[@thomasadam] (https://bsd.network/@thomasadam) Love this! I have a payphone in the living room hooked up to SDF's voip system using a contraption of line booster + voip gateway hooked into the old house phone wiring. I always wanted to have more phones throughout the house and do exactly this.

Same.

Just like how I never had a Facebook account, I aim to never touch these things either.

In general, it's probably good practice to avoid the society-destabilizing stuff brought to us by corpo- villains, I reckon.

Do not feed the robo-God.

[@siina] (https://fedi.criminallycute.fi/users/siina) As someone with multiple monitors with different dimensions and an asymmetric layout, I sympathize :) I'm using fvwm3 which works right most of the time, but there's still some bugs to be worked out, like context menus sometimes get rendered off-screen, which can be really annoying (although fixed with a restart of the application) - Doesn't seem to happen to everyone though... ( [https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/issues/779] (https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/issues/779) ) - WindowMaker also works with this setup, and doesn't have that bug, fwiw,... so there's alternatives beyond kde at least,...

Small [#gamedev] (https://mastodon.linkerror.com/tags/gamedev) engine update:

Today I finished the animation improvements I was working on. It's now possible to mix multiple active animations and precise seek them, pause them, play them back in reverse, individually.

Without this, I couldn't open the mech cockpit canopy door while it was also walking around :)

Managed to implement depth peeling in a day, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Things look a lot better now!

Lighting outside of the mech cockpit is no longer broken when looking through the transparent cockpit window.

Make no mistake, the above post is totally me procrastinating on actually implementing what I described! :) :)

First progress video on the mech game I'm working on...

[https://toobnix.org/w/a5uNnP83eQGGBSknNjvSj3] (https://toobnix.org/w/a5uNnP83eQGGBSknNjvSj3)

It all still looks pretty crappy. Obviously still have to make the UI pretty. And there's a huge issue with lighting through transparent objects, that I only discovered after I implemented being able to switch between internal and external views.

Note how the external view is darker, and later in the video actually shows the radius of a point light, where-as the internal view shows no external lighting at all? That's what you get when you have a deferred render engine, and you render transparent objects simply by sorting the scene by depth, without doing any depth peeling.

tl;dr I'm going to have to implement proper depth peeling. This will not be fun, and add extra render passes. :( So a bit more engine work needed after all. Oh well!

[@micheal] (https://social.ecliptik.com/@micheal) I run it in fvwm3 - FvwmButtons lets you swallow a gkrellm instance, which is quite nice!

[@micheal] (https://social.ecliptik.com/@micheal) 'black' is the best gkrellm theme! :)

[@Omstero] (https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@Omstero) godot lets you write c++ plugins/modules/whatever they call it, but not an easy/supported way to start from main() last I checked? Has that changed?
