Honestly, with a fresh-water rinse I could easily see that being beneficial.

Consider:

1. particle filters (or other cleaning steps)
2. custom water treatment like a bath
3. not just water, but recirculated heat as well
4. better possible water pressure (weak well pump), heat control

Maybe even the type of thing that could run off of solar or backup power for a planned shower.

Though yeah, I guess a bath (with a quick shower after) probably is a whole lot cheaper and easier to (plumb rather than) engineer. Plastic tubs have their own grossness, though.

I also imagine this fitting more as some sci-fi thing, not sure how well it’d be easy to manage water in space, though. My first thought would be people annoyed with having to vacuum up droplets, get blasted with air, or being stuck in a drying room as a safety procedure. And some sci-fi vat bath might still make more sense.

I’m going to go with the multiple causes for slowness (and that’s interpreted languages in general). In some cases, things might be usable if I weren’t on Zen+ still (newer stuff has better IPC among other things).

Things like JIT or no-GIL might reduce that, but I’m not sure that it’s that easy to fix (not being default (plus multiple options) seems to complicate bindings even).

It’s like saying it’s V E R Y _ W A R M but really it’s just low-poly without textures.

Although it’s as much of a technical thing for me. I want the low-storage-data, rendered in native-res, old (and smart) technique even if everybody else moved on. Also, less to do.

I just tested 2D text out a bit, spent quite a bit of time trying to fix aliasing (I had oversampling set too high, seems like that should be noted if not just 1.0 being default) which is the sort of problem that Textmesh does not have.

With 2D text I do like that shadow (combined with other colors) really makes it feel theme-like (plus outline can fill in the negative space, making non-color emojis look better with the right color). Stacked is even cooler (3D effect).

So if I keep it to 1 color, I can use the same font for each type of text:

Color emojis still have broken outlines though. With label3D oversampling doesn’t seem to work as well* (smaller pixel size+larger font for text clarity–>worse emoji outline alignment) but even for some characters alignment is even off in 2D (balloon, hammer&wrench are fine; eye, fire are not). Could be a font issue though, but the 2 I’ve tried are broken in slightly different ways.

* MSDF could work for single-color, but it messes up the fire icon I have (and makes straight lines a bit wobbly). Better for more standard fonts/designs, I guess.

So, just sort of a mess… simple text is fine, but even if color could be injected per-glyph (like if every vertex on the fire were set to yellow) that would add depth (I don’t know if that’d be a script, add-on, or some context/function in low-level shader code but it’s probably beyond me).

pub fn main() void {
    const stdout = std.io.getStdOut().writer();
    stdout.print("Hello, World!\n", .{}) catch unreachable;
}

That’s it. No macros. No build.rs. No Cargo screaming about outdated crates.

I’m not far enough in to say anything on memory safety, but in nim-lang it’s just:

echo("Hello World!")

(or even just echo "Hello World!")

I don’t know if anything else compares on simplicity unless maybe script languages with JIT are actually effective (Python no-gil etc), but even then I think I’d probably miss the flexibility that UFCS offers (maybe the standard library as well, at least I assume they wouldn’t be as powerful).

I do hope I’m reading your message correctly, and I’m not going totally off rails here misinterpreting what you meant 😅

Well, I wasn’t talking about agoraphobia. Instead, living in a sparse area (no car, not really spending money either) on top of other issues.

I’ve actually gone out on my bike (when I had some arbitrary destination reachable by the trail and things actually lined up) more than a few times, but I didn’t see much (if any) social opportunity there. The more dense direction I can go to is further away and is a tourist town (so, probably more expensive than I’d hope, then again maybe that’s just how it is everywhere).

Mostly the the “do you have” “No.” “Good!” (and “if you can’t find x” “use carbon-fiber x!”). So the pacing is off but the key part is the conversation being 1-sided. And also not having the tools/situation to even take the small step, at least for those with a metaphorically-half-sunken type life.

Some of that is where/how I live, that even bowling alone is a tad too optimistic of an activity.

Watching any video like this recommending something feels like Homer watching the foundation-repair video.

Aside from results, it’s also when you run into some issue that wastes time/effort at best and needs to be actively resolved (materials or other process stuff) at worst. Lots of ways that make it worse, too (lack of help, energy, money, transportation etc).

“Well, I believe I’ll vote for a 3rd candidate!”

“There’s a chance I could win the lotto. (I just haven’t bought enough tickets.)”

“Nothing bad will happen if I touch the stove, the glowing is probably just lights!”

Even if it’s not a good substitution for chest compressions (it’s 1AM, do you know where the horse’s heart is?), it makes me think of that CRUDBUMP song.

Scroll-wheel rolls up windows for me on XFCE (labwc). I can understand it that might not be what you’re looking for, though.

Yeah I tried it for XFCE yesterday*, noticed a few things I wanted weren’t there (because XFWM isn’t ported over) and promptly switched back. Didn’t seem to me like it was more responsive or anything like that**.

But I am still using a 1050Ti, so who knows. That also kind of kills my interest in the idea even if I didn’t have fixed-if-you-use-this-specific-DE type issues. I also don’t really like the idea of CSD.

* after looking up that labwc not being installed was why the session wouldn’t launch before

** entirely possible it is better in very specific scenarios, but the screen tearing that I see on X11 is diagonal (like the screen is 2 triangles, desynced) and honestly I don’t even know the exact game to test (as I don’t see tearing in videos or any other usage as far as I know)

Yeah, I don’t want anything that needs internet or some sort of AI model.

I don’t even mind older methods, so I guess DECtalk is probably the best option there is (because newer simple TTS is just as robotic but with worse aesthetic on the default voices) unless there are newer speech synthesis projects I don’t know about.

Plaintalk is quite the aesthetic too, but I imagine IP law keeps it out of free software.

Ideally I’d like a synthesis system that has a mix of different types of voices. Old-style robotic, more sleek robotic, semi-human sounding etc. Sounding good is more important than realism though, a non-convincing voice that can still pronounce things is better (some of that may be down to phoneme input as well, but it would be nice to have normal text input 90% of the time).

In Krita, Settings -> Themes

I’m guessing you’d have to make your own Kvantum theme and then apply it there (assuming you don’t also need to copy over?). Just a guess, theming in general seems like a mess to me.

As a dude I go from long hair to slightly-less-long hair by cutting it on each side above the shoulders. Pulled forward below the neck if long enough, sort of like the opposite of the unicorn trick (tried that in the past, but easy to mess up the layering).

Also probably makes more sense if you usually keep your hair in a ponytail, as any imbalance won’t be obvious.

Obligatory: Distance yourself from any IP as much as possible (even if you think a company is “cool with it”) especially on anything that can be scraped (names, descriptions, screenshots, video, text in files), and either way you should probably shut the fuck up about it until it’s done and you’ve released it.

That said, this site burns my eyes.

In my house the water pressure is low. Really low. Extra rinsing hair, scrubbing, and even then it still feels ineffective.

There is the other meaning, too. Not a slur, but also not safe either.
