Is it true that the C programming language stands for "Computer"

Istg I am putting Unity next to React on my mental list of technologies that people use in situations where they make life much, much harder because they don't know the fundamentals.
Do you think the NES solved this by making Mario a circle? No! It solved it by using fixed point arithmetic *and so should you*. Circular hitboxes are such a bad solution to this problem. If Mario is a circle he's going to slide off corners, bounce weirdly, and generally misbehave and you'll have to spend as long again tidying up the fallout from *that* fudge. All game dev is full of hacks, obviously, but you can at least avoid the very first thing you do being quite such an egregious one.

gurp gurp gurp gurp....
looking somewhat better but still kinda crap. maybe xfce isn't the way to go but i dunno what else to use
one day they will release a microsoft windows that runs of old raspberries and then finally they'll be useful for something
maybe the reason why i can't use linux is that i vehemently hate the idea of having to use the terminal as a mandatory imperative to get my computer to do anything
please is there any window/desktop manager/environment for #linux that's suitable for 1280x480 without rolling your own from scratch because this isn't it
you have a touchscreen that is 90 or 180 degrees offset from how the picture is? Great here's where you input a mathematical matrix to correct it
No we won't give you shortcuts for "left" or "upside-down" do your homework
every time i have to use Linux in anything but the milquetoastiest of desktop use cases i loathe it
how is the xorg conf something deprecated that you shouldn't make one when it's the only way to tell the computer the orientation of your touchscreen
i wish i could just put windows on the damn thing
also how do i make a touchscreen actually report as a touchscreen
like i want to drag to scroll and it selects text instead
what's a good Linux desktop/window manager/environment for a low resolution landscape touch screen
lxde randomly makes things (like the shutdown panel) have 0.5pt text and still not fit the screen because it's vertical

Golfshrine followers: I have an RSS feed now!
https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/rss.xml
This is 100% hand-written, but validates more or less fine and appears to work correctly in Feeder, so I think it's ready for prime time. Follow my journey to collect the unending torrent of cheap old virtual golf in your RSS reader of choice!
oh i also have a tiny mono audio amp coming and i plan to use the tiny little speaker that comes with the nc100
