Personal infoAbout:
just a fox girl trying to have a good time on the computer i like to make games and toys and art and music, in descending order. currently working on fox flux DELUXE (https://eevee.itch.io/fox-flux-deluxe) but my internet website has a bunch of other things

finally upgraded to kde 6, which defaulted to a wayland session, giving me my very first wayland experience: crashing back to the login screen without even making it far enough to draw wallpaper @eevee I wanted to give the ol' "let's see if the Linux desktop experience is viable for me" another try on the weekend and immediately failed at "every window is flickering" among other issues, precisely because the nvidia driver is apparently very broken with Wayland and the only workaround is going back to X, which... Plasma 6 dropped. Oh well, maybe in another year. computer people who like C too much: you don't truly understand what you're doing unless you understand assembly, the golden ideal of programming me, whispering in their ear as i pass, a ghostly voice on the wind: assembly is dynamically typed  @eevee I'm probably being a bit too straight-faced for the obvious joke but I can't help but ask... Assembly doesn't even have data types, does it? All it cares about is what memory addresses need to be accessed as inputs to the instruction and what address needs to receive the output, yea? rather frustrating to keep seeing "it's impossible to release software for linux, simply rely on wine instead" largely coming from developers, who (a) are getting paid for this and (b) don't have to deal with actually running what they've released

@eevee A, its not hard to make software for linux, all the tools are there, many of them are even well documented and open source. B, why isn't wine deprecated yet? Can we like, get proton for normal software? @eevee it all boils down to work, and how much money it brings. Officially stating that your game is compatible with Linux means you have to bring official support to this platform. That's potentially a lot of work (and the legend goes that Linux users are very demanding). Letting enthusiasts say "this game works well with Proton!" means your game will probably still sell on Linux and you don't have to provide any kind of tech support! ohhhhh sorry its too hard to release our game on linux, it uses advanced windows-only features such as "reading keyboard input" and "drawing to a graphics buffer"

 @eevee@queer.partyI gotta say some engines sell to you is super easy and nope. case in point: unity and rust game  @eevee "sorry, my game is linux only because I couldn't find an opensource implementation of any drivers for any video card for windows, so I couldn't even get a graphics context going" @eevee it wouldn't be feasible due to the security restrictions of wayland

@eevee Hey, nice pangram. I hadn't seen it before! 😲
@eevee
thanks, it's surprising appropriate
