the piano was probably new in 2000. i built the now-repurposed computer in 2011. it's funny how differently these things age
alright, I've successfully managed to bring the Compiano Forte up to the latest Ubuntu Studio 24 Point Whatever and sound still works even, and I am completely stuffed with ｢thanksgiving｣ just positively filled to the brim
I got clang 20 installed on this machine, which is important to building mollytime, but, uh huuuuuh, Ubuntu Studio 24 Point Whatever doesn't seem to have SDL3 available

semi-related, I've decided that my collection of mostly functioning old computers that I've been holding on to just in case is now to be hereby known as my "Beowulf Clutter"

i've got three versions of clang on this computer and meson refuses to use the good one

@aeva i thought it had an option to specify a clang executable...?

@JamesWidman when I punch in clang++-20 it just uses clang++ which gets it 18

@aeva *me, a piece of posix software* this is my emotional support clang

@JamesWidman oh wait I think I successfully tricked it

ok I got it using the good clang, but it's not using the good clang's standard library somehow, I think it's using GCC's?

@aeva i for one support your son's freedom to choose whichever clang he likes

read 'em and weep ladies, mollytime runs just fine on a Core 2 Duo

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place this fucking rules so hard. Being able to follow along as you post about making music, and writing music software and making mollytime and all the synths... it's so cool. Thank you for posting about all this. I look forward to whenever you do.

glxinfo -B reports this machine has hardware accelerated 3D graphics supporting a maximum GL core version of 0.0 (and compat version of 2.1) so I guess for all intensive porpoises this machine does not in fact have hardware accelerated 3D graphics anymore
I didn't check, but I'm guessing SDL picked the software rendering pipeline, because the UI was a bit sluggish. however! all of the patches I tried played just fine, so the Core 2 Duo can handle the synth pipeline which is the important part

my main takeaways from this exercise so far are 1) I'm a long ways off from ever needing to optimize the audio thread performance; none of my patches are complex enough yet for it to be problematic that I'm still just chaining a few dozen lambdas together passing around doubles through a long chain of shared pointers at 48000khz 2) until polyphony makes me eat my words, the benefit of doing so will mostly be in improving battery life on my laptop, and 3) the UI perf has room for improvement

and that last point might really just be a case for getting a GPU for that machine

oh holy smokes, /proc/cpuinfo says this is a 3.2 ghz cpu. i assumed this machine was somewhere closer to 1 ghz

@aeva even the retro vibe machines are fast now

ah, it's an Intel Pentium E5800 "wolfdale" processor, so either I am mistaken about it being a Core 2 Duo or it is one and the branding is just confusing, but either way wikipedia dates this somewhere between 2008 and 2012. I would have purchased this either late 2011 or 2012 because I remember buying it to celebrate getting a job at Creative Commons

@lauramassera Hai assolutamente ragione, ma diciamo anche che nel 2025 è impossibile non riconoscere che la malvagità antisociale è il tratto distintivo di quelle Big Tech che spesso si presentavano eticamente candide.
L'unica eccezione è probabilmente quella di Apple che effettivamente ha deciso, sia anche solo per questioni di marketing e narrativa aziendale, di opporsi alle nuove tendenze del cattivismo trumpiano

@mattwiebe.blog what a journey!
I’m really impressed by your plans... I don’t think I’d ever have enough courage to pull something like that off. I hope I’ll get the chance to try your pizza someday!
Would be a great reason to visit Mexico 🙂
...and thanks for all your work on the ActivityPub plugin, I really miss your contributions ❤️

@OpenSoul era quello che mi stavo chiedendo anch'io. Il guaio è che è difficile fare una discussione seria, perché la maggior parte dei commenti che si leggono sono a tesi...

@stefano I think, it had been like this for a while. Sites for lots of more or less big projects, especially if they have paid version of a product, are marketing and buzzwords. That why I usually go straight to Documentation->How to get started for some simple overview and examples.
Looks like they just added those AI buttons without changing a site much.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

La battaglia per la libertà cognitiva nell'era dell'intelligenza artificiale aziendale
La libertà di pensiero non è solo uno scudo contro le intrusioni, è il terreno su cui costruiamo tutto il resto: il diritto di esprimersi, dissentire, credere, imparare, amare. Richiede sia libertà negative (da manipolazione, sorveglianza, coercizione) sia positive (di immaginare alternative, di cercare la verità, di plasmare le nostre opinioni e preferenze).

@Elizafox when I first saw the original post, I snickered*, but thought it wasn't worth boosting. Then I saw it a second time because of Mastodon timeline reset shenaningans, I snickered again, but this time I boosted it, because I felt that something that could make me snicker two times in a row was definitely worth boosting.
(* not sure if this is the right word?)

@NocturneGames https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.17033 here's the paper for the algorithm, i didn't spot a link to it in the article
