‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Package Manager Where This Regularly Happens | Kevin Patel
｢ “It’s a shame, but what can you do? This is just the price of building modern web apps,” said Senior Frontend Engineer Mark Vance, echoing the sentiments of a community that completely relies on a 40-level-deep nested tree of unvetted packages maintained by pseudonymous strangers to capitalize a single string ｣
@mxfraud Turned out the fallback graphics was working the whole time
@mxfraud I ssh:ed from another computer and attempted to fix the graphics drivers, but checking the logs it turned out that I had another issue. The gnome display manager failed to start due to misconfiguration, the steps in this guide resolved the issue:
Decided to film the startup in 60fps and on like a single frame I can see the message:
"NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau"
Called it. lol. 🫠
My current theory is graphics driver issue, cause that's been the issue every time I've upgraded
And after the upgrade it doesn't work, same as last time
I had missed upgrading for a while, I was still on fedora 41
Doing a system-upgrade on my fedora install. Upgrading package 44 / 7207...
After typing "Start a" on my phone keyboard it suggests the words 'business' and 'fire' and that feels like polar opposites somehow

part of it is my ongoing rebellion against complexity. the simplicity of this approach offers a certain robustness that modern programming seems to have given up on entirely. "my image is some bytes in memory and i change colors by changing the bytes" is (in my opinion) robust in a way no modern graphics API can be

i think it's incredibly funny that i'm regressing in game tech as time goes on. literally writing my latest game in C with software 2D that uses blit functions i wrote myself
i wanna blame the absolute state of things in tech for this and that may be part of it but i think i'm also just *like this*
