@aeva 8086? :3
@pupxel so, no, but I have been pondering on and off whether or not it might be worth it to try to port mollytime to dreamcast

@aeva Currently the "dogshit wall" is #i486SX because #Linux dropped support for #i386 with Versions
3.4.99&3.6.9respectably, tho most people would say anything below #amd64 w/ #SSE2 (or #i686) is out of #mainstream support already, with #RHEL6 being EoL'd & #Debian being the last major distros offering #32bit support. -
i'm trying and failing to find a screenshot of the part of chrono trigger where Lucca says to Marle "Machines aren't capable of evil... humans make them that way", but it turns out there's a lot of fan art of that scene, which is nice.
anyways, computers aren't slow... it's programmers that make them that way
@aeva Sometimes the lack of programmers make them slow.
As in: I don't have the time to optimise because I already have to do all the work in the first place

@shinmera look as long as your not dumping everything inside react/electron you're probably on the good side of the curve

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"
@aeva ugh, this is so good. I am also guilty of this. Those SGI machines are gonna be part of something bigger one day, I say again for the 20th year in a row

https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aeva/110048470696471655Anyways, to kill time while waiting for dinner I had a look at what other hardware I had in that machine besides the Pentium E5800 and a soundblaster "SB Live!".
now, I don't meant to brag, but this power house also has a "Mesa Intel(R) G41 (ELK) (0x2e32)" UMA GPU with a whopping 1536MB of vram to work with and my choice of OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL ES2 🥵

I need to find a more dog shit computer to figure out where exactly the perf wall is. Maybe this means there's a riscv port in mollytime's future.
@aeva this is the secret optimization technique experts DON'T want you to know

Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

@francescotoniolo Grazie per aver coperto quell'area della MGW. Quest'anno tra l'altro finalmente le hanno dato anche più spazio espositivo degli scorsi anni, spero che si sia fermata molta più gente dagli espositori.

Comunque che grattugia si scrivesse con una g non me l'aspettavo. Un po' come collutorio con una t.

Meno male che ieri ho registrato la newsletter. Pronta da una settimana rischiavo che il mal di gola rovinasse tutto per una volta che ero in largo anticipo. Ora posso soffrire in silenzio con la gola che sembra una grattugia.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/115733506039424417
As I understand it, this still takes a fair bit of tech savvy and persistence.
But perhaps the dream of federation is the logical extension of what Elena is doing, once the tech is there to enable it for regular non-techies. Imagine that self-hosting was plug-and-play, for the most part -- like blogging is now. Everyone a free agent on a free web, no more centralized data hoarding and enshittification.
