  • I hate Java because whenever people make games or performance sensitive applications with it, performance is always complete ass shit. On top of that, it seems I always have to cave in and use Windows because when I’m trying to compile a Java project, there’s some obscure dependency can only be acquired and installed correctly on windows.

    Try compiling Freerouting in anything other than Windows for example. It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.


  • If you get even 1 thing wrong, the entire program stops working and you don’t get any information about it. Turns out those cryptic errors like “error: object reference not set to instance of an object at address 0x007e00” are kind of important information to have. Unless you specifically know where it’s crashing, finding the source of the problem is like finding a needle in a haystack. If it’s your own code it’s borderline manageable but you’ll regret every decision that led you up to that point. If it’s someone else’s code such as an old project from 9 years ago that doesn’t work anymore, absolutely forget about it.

    The only advantage of php is that it’s incredibly lightweight. I was running an Athlon XP home server on Gentoo as late as 2022 and still had php running despite only having the SSE1 instruction set and a cpu less powerful than whats probably on a modern led lightbulb.

    But ACKTCHUALLY I think django and python bottles can be run on even shittier computers than php can since they’re both python programs and python has been demonstrated to be runnable on a pentium 1. So there is no reason to use php.








  • Go play any modern indie game. You’ll need at least a 1050ti for it to run well. The graphics are good, sure. Now go play something that runs on an open source 3d engine such as Ogre or irrlicht. Tux Kart is a good example of a modernized open source game and Xonotic gets mentioned a lot too (I don’t know/didn’t research what 3d engine Xonotic uses). You’ll get playable performance even if your gpu is trash and the graphics are actually pretty good. If the game you picked has potato ass shit graphics then congratulations you only need a pc that’s 20 years old or newer to run it. Gpu prices are eating gamers alive and it’s getting to the point where the common person isn’t going to be able to play modern pc games anymore if system requirements in games just keep getting higher and higher. They can’t even figure out how to supply more electricity to graphics cards without the wires melting from all the current. Wtf even is their end game?

    If professional game developers don’t start making performance a priority the Linux nerds will start developing games the same way they made foss replacements for all the unfair paid software. I’m tired of buying computer parts. Video game graphics are already as good as they’re going to get (photorealism for fuck sake), they aren’t getting better but system requirements are getting higher. If this trend continues it will radicalize more people into supporting open source projects instead.

    I don’t think anyone is putting bitcoin miners in their games. I just think it’s unfair that system requirements for everything seem to be getting higher, gpu prices are always getting higher but the graphics we actually get for it all aren’t even a worth it.






  • If they never release the source, including all the fpga verilog files then this is pointless to the open source community.

    Edit: actually I just realized my comment is kind of pointless. Even if he released the fpga source code, a thing a lot of projects like these never do, it still wouldn’t be possible to reproduce one of these using only free and open source software. This is because the only fpgas that let you program them using open source software and not a locked-down windows-only bloatfuck program that needs an internet connection and licensing are the lattice ice40 fpgas. Tl;dr this can’t be fully “open source”.

    I wonder if it would be possible to make an ice 40 based video card that could still do opengl.
