I take my shitposts very seriously.

The entire “non-ideological” thing is just him not wanting to be challenged for being a shitter.
I already know a couple of mine:
One day the Year of the Linux Desktop will arrive.
And some people will want to pound the ecosystem back into the 80s because their obsolete, bug-ridden pile of technical debt isn’t the most popular (insert system component here) in the world, and the best alternative has some issues.
Well if you want to turn this into a dick measuring contest…
Your GPU might tell you to glue cheese to your pizza, but at least it’s fast!
They literally did this with The Witcher 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZgL3wnkmE&t=2m56s
Depends on how you define “accurate”. Even full ray tracing is just an approximation based on relatively few light rays (on an order of magnitude that doesn’t even begin to approach reality) that is deemed to be close enough where increasing the simulation complexity doesn’t meaningfully improve visual fidelity, interpolated and passed through a denoising algorithm. You can do close enough with a clever application of light probes, screenspace effects, or using a second camera to render the scene onto a surface (at an appropriate resolution).
If you think that video is representative of the release game’s actual performance and fidelity, I have several bridges to sell you.
Development and design can use RT all day long, that’s not the issue. They have the benefit of not having to run ray tracing in real time on consumer hardware. At the end of the day, unless they want to offload all of that computation load onto the customer forever (and I really mean all RT all the time), they’ll eventually have to bake most or all of that information into a format that a rasterizer can use.
Yes, I’m sure every player spends the majority of their game time admiring the realistic material properties of Spider-Man’s suit. So far I’ve never seen a game that was made better by forcing RT into it. A little prettier if you really focus on the details where it works, but overall it’s a costly (in terms of power, computation, and price) gimmick.
You should look up reviews for the Haribo sugar-free gummy bears.

Fuck university. Pick up a trade and get industry certifications. You’ll end up with real marketable skills without going into crippling lifelong debt. Some training agencies also offer help to find jobs. If you get lucky, your employer might even sponsor your education.
Tradie life is not glamorous, but it’s better than working as a cashier while having a bachelor’s.
People are losing their shit, calling for boycotts, and throwing around accusations of transphobia over comments in the source code and a single line of documentation? Seriously? And brigading the developer three years after the fact‽ I was ready to write off Ladybird, but damn, this was taken way out of proportion.
I’m all in for equal treatment, but people need to get a perspective. Such an extreme reaction will ultimately hurt the cause they’re trying to advocate for. Getting bent out of shape and publicly brigading something for every perceived slight, every time someone’s feelings are hurt, or can’t get their way, will get them – and the demographic or movement they represent – labelled as undesirable.
