The tiling concept that was shown off some time ago for GNOME looks amazing

I'll maybe have to think about downscaling videos the next time, because it also took a very long time to load for me, maybe it just failed because the download was somehow interrupted?

I implemented this shader in only like 2 evenings, but I also mostly knew the techniques required for this and with a physics major the maths behind it came somewhat naturally to me :) The fact that everything can be done with just the one shader file also made it a lot easier, because I did not have to deal with creating external textures or compute shaders or anything.

Im also just using a simple quad mesh at the moment, and you can kind of see that the waves are a little short on vertices, so adding a LOD system would probably first be necessary to create more realistic waves. Otherwise, if you play with the parameters and maybe change the function from a sin to something that looks more like an ocean wave, you could probably achieve fairly realistic water with just sum of sine (altough someone will have to calculate the derivative for that new function, or you could think about using a 1d texture and calculating the slope from that).

Also, wolfram alpha

For me personally there is no open source calculator on android that even comes close to Hiper Calc Pro. Having actual expressions and physical constants makes things so much easier and makes the app better than most physical scientific calculators.

Imo using a text based tool for presentations is really counterproductive because presentations should use as little text as possible.

For me currently, libreoffice impress is actually the best option because it has all the necessary features (wysiwyg style editing, svg support, latex equations, some animations).

Vulkan isnt that new though so a 1660 should be fine, right?

The first time I tried ubuntu I did not install it because it felt like half of the screen space was used up by the sidebar, top bar and window decoration so yeah.

That little detail put me off of installing linux for like a year or so because I did not knowthat you can easily change stuff like that
