Dad: “I don’t have my wallpaper anymore on my desktop !”
Me: “Ok, what’s in C:\User.…\Pictures” ?
Dad: "I don’t have C:, I juste have D:"
Me: “WTF ? You don’t have a C:\Windows folder ?”
Dad: “No, I just have a D:\ drive. Windows is installed on D”
How th fuck did he managed to not have a C drive ???
We have a long history of complaining and resisting to quite anything, bad or good. And also cutting head from time to time.
Thank you !

What an hypocrisy…
The 2ks was also the “terrorism” era. I don’t want to kill the mood, but nostalgia is very strong in erasing bad stuff.
But I’m feeling like you. I miss Counter Strike LAN parties and Linking Park too 🙂
Small word about OpenGL, as it seems confusing for many peoples:
OpenGL is a spec written by Kronos group. There is no such thing as OpenGL library, or OpenGL source code. You cannot “download” OpenGL. OpenGL is really just a buch of .txt files explaining how functions should be named and what they should do. This spec define an API.
Then, this API can be implemented by anyone, by writing code and putting it in a library.
GPU drivers implement this API. That means that Nvidia, AMD and Intel have their own implementation.
To have access to this API from your program, you have to “getProcAdress” all function you want to use from GPU driver’s DLL. As this is quite painfull, libs exist, like glew, that do it for you. These libs are really just a long list of getProcAdress for all entry points.
That’s also why you cannot “static link” with OpenGL. As function can only be retrieved at runtime.
Another interesting things is MESA. It’s a CPU implementation of OpenGL spec. So MESA is a lib, with source code and so on. You can download it, link against it, etc… This is very useful when you want to do 3D without GPU (yes, this happen, especially in medical domain).
Nah, we put things on fire only when some random dealer get shot by a cop.
Was thincking the same thing
Brave.
Because I installed it when it was pre-alpha version. Ended up to an ugly window with just an addresse bar. I though “this shit will never worked, yet another utopistic project, too bad…”
Then, came back 2 years later, gave him a 2nd chance and “OMG ! They fucking did it !”. So I keep it as a redemption for not having believed in the project at first.

Adding to this that, between Boomer and Gen Z, there is a generation that equally hate both of them 😂
Hi,
I think this is my first stuff on Lemmy. I’ll wait a bit before posting a post, I’m not as brave as you ;)
I’m really pissed of this “I’m sad 'cause I’m poor. So if I had money I would be happy.”
(Poverty imply sadness) does not imply (wealth imply hapiness). That’s basic formal logic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraposition The Contraposition is (not sadness imply not poverty). So, If you are happy, you have money.
Expressed differently, if all the poor are sad, we can state that a happy person is not poor. But we cannot state anything about a rich person being happy or not.
