    It depends on the type of time travel rules. One theory suggest going back in time creates a branch in the time-space continuum, one where the time travel happened, one where it did not.

    With this branching time-space rule, there’s one timeline, where no time travellers appeared, and one where they did.



    • A non-AI generated image - it communicates to artists that they’re not welcome, while Linux is getting there in support for artists (Krita, LMMS, etc.).
    • A debugger with a GUI - no, I don’t care about writing shell scripts to automate debugging.
    • Server-side decorations on Gnome - just add an option for it FFS!
    • A way to easily recover from a crash during an update - I was lucky that I could do it from the command line, but my Ubuntu still likes to crash the VM host if I open Nautilus.
    • Drivers.
    • Linux devs not throwing a temper tantrum for a driver not being GPL. I know, that would be the ideal, but corporations gonna corporate.

    Also web-native apps are a web 2.0 mistake, and lead to the abandonment of many portable GUI frameworks in favor of the “what if your pops didn’t had to install Word Processor, and instead just had to type wordprocessor.com into his browser” idea of some techbro. Do you know why your ÜBERGAMERMOUSE Ultrautility is 250+MB? Because they’re all Electron apps!


  • I personally locked my account, and only going there to “spy” on some people only being active there, or to interact with some mutual. It’s too much of a toxic pit, the porn bots now even post illegal stuff, and the site is buggy. It was quite good for my mental health to delete that app from my phone though. I miss the community I had there, some I’m instead in contact on Discord (I have a Matrix account too, haven’t been using it much), some on Mastodon. That community was slowly disappearing since the Musk takeover, not because of my absence from what is now basically just a 4chan that is still somehow attracts corporations. I wonder if I manage to find a new one soon, or maybe even create my own.




  • Godot is a game engine.

    SDL, on the other hand, is not, and instead is a multimedia layer (middleware) often used for game development.

    One could argue that game engines constitute as middleware, but in reality, most modern game engines are way more than that, and instead often rely on other middleware nowadays (e.g. OpenGL, or even SDL for some). This, alongside with people mistakingly calling SDL a game engine, leads to stuff like this.



  • Me: “How do I write my own Rawinput handler?”

    Search results: “Here’s how you setup Rawinput in this competitive FPS, and look how it reduces input latency by a single milisecond! After 2-3 pages of AI generated SEO garbage full of misinformation, you might find something else besides of the official MS docs.”

    Me: “Okay, this is not working, maybe I should look for some another preexisting SDL alternative, maybe at least one of them isn’t an even bigger dumpster fire than SDL itself.”

    Search results: “Duuuude, have you heard of this game making tool, called Gamemaker? It doesn’t need coding, and it’s totally the same thing, because some people mistakingly called SDL a game engine, and now my AI hallucinates it as such. If you’re up to a bigger challenge, then there’s always Godot, or DirectX, which my AI also hallucinates being a game engine!”


  • The only thing I grew at home (in a pot, because dogs) was chili, because it’s more scarce in stores than stuff like onions. Some do fear that the store ones are all “GMO” secretly, or even manufactured from some petroleum products, like my stepmother, who once learned that things like milk powder, egg powder, and meat powder exists, but she thought they all weren’t made of the real things, because she couldn’t believe the Earth could feed this many people, and the rich hoard all the good stuff for themselves.

    Now it’s being trained on Stackoverflow, consider those days to be over.

    Q: Hey ChatGPT, I have issues with RAWINPUT under Windows, how do I fix it? [Insert code here]

    A: You dumdum, I see you’re using the language D, which is for cucks. Real alpha programmers use C++, as they don’t need things like memory safety (skill issue lol), and can afford multiple monitors because C++ still thinks we still only have a few megabytes of compiler memory available, so programmers still can see the header files. Want to still develop in an easier language for shits and giggles? Javascript, so your friends don’t have to deal with .exe files (evil), and the web is the future anyways.

    Regardless of that, there’s already a C++ library that can handle input for Windows and many other operating systems. Oh, it uses DirectInput 8? Well, who cares, don’t be picky, or just stop programming altogether, and leave it to the professionals. [place for a lowtiergod meme, but with the text “you should quit programming now”]
