  • There’s no firm delineation between scripting or programming. In many cases it boils down to “scripting is when you program in a language I deem lesser” which is just rude.

    Coding is just the old timey word for encoding. I.E. basically doing what an assembler would do automatically these days. Any programming language in common use involves much more than that and deserves to be called programming.

    Honestly I’ve never had an easier time getting that sort of thing to work than on linux. As soon as there’s a font installed providing emoji pretty much any program will pick up on that. Even got a Toki Pona font working just by installing it. Now I can IRC in languages no one speaks!

    Games dont feel very optimized anymore

    This is on purpose. Game studios decided that instead of bothering with all sorts of complex graphics hacks to get games to run fast they can just crank ray tracing and use temporal anti-aliasing. The result being that you need one of the latest generation cards to run these games at all since they don’t degrade gracefully to lower specs.

    Until very recently I was still running a 1080, which runs pretty much any game (even recent ones) at high graphics settings. As soon as a game uses ray tracing or temporal anti-aliasing it won’t even run at the lowest potato settings possible.

    The invincible should not look like this at <15fps and be a blurry mess when moving on minimum settings while halo infinite looks way better while rendering way more things on the same machine at high settings at 60fps.
