Hey #OpenGL and #graphics people, are there any graphics profiling/instrumentation/frame debugger solutions which work with OpenGL on modern non-Windows systems? Something à la #RenderDoc but that works on #Wayland or Apple Silicon Macs. To do frame debugging right now I have to log out of my Wayland session on my #Linux desktop and log in to #X11, which is uber-broken on my mixed DPI fractional scaling multi monitor setup... #programming #graphicsprogramming #macdev

Spending some time with the development version of Scribus (version 1.7).

Scribus is a fully featured free and Open Source DTP software package for virtually *any* operating system out there. Despite the low version number, it's been around for decades! Wikipedia lists that it goes as far back as 2001.

Version 1.7 sports some very nice UI upgrades, like new panel docking modes and the new document dialog has even more templates for various kinds of stationary than previous versions.

Remember #libobscura ?

The project didn't attract a huge community, but it did teach me stuff so obscure that few people apart from the authors understand it.

So I started writing it down, for everyone's benefit.

If you had questions about #DMABUF, I try to explain it on my #blog :

Thanks to all the people who explained it to me. Some parts are really confusing.

Here is a preview design for a (business) card promoting the Fediverse (made in Inkscape).
I plagiarized the idea from
@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social who has created card templates people can print and give out at protests.
Instead, i'm doing fully designed cards for more generic use. Lending my graphic design skills to the community. I will put these out as print ready files under a (non-commercial) Creative Commons license - so anyone can get a stack cheaply printed themselves to give out places or leave in coffee shops etc.
If there is interest, I will do a bunch of different designs, different languages, and a US size (I'm designing to EU standards). Plus maybe some stickers and posters too?
This particular design is my trademark 'busy with movement' style. I've based the design on the colours and shapes from the official Fediverse logo.

Gotta love good ol' 1-bit pixel dithering (ordered, Floyd-Steinberg, etc.) 💚

NVIDIA is full of shit

Since the disastrous launch of the RTX 50 series, NVIDIA has been unable to escape negative headlines: scalper bots are snatching GPUs away from consumers before official sales even begin, power connectors continue to melt, with no fix in sight, marketing is becoming increasingly deceptive, GPUs are missing processing units when they leave the factory, and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has
