I started learning Houdini tonight. And by Houdini, I mean Blender Geometry Nodes :3
I'm hoping to construct an ad-hoc level editor for my driving game thing and export point sets for object placement, curves for the roads, and height maps for elevation. I'm not sure how to make blender shit out a sparse height map, but I'm sure I'll find some abominable way to do it with python.
I wonder if my old wacom tablet still works 
weird, pressure sensitivity doesn't seem to work anymore, but otherwise it seems fine???
ok the gnome wacom settings test panel thing shows the pressure sensitivity working just fine, so I guess it's just the gimp that's the problem hopefully
aaand it crashes blender :|
there's too much linux in here >:(
yup completely random which applications it works with. blender doesn't pick it up at all?
by any chance is this yet another thing wayland fucked up?
I'm gonna have to install Windows again to use this thing aren't I
Yup. It's wayland. again! it's always fucking wayland! I hate you so much wayland. The tablet works fine with Blender if I restart Gnome in Xorg mode. This operating system is such a fucking joke my hands are shaking with anger right now.
If you're going to wander into my mentions to tell me that it's good actually preferred even that the wayland team broke an entire ecosystem of applications that was working just fine for the last 20 years, do me a favor and just go block yourself instead? I'm not in the mood.
when linux gives you wayland you burn linux's house down
@aeva oh the blender python integration is actually very nice
@mcc I've done a bit with it here and there in the past :D big fan
@aeva these things tend to be sturdy. A while ago i dug out my wacom after it collected dust for ~15 years. Works fine and is still fun :)
arc) @aeva it acclimated 
@arichtman I think it might just be the gimp or something. it kinda worked in mypaint, at least for a few minutes before it stopped recognizing it after I clicked on something or tabbed away or something like that
@aeva @arichtman It’s been a decade since I used a pen with GIMP, but it had its own pen configuration menu that included like half of the Wacom Windows control panel.
@aeva i hope this isn't an annoying question, but did you set your phone down near the wacom tablet?
@cancel !
how close is too close?
@aeva like 10 inches iirc
@cancel good to know!
@aeva just switch back to X11, no need for such drastic measures as returning to Windows
@delegatevoid x doesn't support fractional display resolutions
@aeva maybe a driver thing? It seems to support them on my system... but I haven't really tested it, since I don't need it.
@delegatevoid that setting only exists on wayland for me
@aeva @delegatevoid it's a bit more complex than that. The X server does no client window scaling, so it's up to each client to decide how to adapt their window to the screen resolution (reported by the server). So GTK apps generally suck at this (the toolkit doesn't help). Qt (and KDE) apps generally do a decent job with it.
@aeva *tiny hug* <3
@aeva sorry for the phone misdirection. i should have gone with the ol' standby
@cancel it was a reasonable guess
@aeva It's amazing how whenever you go search anything display related online you'll come across these goobers. Somehow DPI scaling is worth breaking everything for.
@shinmera my computer is unusable without fractional DPI scaling. I'd just use xorg if it supported it properly.
@shinmera @aeva the “best” part is that there was really no need to break everything to improve DPI-aware scaling in X, even without client awareness (see e.g. <https://keithp.org/blogs/window-scaling/>).
I was *just* about to comment how the only thing I've ever seen pointed to that Wayland does better was DPI scaling. Is there literally nothing else?@wagesj45 Screen tearing can also be an issue due to how X handles DRI.
Therra 
@shinmera @wagesj45 my problem was that when my machine reaches 100% gpu utilization with my multimonitor setup then the monitor i have a game running on will start to look like it has really bad framerate even though the framerate counter of the game itself reports the framerate being just fine regardless of if i use just a window manager with no compositor; being on wayland somehow made this problem go away
@aeva nicholson_yes.gif
@aeva wayland is for smart tv's and car infotainment systems, not computers
@aeva wayLAND A METEOR ON YOUR ROOF
@efi no! they rebuilt my roof like just a year or two ago D:
@aeva stupid linux keeps breaking everything!
@efi I mean "linux" is literally finnish for "broken because some idiot tried to fix it"
@janvenetor @efi I imagine fucking up that bad and not being able to admit it for 15 years
@aeva I suppose you know the accessibility screen reader thing?
@elrohir not first hand, but I heard they basically said fuck blind people?
@aeva yup. Apparently everyone got the hots for sandboxing nowadays so in Wayland apps cannot read each other's raw screen buffers to prevent leaks. This fucks screen readers and I'll bet is what fucked Wacom too. But God forbid someone who installs Linux would be dumb enough to download a keylogger on accident.
@elrohir the paranoid will ruin computers for the rest of us :/
: i had success using screen reader with kde plasma and other qt apps, even on wayland. However i do not know how gnome apps would work with screen readers even on plasma side, something to test.
@aeva guaranteed way to not be allowed near my computer is to try to convince me it's "much better now"
