Many are mad at Discord for age verification, but many fail to realise they're doing it because of recent government policies. Why would a free service without intrusive ads want to spend millions on ID/age verification services?
The alternative is to heavily censor à la tiktok or risk being banned.

Todays update let me generate the code shaping separately from the glyph atlas. I can draw tens of thousands of lines of unique strings in ms!
Next I want to support allographic languages and ligatures, like Arabic's غغغ
(google fonts for comparison)

This week I integrated kb_text_shape.h to my project and drew a complete string with proper text shaping using instancing. It was quite a bit trickier than I expected because WebGL doesn't support texture buffers, and I had to revert to using samplers.

This week I fixed the Windows build for my project gitlab.com/timpz/emscrap, added textures to the shaders, UVs to the vertexes, and started generating texture maps for any ttf at any size!
I also created a VODs channel here: www.youtube.com/@timpzvods

Last year had lots of challenges for me, the biggest one being losing my job due to restructuring. Until I find a good place to land I figured I'll try to make the best of the free time I have.
So this year I'll try to take personal projects more seriously and post about them more frequently!

My wife decided not to bring my laptop on our Christmas holiday to stop me from programming, but she underestimated me 😇. Here's my setup:
* Termux with git and emscripten on my android phone
* Acode connected to termux
* Compiling WASM and running a webserver to host it locally
* Run it in firefox

We're in Sweden for Christmas and while it's nice to visit family again after so many years, it's also jarring how much things have changed and how little is being done to do something about it. It's literally "Don't look up" in real life. I'm not even that old, 30s, but the differences are clear.

After 15 years I finally got my German driving license! I never had the opportunity as a teenager nor a need for it as an adult until now, so I'm pleased to say that I passed with almost no issues or mistakes. Let me tell you about the process! 🧵

Two years ago I created a new losslessly compressed image format in C++ but never released it. Now it's finally public, with an article written about it and an application to use it.
Please, take a look if you're interested 😄!

If there's 1 tip I would give for cooking, it's to buy your spices in bulk. You'll be shocked when you find that 500g in a bag costs the same as 75g (or 5 of these store bottles) from the store. Here is 43€ worth of 12 different spices for the next couple years.

It's pretty crazy to see so many script kiddies cash in with videos getting 100k+ views criticising piratesoftware for the most trivial things like if(integer==1) instead of if(integer) or a switch with 1 case when they literally don't even know how many values that int can be or is planned to have.

Really happy about winning amateur bracket at Himmel und Ääd 2! I feel really close to a breakout tournament, everyone should have the pleasure of having a crowd cheering for you while you're playing at your best! 😄
