holy fuck this spam email I got is incredible
email in thunderbird mobile with the subject "Absolutely free domain registration!". the body of the email contains a bold hyperlink "GET A FREE DOMAIN NAME", along with an insane clipart-esque image. the image has the word "FREE" in big bold red font, followed by shiny reflective 3D text of the word "DOMAIN" also in big red font, and various TLDs in the back in smaller 3D grey font. the company's name and logo is censored

People often ask me why do I choose to do pre-increments in my for-loops instead of post-increments. The answer is actually very simple. I don't fucking know, stop asking me that.

Been working on a Pong game recently, with different levels and buffs/debuffs. I wanted to make some small little games so I created a small C# framework, Sprout, so I can easily create 2D (and 3D!) stuff without the overhead of my engine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O2q... #dotnet #gamedev #csharp

Great work from you and everyone on the team! This looks great, really excited for it, I’ll definitely be trying out the alpha. As for the logo, I think it looks okay, especially in context with all the other Muse group logos. But I do agree that it could do with getting the waveform back!

I’ve had this #FPGA dev board I got from aliexpress for over a year now and can’t find the right software to program it. Anyone know what I’m missing? #electronics #FPGAdev

Is it bad that I quite like the #NintendoSwitch2? I can understand the console the prices, do not agree with the game prices though... Oh well. I have barely used my switch in 5 years but I have no ability to control how I spend money so I want one

Today I discovered that Tim Follin has uploaded their collective works to archive dot org. It's like a discography of chiptune music. Take a break, and enjoy some hot jams from games you've never played or heard of. There are bangers to be found everywhere! archive.org/search?query...

Anyone know how to get FL Studio running properly on Linux? It's annoying needing to dual boot just so I can use FL studio. Doesn't seem to play nicely with WINE though.

Our SDL3 bindings are on our experimental feed, and @aquagoose.com is already making good use of them! Here's a sneak peak of what SDL3's GPU APU looks like in 3.0.
using Silk.NET.Core;
using Silk.NET.SDL;

if (!Sdl.Init(Sdl.InitVideo | Sdl.InitEvents))
    throw new Exception($"Failed to initialize SDL: {Sdl.GetError()}");

WindowHandle window = Sdl.CreateWindow("Test SDL", 1280, 720, 0);

if (window == nullptr)
    throw new Exception($"Failed to create window: {Sdl.GetError()}");

GPUDeviceHandle device = Sdl.CreateGPUDevice(Sdl.GpuShaderformatSpirv, true, nullptr);
Sdl.ClaimWindowForGPUDevice(device, window);

bool alive = true;
while (alive)
{
    Event winEvent = default;
    
    while (Sdl.PollEvent(winEvent.AsRef()))
    {
        switch ((EventType) winEvent.Type)
        {
            case EventType.WindowCloseRequested:
                alive = false;
                break;
        }
    }

    GPUCommandBufferHandle cb = Sdl.AcquireGPUCommandBuffer(device);
    GPUTextureHandle texture = default;
    Sdl.WaitAndAcquireGPUSwapchainTexture(cb, window, texture.AsRef(), nullptr, nullptr);

    GPUColorTargetInfo targetInfo = new()
    {
        Texture = texture,
        ClearColor = new FColor() { R = 1.0f, G = 0.5f, B = 0.25f, A = 1.0f },
        LoadOp = GPULoadOp.Clear,
        StoreOp = GPUStoreOp.Store
    };

    GPURenderPassHandle pass = Sdl.BeginGPURenderPass(cb, targetInfo.AsRef(), 1, nullptr);
    
    Sdl.EndGPURenderPass(pass);
    Sdl.SubmitGPUCommandBuffer(cb);
}

Sdl.DestroyGPUDevice(device);

Sdl.DestroyWindow(window);
Sdl.Quit();

Thoughts on the new Discord redesign: Looks okay. Title bar doesn't integrate into KDE yet so there's just a giant useless bar at the top. Server icons are a bit small. They're also rounded rectangles instead of circles now for some reason. Oh and the new message box. Yeah n o

DarkViperAU $6000 Giveaway To Celebrate PC Upgrade (2x$3000) gleam.io/ofAN3/darkvi... To celebrate upgrading my system so I can record and upload content in 4k, I am sharing the love with a giveaway. Same way to enter as the last 30 odd giveaways, best of luck everyone!

DarkViperAU $6000 Giveaway To Celebrate PC Upgrade (2x$3000)
As I am going to be upgrading my system with the newest 50 series graphics card so I can better produce my content in 4k and I figured I'd take the opportunity to share some love and do a giveaway. I would just give away a graphics card, but giving money is easier and people can just spend it on whatever they want. There will be two winners, each recieving $3000 USD. You will recieve the equivalent in your chosen currency e.g 3000 USD is 4,745.41 AUD. You will be contacted via email and social media. I will track you down based on the info you give basically. The money will be sent preferably via Wise or Paypal, but I will organize it with the winner via whatever means necessary due to the large amount. Winner will be announced publicly via community post, discord announcement, and Twitter/Blue Sky post.

Been seeing people say that the new switch must have an OLED screen, and that a “LCD is unacceptable in 2025” But like - I genuinely don’t get the hype over OLEDs? Give me an LCD any day of the week, honestly. Better brightness, no retention issues, no ghosting, etc. I just don’t get it. IPS ftw imo

Having now fully swapped to the AMD machine I am amazed at how much that bad Intel 14th gen was impacting everything. No more hanging when starting every program, no more audio errors with zapping noises, no more random crashes or bsods. Not going back.

Why is there a part of me that wants to do exactly this except build a microcontroller into it and do all the things mentioned in the video to make it safe and support multiple power ratings etc Sounds like a fun if not somewhat dangerous weekend project.
