Comment Re:4chan to 8chan (Score 1) 254

You're correct, all that's been left behind is those in denial and the lesser class. The former will follow to 8chan while the latter are worthless anyway.

However, 8chan isn't doing so great itself. It might die as well.

A few years from now, people are going to look back at this as The Great Splintering. The Exodus lead to the great 4-8 split, and when both of them die, it's just going to become hundreds of small minor chans struggling to become.

And the only thing you are doing by that is purposefully offending someone.

No, it has nothing to do with offending anyone, it has to do with referring to others how I choose to refer to them, rather than the other way around. It's not about insulting people, that's only incidental. If they don't like it, well too bad, they can suck my feces.

But that doesn't make me an asshole, even if they get a brown smile.

And if [you agree with me], you'll put people into the imaginary social boxes that they want to be in instead of the imaginary social boxes you want them to be in

Well I don't agree with you, so that is that.

I will put these people into whatever "imaginary social boxes", as you call them, that I please. And as such, if I do not put her into the box she desires, she will not considered a man to me, in which case she is indeed not a man according to your very own definition.

[She] was already a man to [herself].

Certainly; but I care not of her own self image.

so the only question is whether to [agree with me] or not

What an incredible debating strategy you have there! I think I shall fuck it directly off!

Your argument fraudulently conflates "child molester" with "pedophile", and then uses that argue that LGBT positions are all immoral.

There is simply no argument in support of the currently popular pervs that does not equally apply to all other pervs, as long as somebody can claim consent was involved.

Yes, and? You may see it as a slippery slope into hell, but I see it as a positive progression towards liberty for all.

No, please.

The reason to use 320x240 is because the pixels were square.

I would agree with you, except DOOM actually did use 320x200, and indeed the pixels were rectangular. It's a common problem that forks (known in DOOM circles as "source ports") face when they try to change up the rendering engine. Many of the graphics in the game were even designed with the knowledge that the screen would be stretched due to the non-square pixels, meaning that unstretching would degrade them.

320x200 has slightly rectangular pixels, but the framebuffer is linear and fits in 64KiB, which is the largest segment size that can be accesses in real mode DOS.

Yeah, except doom uses DPMI, so this doesn't even matter.

The issue with opening up the remaining bits (at least OpenCL and Vulkan) is that the drivers are cross-OS and include a lot of OS-specific bits (for other OSes than Linux) that we don't have the right to expose publicly.

Is the windows display driver API not publicly disclosed? I thought anyone could write a display driver for windows.
