Yeah, the original Doom engine has a lot of quirks (some unintentional, others necessary to be usable on PCs at the time) inherited by most source ports for compatibility reasons. Doom WADs are usually designed for a specific compatibility level and may rely on some of these quirks to be present. ZDoom and its derivatives often ignore them and are far more advanced than most other source ports, at the expense of severe performance issues on certain maps

oh no, I can no longer play Thatcher's Techbase using the Official™ Bethesda™ Doom port, I guess I'll have to settle for dsda-doom or prboom+ or Woof or GZDoom or Eternity or
according to this, which is cited in the article, it's 159 foreign participants from 20 countries, not 159 countries
Ukraine wouldn't have been capable of doing it on their own, this is just US deflection
afaik Gaddafi was never a puppet
keeping secrets smh
I am using a 4k monitor that I found for free in a Walmart
please elaborate
There's no danger in using RISC-V -- if the official standard is compromised somehow, China can just make their own "fork". I think it's more likely just a business decision by Loongson. Unless it's replaced, it'll likely become an open standard eventually
there's some good information here but it also recommends proprietary operating systems and firmware updates with no disclaimers
What is Matrix?
Matrix ≈ Discord - tracking + end-to-end encryption (by default)
Matrix is a protocol for real-time communication (text, audio, and video) implemented by various applications ("clients") -- the official one is Element for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS), but there are many others, e.g. those listed here. It's also federated, like Lemmy. To use a Matrix client, you need to make a Matrix account at one of the Matrix homeservers (similar to how you can make an account on lemmygrad.ml or lemmy.ml but still access both of them). We have our own Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz, and you don't need an email address to register an account there.
How do I join the space?
(If you already have a Matrix account, skip to step 3)
- Download a Matrix client (e.g. Element) on your device.
- Create an account in the client. You can select
genzedong.xyzas your homeserver here; if you choose the defaultmatrix.org, you'll need to enter an email address. If it doesn't work on your client, try using Element Web for registration. - Log in.
- Read the rules in
#rules:genzedong.xyzand the vetting questions in#vetting-questions:genzedong.xyz, and then answer the questions in#vetting-answers:genzedong.xyz(don't worry, it shouldn't take long).
What is the space?
A collection of rooms (equivalent to Discord channels) focused on various topics. The space is intended for Marxists-Leninists, although baby leftists may also be accepted depending on their vetting answers.
Primarily for those who don't already have a discussion group, but anyone interested in Marxist-Leninist theory is welcome 👍
It won't require intensive reading/listening; it should be doable for anyone who works or studies full time, and we usually have discussions at the end of every other week. We're currently following a study plan from China, but we can add recommended texts (decided by vote). At the time of writing we're reading "Wage Labour and Capital" but I'm not going to remember to update this post
You can join the group at #reading-group:genzedong.xyz (an encrypted room) through the GenZedong Matrix space (see this post). On /c/[email protected] there'll also be a pinned post for the current text, for those who don't want to join the Matrix space.

LibreWolf is good, just enable
privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxinginabout:config(they have binary repositories for Debian and some derivatives). There's also Arkenfox if you just want reasonable settings in Firefox
