I've been wondering why fedora lags to all hell for a few seconds every once in a while, nearly frozen - sometimes crashes. turns out firefox video decoding is kinda fucked on linux and has been for years? `top` reporting 200% CPU usage on RDD ☠️ discourse.ubuntu.com/t/enabling-a...

Enabling accelerated video decoding in Firefox on Ubuntu 21.04

In this past year there has been work to make Firefox hardware decode video on Linux. Ubuntu 21.04’s switch to wayland luckily makes this feature more accessible and easier to enable. Benefits: Hard...

working with bevy is great because you can use the default plugins to get a prototype running, then fully cut out and replace them when they no longer suffice. I've completely replaced audio and input so far, because I'm doing fun audio/dsp things :3 #bevy #rust #dsp

my git commits are like a USB stick I use to share the most recent version of a project w/ many stacked changes - where I started to improve X, then Y begged for a refactor, which meant Z needed updating - and I also wanted to improve the makefile ergonomics, before finally getting back to X

part of why I don't like AI is bc it's so often the antithesis of caring for the little things, the appreciation of the mundane, of seeing beauty where others haven't yet been able to, and seeking genuine fundamental understanding all in the name of "get product faster" I find it so disheartening

day 3 of using social media after a 10+ year hiatus (hackernews doesn't count): the flame wars are starting. the websites are for humans. the shitposts are welcome. and the cool random indie games are popping up, exactly as planned. I like it here.

I'm getting kind of obsessed with atproto - like, I can just host my public content on my own server, and use nice interfaces like bsky.app to publish them in a certain way? blog posts with leaflet, code with tangled, all one protocol, and all stored as files I can look at in under /pds? fuck yes 😫

current goal is to make a real-time push-pull DSP so that you can like, use controller inputs to command an LFO which in turn modulates a sine wave that you can play out of your speakers. I've read through the ppFRP paper, but: lol. lmao, even. conal.net/papers/push-... alexa, order more club-mate
