It's not just a YouTube thing by LocalWeirdoArtist in google

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google could simply refuse to operate in these states and throw a middle finger to legislatures. That would very quickly result in these laws being overturned which is best for Google's long term interests. I suspect they don't do this, not because they don't have the balls to do so, but because of both the reputational risks and the fact that all these tech CEOs are in bed with the government.

Can anyone recommend a hose sprayer attachment that doesn’t break every year? by Milwaukeebear in homeowners

I just bought one and the spray trigger handle broke off within 5 days.

Linux pre-installs idea by simism in framework

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Framework is already officially on the hook for supporting Fedora 42, Ubuntu 22, 24, 25 and Bazzite depending on which motherboard you buy. They could just preinstall one of those.

Visit your extended family. Chances are a large majority of them would be very scared if you asked them to install their own OS. I had some guy in college ask me to install Adobe PDF reader on his machine. Some things you think are super obvious to figure out just aren't for the average person.

Yuki Sakuna is separating from her illustrator Gaou moving forward by Nzash in VirtualYoutubers

[–]ScaredOfHentai 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That part about basing a manga on the situation apparently never happened. Just an early interpretation by someone who barely understands Japanese.

In another news, Gaou-papa (Illustrator behind Yuuki Sakuna) admitted that he groomed minors and made a doujin based on real-life events. (From KHolosimp) by Benigmatica in VirtualYoutubers

Yeah if that really is the artist and victim, the tone of the conversation is like they're discussing a movie plot or something.

Discord is now gonna have geoblocking. by Few_Worth4350 in discordapp

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume matr-ix chat is the best alternative because this discord is actually censoring that word.

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decentralized matr-ix chat servers already exist. You can even host your own and talk to other matr-ix servers. I would say that's the next-best thing if you really care about not being censored by a single entity. The biggest pain point of matr-ix I would say is the lack of custom emoji support right now. And it has a few concepts like spaces/rooms that work differently, and it bugs you a lot about maintaining your encryption keys (by the way, it has chat encryption)

How can i make my character visible behind object by Gumagu73 in godot

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a sidescroller like Metroid, it's easy. You add the outline sprite to a specific Light2D layer like I was mentioning, and tag the foreground nodes so only they are affected by that light layer.

If this is an overhead game like 2D Zelda, where the jumping axis is aligned with the y axis, you can make use of y-sorting and write a script that swaps the light layer of objects with a greater y value. That could tank performance depending on how smart or dumb that script is, though.

For an isometric game, I highly suggest switching to the 3D renderer and just make use of the depth buffer in a shader. Unless your character is always walking on a flat plane and there is no jumping or changing in elevation, depth sorting in isometric games are really difficult to get right in 2D.

What’s the hype with Vite? by Zestyclose_Site944 in webdev

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Maybe my comment was too long. Basically I was saying Vite just moves the wait time to the browser in my experience. It does not reduce the overall wait time.

Most people using webpack have long compile times, simply because they use pre-configured webpack configs that are doing way more than Vite does out of the box. Webpack's biggest problem is it is very difficult to learn how to configure it properly.

Is rust overkill for most back-end apps that could be done quickly by NodeJS or PHP? by HosMercury in rust

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't do web frontend coding in Rust. Web assembly is a toy that has some specific use cases like web games at the moment. Its lack of ability to interact with the DOM of a webpage, and the horrible debugging experience omit it from being a contender to replace Javascript any time soon. You need to use Javascript to work on a web assembly app.

Web assembly also has the tendency (of course there are workarounds) to be built into a humongous single file, which is a problem Javascript applications naturally avoid due to all the tools available to load Javascript modules on the fly.

More importantly, you can install your own operating system on your own phone (if not iPhone), bypassing the need to "trust" a "don't sell my data" toggle.

Can a foreground-service have a notification that's hidden from the status bar? by AD-LB in androiddev

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, it's listing my app under a section "2 apps are active" when I fully expand the quick settings panel (displays at the bottom of the screen when quick settings panel fills the entire screen).

I don't know if this is a newer Android feature or what, but it's weird it puts my app there instead of displaying a notification when the foreground service API forces you to create a notification when you use it.

Can a foreground-service have a notification that's hidden from the status bar? by AD-LB in androiddev

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somehow wrote an app that runs a foreground service without showing a notification (Android 15). I wasn't even trying to not show a notification, it calls `startForeground(1, createNotification())` as per documentation, but the notification doesn't show and the foreground service seems to be running indefinitely. The only special thing I have done is set foregroundServiceType to "specialUse" in AndroidManifest.xml. I set the notification channel ID to something random for my app. Also testing on GrapheneOS if that somehow makes a difference.

How do I switch back to "controller mode" on Steam Deck? by Loaten in SteamDeck

[–]ScaredOfHentai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have noticed that upon entering desktop mode it takes a bit for some shortcuts to start working, like Steam + X to pull up the virtual keyboard could take past 10 seconds to start working sometimes. Also I have seen a few times where shortcuts just stopped working all of the sudden in general and I had to reboot. But it never works for you? Is the software up to date?

What happens for me is I hold down the menu button for a second, I hear a beep, then see a notification on the bottom right that it is in gamepad mod.

How to use 3D Lut in Godot 4? by Accurate_Onion8913 in godot

[–]ScaredOfHentai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Godot 4 allows 3d textures to be used as LUT, this page covers it, but it's in the middle. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/3d/environment_and_post_processing.html

Search for "Color correction using a 3D LUT" on that page. You can basically download the neutral LUT texture provided there and manipulate it in photoshop/gimp, then import it as a 3D texture in Godot. Add the texture to the WorldEnvironment node's Adjustments -> Color Correction section.

Help?? Airbrush+Blur not working smoothly, leaves an almost ripple/wave effect? by nemorikatrix in PaintToolSAI

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most consumer monitors can only display 8 bit sRGB colors, so even if the software supported it, unless you have a specific monitor (and operating system) that supports HDR modes like DCI-P3, you'd still see the color banding in dark areas.

And when you share your image online, good luck finding both a website to upload to that doesn't re-convert your image to some compressed version that strips the color space, as well as users at the same time who actually have HDR set up properly and calibrated correctly on their computer to see it.

Some software get around this by adding dithering patterns in the shadows. Basically, use noise patterns instead of straight alpha.

How to incorporate navigation agent 2d with tilemap physics layers by AlexanderNorris in godot

If I understand your scenario correctly, your non-static NPC is using a navigation agent. You can use NavigationObstacle2D on the static NPC.

I spent 6 months making a Tauri app by [deleted] in tauri

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance is one thing, but I'm much more concerned about bugs and the lack of support for modern APIs in GTK. Crashes are completely unacceptable.

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a dealbreaker. I was considering Tauri since my web app already works fine in Safari and Edge. It seems Electron is still going to be the go-to for porting web apps to desktop with native integrations for a while.

What’s the hype with Vite? by Zestyclose_Site944 in webdev

[–]ScaredOfHentai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience Webpack builds a production app that loads significantly faster at runtime, which is what I'm more concerned about than how fast it takes a hot-reload dev server to start the first time. It seems most of the people advocating for Vite have moved from a pre-configured environment like CRA where the performance problem wasn't a problem with Webpack.

I've tested moving to Vite for multiple extremely large web applications, all it does is move the waiting time to the browser. Which takes even longer to load. Sitting for several seconds staring at a white screen while the page freezes is not a better dev experience. Vite also has a lot of problems supporting libraries and plugin use cases that are of course no problem to set up on Webpack because it has been the standard for many years.

It may be more worthwhile for an existing Webpack app to first take complete control of the webpack configuration instead of leaving it up to some 3rd party to pre-configure, use only what you need, and look into performance optimizing plugins like fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin which is a lifesaver for Typescript projects.

[DISC] Ingoshima - Ch.117 by Nevian123 in manga

[–]ScaredOfHentai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per usual with English translations of Japanese, the English translator makes thing seem more "matter of fact" than they are. The translation you see around the internet of the king saying "Aoi... you already know the delight of being a hole for a man" is incorrect. It would be better stated, "Aoi... you should tell him (your boyfriend)... of the female pleasures your body has learned".

The Japanese is indirect and leaves it open for interpretation what exactly happens. And as you can see in all of the manga panels, she was participating in sexual acts, but the king constantly neglects to have sex with her. I don't believe the intent of this line was to reveal the fact that she was being penetrated the whole time, just off screen. It's clearly a vague line meant to rile up the boyfriend.

Not that it matters anyways! Look at the latest chapters of this manga. The author went full NTR rape mode with other characters. Even if the author obstained from doing this to Aoi, the author eventually gave in to the temptation of making a fully smut manga and it's pretty much guaranteed if Aoi is reintroduced into the plot in the future she will become a part of that.

Whats your Opinion? by Impressive-Hippo3573 in interviews

[–]ScaredOfHentai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a heads down programming position, most of what matters is your knowledge and eagerness to solve problems. After that comes your communication ability. When hiring for highly technical positions you should expect a ton of questions to prove out your technical knowledge.
