it's funny how modern x64 linux distros that you can't install on 32-bit x86 machines still include i386 versions of everything in their package repositories because wine sort of still needs them (well, i can't think of a strong other reason to include them)

idk why but this is the funniest sequence of youtube titles/thumbnails to me

I feel like most in-house software is tacitly released under the Hot Potato Licence.

By the way, this survey from a few months ago says 66% of "experienced advertisers" run adblock, higher than the American average of 52%.

More and more websites have anti-adblock measures these days, some going so far as to tell you to uninstall your ad blocker altogether. I understand the impulse, but you are basically telling your users to meaningfully reduce their security for your benefit.

mentally i'm here

it fits with how tf2 makes heavy use of pretty cartoonish fonts, which are clearly vector and always look sharp, come to think of it

@hikari A quirk on the "it's that old?" element is TF2 was groundbreaking for using SDFs. Like, it seems to have been the event that popularized SDFs, when I first got into SDFs a lot of the early stuff written about it referenced TF2 and I think a paper that was written about it

wait, sdf rendering of text 1) only requires using alpha testing, you don't even need shaders, 2) is in team fortress 2?

i had no idea it was that old or that simple to implement, damn https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/2007/SIGGRAPH2007_AlphaTestedMagnification.pdf
