I've never managed to get it working on a VM so I just have a dedicated windows XP laptop where it works consistently without having to modify anything.

Progress is slow at the moment because I've been doing less programming-related things in my spare time, but that will change again eventually.

I haven't found a single UI framework that doesn't make me want to rip my hair out.. so I'm back to working on that one I mentioned a few months back.
It's entirely immediate mode now, with some additional tweaks like having almost-snappy window resizing, and marginally better text rendering.

Some progress on OpenTPW, a re-implementation project for Theme Park World. Model & texture loading is 90% there, need to tackle fonts next

You can always resurrect your 3-years-abandoned UI framework project. It's always morally correct.

Nvidia realised that they have to allocate more of the fab space they bought to make GPUs for AI, which means they have to shaft their gaming customers.
Similar thing happened with crypto, and it'll happen after the AI bubble pops too. Stop buying from them. They don't care.

Also a big thanks to Valve for making this all easy with the VR Steam Link stuff. You don't need any extra hardware to get this working on PC anymore if you've got a Quest 3, which is super nice

The joint lengths on this are a bit messed up at the moment, but being able to give developers hand tracking with almost zero effort on their part should hopefully lead to some interesting experiences.

"Apple really cares about user experience" okay then can they make it so that I can stream 5.1 audio over AirPlay rather than having to use a macbook and a ridiculously long HDMI cable

That sounds like the sort of thing that would probably get you banned now

My twitter "for you" feed is like 75% right-wing garbage now, despite me never interacting with it, and always scrolling past. Not sure if it's because of the upcoming election or if they've tweaked the algorithm on there, but it's insufferable regardless

Yeah, I ended up looking into it and learning some more - it does make sense.

I can't actually think of any way you'd actually hide it, aside from just muting someone client-side, but that won't stop them from interacting.

That seems like a pretty glaring design flaw

I think this website sucks and I was going to give it a chance by posting something I've made, except I just realised I don't really make anything *worth* posting anymore, so I dunno check out this shit I did ages ago
