I think I'll go and read a book. Which is a cryptoword for me taking a nap.
Are there any easy/free/cheap web statistics tracking options that I can use for my personal website that either don't require JS, or that at least respect users' privacy to a large degree? Feels like a tough tradeoff, but I'd like to at least know how people are getting to my site, and which pages they're visiting. #javascript #privacy #web #webdev
Never bothered to beat Gwyn in #DarkSouls 1, broke my heart to see the game end. That same feeling arises with the final DLC boss for Dark Souls 3.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, AS A SPEAR OF THE CHURCH I AIN'T LETTING YOU FINISH THE GAME EITHER! π

#Mastodon just passed a half million users; time for a #HalfMegaTooterParty!!!

The Complacent Class by Tyler Cowen is a #book about the lack of mobility and entrepreneurship that has been steadily increasing in the United States.
"We're working harder than ever to avoid change."

tomorrow we'll pass 1/2 million what the what
I'm curious to know if the fediverse, or any social network, has a clear idea of its number of active human participants. Number of accounts is maybe useful to some degree as a gauge of interest (i.e, interested enough to make a bot, or check it out once) but 'like it enough to stay & play' seems like a much better thing to know about if it's possible. Maybe it isn't, that feels likely. Presumably there's many abandoned accounts, but I daresay many people also just like to be quiet & spectate.
Realization: I don't want to follow "people", I want to follow "topics".
I follow "people" because they say interesting things on topics that interest.
But they also go on and on about things I don't care about and would happily skip.
I'm also missing out on a bunch of good posts because I haven't found and followed these people yet.
It should be possible to create topics, allow users to follow and post to topic.
Like Reddit, but decentralized and federated.
@teleclimber Following topics is sort of what hashtags try to solve, but you can't "follow" hashtags on mastodon as far as I could tell.
It's still possible to make a favorite of a given hashtag in your browser though, but that's not as good as it being part of the app. π
Maybe a pull request to #mastodon could add that though!
@eskay8 Great to hear about non-tech related podcasts, I need that!

@clee Thanks for sharing! Yeah tough comparison, I'm just going to have to suck it up and accept the extra power consumption! π
@clee How's the TDP treating you? I'm currently rocking an i3 with a 1080 and looking to upgrade to Ryzen, but mainly chose this processor for the low TDP. (I'm normally seeing like, 30 watts on idle even with the 1080).
@steeliestllama Do you have GPU acceleration enabled? It tends to cause bugs on some PCs in PhotoShop or Chrome.
If #math continues to trend, we need a may urgently TeX Support
@rrika Woah, Mesa can do that?
The official SPIR-V Compiler is coming along with HLSL support (but not for compiled HLSL):
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang/issues/362
One other option could be to decompile the shader binaries to regular HLSL, then compiling that using the alpha HLSL -> SPIR-V Compiler.
There's talks of going HLSL to LLVM -> SPIR-V over at the HLSL Compiler repo:
