I recently added a rendering pass in my engine to compute volumetric shapes via raymarching.

@froyok Trying a version of this rescaling + threshold on a 2D black and white silhouette image I think gives a rough idea of the behavior:
@froyok The math would take some thought but it might be possible to sample the vertical and horizontally squished versions at render time, do the threshold, and skip the larger intermediate texture entirely Then the shadows would have fewer artifacts and the overall memory bandwidth used should be smaller.
(this feels like the kind of idea that one of the elder graphics people will chime in and be able to point out some prior art and improvements from 25 years ago)

@mirth Given the critical part here is the edges, the demonstration you propose doesn't help on this issue.
Then one solution could be compute bits at half-res where there isn't edges (so edges are at full res), but this sounds a bit like the MSAA or Variable rate solution that were proposed in other replies, they are unfortunately difficult to implement in my engine. -

Rimedio subito!
Ma non credo che parli di fediverso 😂

@etc @eniko thanks! That's definitely one. There was I think another still from her that involved attaching the vibrator to one of those tools that go into the lock, but that was definitely the first I saw.

@G3rt e chi mette in dubbio che il colonialismo abbia portato morte e distruzione? Anche le conquiste di Roma non sono state una passeggiata di salute, così come quelle dei khan o dei califfi. Io però non vivo al tempo della regina Vittoria e non parlo latino. Ciò che vedo oggi in Europa sono poche decine di staterelli litigiosi, economicamente, demograficamente e militarmente insignificanti, incapaci di imporre anche solo politicamente una qualsivoglia visione.

@jwz Given the ridiculously stupid things happening in the world now, I had this sinking feeling that it would be for real. But after reading FloofyWolf's full post, I'm fairly certain it is satirical.

For me #Linux is the last bastion of computing freedom, now that MS and Apple appear to have become largely just #enshittified marketing/surveillance/fee-charging engines. I can certainly imagine a future where Linux (of all flavors) is under all-out assault from the tech-bros.
