@samwilson oh no 😬

We live in the sort of timeline where I had to spend extra effort while shopping for my new prescription glasses frame to make sure it was unambiguously clear that these aren't surveillance pervert glasses.

Yep. We're there.

These horrifying non-consensual surveillance glasses are everywhere now. That's life now. I hate it 🤓

BSNES includes a "Ruby" support library for offering common interfaces for audio, video, & input on different platforms.

For audio it supports PulseAudio (via either of its protocols), Open Sound System, OpenAL, Direct Sound, Wave Out, XAudio2, WASAPI, AO, ASIO, & ALSA.

For input it supports Carbon, Quartz, XLib, Windows, UDev, & SDL. Specifically for Joypads there's ports to SDL, XInput, UDev, I/OKit, & Direct Input. For keyboards there's Carbon, Quartz, raw input, & XLib.

1/2?

For mice there's ports for raw input & XLib. And then there's shared code for said raw input.

For video output there's ports for GDI, GLX & GLX2, DirectDraw, WGL, XShm, Direct3D, CGL, & XVideo.

And there's some OpenGL abstractions particularly relating to shaders. Including compiling shaders, setting uniforms, dynamically-linking OpenGL, configuring OpenGL according to datafiles, some baseline shaders, a public API, textures, & surfaces.

2/2.1!

I'll note that some of these APIs are more verbose than others, & if you want to know which Linux's: Most of them! Linux gives you (meaningless) choices.

2.2/2.2 Fin for today! Tomorrow: OpenGL Shaders emulating CRTs.

With the death of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump and a vocal advocate for Ukraine, will the White House's recent tilt in favor of Kyiv last? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/15/world/politics/us-lindsey-graham-ukraine-initiatives/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #lindseygraham #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #volodymyrzelenskyy

@douginamug @waozi Be careful, before long you'll be writing your own! :-P

I just got back from Alaska last week. I mean, the inner passage is cool and all, but I don't think it's a new Strait of Hormuz... But can't wait to see if Trump tries to start tolling ships there (though, hey, Canada, if you want leverage...)

@natty I LOVED WORKING ON TOOLING

@TheBreadmonkey I read this in the voice of the guy talking in Several Species of Small Furry Animals.

We'll all need accessibility features eventually, better get to work on them ASAP

Mexican Pres. Claudia Sheinbaum said Th that Mexico planned to file U.S. criminal complaints over Mexican citizens who have been killed by ICE.

“We cannot turn a blind eye to ​the Mexicans who have died,” Sheinbaum said.

The U.S. wouldn't if roles were reversed.

How C++20 improved the for-loop syntax

a good thing about vibe-coding is that it's better than doom-scrolling—at least there's creativity involved (LLMs are nowhere near "just do everything for you" when it comes to software; at least for useful, working software)

@ChuckMcManis I don't know of any other issue other than child abuse that cuts across political and age demographics like this. Also, the negative polling on data centers has risen dramatically in the last year. Incredibly as people start to understand it all. Politicians and the Fascist Big Tech Billionaires ignore this wellspring at their own peril.

Is it a day that ends in y again? New perfect 10 just dropped
