@Blurry Moon @lain @Phantasm linked data databases are all awful, don't

Legitimately, unless you're doing datasets and stuff for OLAP, linked data is just a royal pain in the ass

It's good for datasets and analytical stuff because it's so flexible you can describe any fucking mess the humanity has ever even thought of with enough thought and time.

But flexibility to such degree is the exact opposite from what you want for an operating system - you want to simplify everything as much as viable, because that way you have less different paths everything needs to go through, and it becomes way easier to optimize those paths.

@nprofile1q... mostly a bunch of color stuff because I find it interesting, but there's a ton of stuff that would be useful for "professional production" software/hardware that I might end up looking around for

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @bruh/a1ba sure, and wayland gives you info about that

I just think that people should have limits on what they're willing to solve and I think arbitrary rotation is past any reasonable limits

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @bruh/a1ba I don't think that's healthy?

Like, you can try to make as much of your stuff as good/correct as possible throughout the whole stack, but if the user decides to do dumb stuff like rotating the windows or similar, then just let them do dumb stuff. Trying to solve/prevent every possible problem is just a recipe for a burnout

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @bruh/a1ba compositor can do whatever it wants, wayland or not, I mean that there's no way for an application to get info about arbitrary rotations so that it renders in rotated space, so multimedia application authors don't have to care about this monstrocity

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: @bruh/a1ba I checked and thankfully no arbitrary rotation in wayland (only flips/90 degree rotations)

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... ok yeah, that would indeed be a problem

dry ice usually is quite easy to get, usually marketed towards events organizing, but would be harder to use than LN2 because it's solid.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... depending on the type of chocolate a freezer might be good enough, no?

@Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: what's the website?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... FWIW this opinion sits at the divide between "just quality concerns" and "broader social and economical concerns"

If you only care about quality, holding LLMs to the same standard as regular contributors might make sense (though looking at the examples where LLM-ers say they've been "very careful" I'm not sure that's enough)

If you care about broader social economical concerns surrounding LLMs, then nothing besides a full-on ban makes sense.

@nprofile1q... SWAR is for packing operations on smaller elements into operations on larger ones

not sure about how you talk about when you use it in regular SIMD
