Have you tried to write Vulkan code? It's insane, how is anyone supposed to understand that. The frameworks have abstracted […]

There must be some law I am unaware of that all vintage/retro PC equipment purchased on eBay must smell like tobacco products. Doesn't matter if it's completely empty, still stinks. Yuck.

It seems like all these OMG HACKED BY AI stories are coming down to trusting user input with sanitization and complete lack of data/code separation. Are these all just way overblown marketing stunts? Am I loosing my mind here? I feel like I'm missing something otherwise.
