if you count my own), which is not a lot but it gives me mixed feelings
