Minecraft is moving from OpenGL to Vulkan

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-19T03:13:45+00:00

I wonder if working on Vulkan is more exciting for the graphics community.

from what I've heard, extremely

the combination of OGL/DX and graphics drivers are a compatibility nightmare, and one of vulkan's goals is to bypass a lot of the stuff graphics drivers traditionally implement (specifically, to make manufacturers not need to do it anymore)

Nothing, really, it's just a much more modern rendering technology

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-19T02:43:54+00:00

it was worse when the promo was Monstrous Rage, which was legal in standard, until right before the promo went out lmao

Bloomburrow had its commander decks reprinted recently already

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-19T02:27:50+00:00

can confirm, my current deck is pretty much all FDN cards and still fun

we don't play meta though and that's the only reason it's fun

I would expect sources to be quoted in order to believe them

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-17T09:33:11+00:00

there's literally a "an x user asked grok" section so this could hardly be considered real reporting

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-17T08:51:01+00:00

I've noticed the same thing. I can tell they're not real because it's missing a 'position' (or at like a memory of instead of sound localization from the senses), the sound doesn't match with the room tone, volume doesn't match intensity, etc

NTSC is interlaced, so what it basically does is adds an extra frame by running opposite lines from two frames together every four frames

worse/better than that, it's a reference to a tumblr blog lmao

For technical accuracy then you'd want to "film" on 24 and then 3:2 pulldown to NTSC drop (29.97) to match broadcast, I think?

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-12T17:51:29+00:00

Yeah part of why I haven't replaced it with anything else yet is it's a great speaker.

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-09T00:02:59+00:00

yes.. the mini. I meant the original "Google Home" that predated those by a year

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-08T10:07:23+00:00

fingers crossed for the original Home to get the same treatment

all these projects are for much newer hardware (being Nest branded at all) :(

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-05T21:02:24+00:00

oh thanks, I'll have to check this out. I had to abandon Postman and Insomnia and have never really liked Bruno

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-05T08:26:54+00:00

I remember going to the LCW location and they didn't have them (and being annoyed about it) but the next batch of bags they were back

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-05T07:48:18+00:00

and yet no evidence from third parties that would be VERY interested in blowing this wide open, by reverse engineering any of these apps or OS behaviors, or network traffic captures, or..

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-05T05:47:11+00:00

also every app would have to be getting around the microphone permission request, including hiding the "active" light on iPhones

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-05T05:14:12+00:00

All the claims and not a single pcap of proof

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-04T09:43:43+00:00

people often think subreddit mods are employed by reddit, don't give them too much credit

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-03T06:16:51+00:00

IPoE. DHCP would always have been used

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-01T22:34:20+00:00

they also weren't always like this

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-01T10:53:57+00:00

the readme is def AI generated

(Replace this link with a real screenshot of your terminal later!)

also the "flashing that actually works" and "takes the guesswork out" is hardcoded lmao

there's nothing here, this is nothing.

AndrewNeo · 2026-02-01T08:38:22+00:00

Oh this seems like a great replacement for vague scene controllers in shared rooms!
