All major #AI developers are racing to create “agents” that will perform tasks on your computer: Apple, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. AI Agents will read your computer screen, browse the Internet, and more.

If Trump wins and doesn't abolish the income tax, I wonder if that will finally wake people up about (s)elections and finally get the masses to revolt.

Lol, tards. Just throw away support for hardware that exists everywhere and works great.

Yesterday I found, that even in China, sex researchers do accept concepts as pansexuality.

Just when I thought, I could not be more disgusted by that part of the world, they managed to pull it off.

Ian Freeman should be a household name alongside Ross Ulbricht and Roger Ver.

He is a political prisoner who is being punished for facilitating anonymous cryptocurrency usage.

If that's real then Vancouverites are some losers. You roll up with a generator and a circular saw with carbide teeth, you're not gonna lose.

Whether this preference is based on ignorance of the science, ideological zeal, a willful desire to hurt American growth or simple greed because of their investments in Green New Scam infrastructure varies case by case.

Why do people trust this stuff? At first glance, I could immediately tell this was wrong. I went ahead and tries this anyway to see if maybe QT Dialogs had some weird internal state to make this a singleton, but of course it doesn't.

AI is just wrong answers only.

LibAlleg does not have a guide on framerate-independent game logic, which makes removing the FPS cap difficult. No worries, I could do multithreading.

Except for some ungodly reason, the renderer is hard-capped at 60 frames per second, agnostic to my own code. This is "120"

I only found this out the hard way when my timescale math inadvertently caused the publisher intro to be twice as long instead of just being double the framerate.

At that time I had not implemented a delta timer because I was relying on Allegro's event timers for pacing, so I had no way of viewing the framerate until I took this screenshot. You can probably imagine the hours I wasted trying to fix my code not realizing what was happening.

*sigh* time to contact the IRC again...

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! SFML had a depth-buffer, then removed it because Laurent Gomila thought that a 2D library didn't need it.

Except, you DO need it. Sometimes you need to dynamically change the orders in which sprites are drawn, especially for 2.5D games just like what this linked article is talking about.

The article below talks about a solution using OpenGL and a derivative of SFML's vertex arrays, but that seems way too complex for something that should be dead simple. This is part of the reason why SFML will never be on the same level as SDL. I only use it because I have this weird urge to be different....to my own detriment.
