I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

One amazing thing about 2025 is that, if you start up an Apple product, it forces you to choose between _three different_ window mangers, but if you start up a clean install of a current version of Linux, it just chooses good defaults for you.

I've been working on a new Vulkan renderer for StereoKit! Just over two weeks in, and I've amassed a nice collection of little feature demos :)

Instancing, single pass rendering, stencils, compute, 3D textures, mips, cubemaps, threaded upload, and a whole bunch more. Can't wait to get this into SK!

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

today's gpus are getting pretty terrifyingly powerful, but fret not, we have methods to keep them in check. by using a javascript api wrapping a browser's internal api wrapping a vendor's api wrapping the actual hardware api, you can set your performance back by ~2 hardware generations

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

back in the day gifs like this were reserved for linux users installing a web browser, how the tables have turned
to play the Xbox version of HALO INFINITE on my $1,000 xbox ally x, i just had verify, repair files, end task for Xbox, uninstall Gaming Services, reupdate the Xbox app in the Microsoft store, update Visual C++ redistributables, reinstall Gaming Services and restart. just like a console on Xmas day!

true even if you're in a small team, and it's how all UI used to be built but engineering and design are so separated we get this disconnect

Tron (1984): what if instead of going on the computer, you could go in the computer?

Tron: Legacy (2010): what if you could play minecraft and find your dad and also get a girlfriend?

Tron: Ares (2025): what if Trons were Real?

Been working on converting my eurobeat CD’s to minidisc so i can finally start utilizing my FH-P66’s MD player! The CD pickup in this car tends to get overwhelmed by heavy lateral G’s, so I haven’t been able to enjoy my physical SEB mixes until now. Hurray for magneto shock absorption technology!
