I would keep it up for ONE HOUR! :O

I search with duckduckgo and the first results seem reasonable

Here’s a signature and description https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Creating_an_OpenGL_Context_(WGL)#Create_Context_with_Attributes - khronos is publisher of OpenGL

here’s the function I presume without attributes, so should be helpful to relate and compare https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wingdi/nf-wingdi-wglcreatecontext

Feature World Lighting: not implemented

Lighting is server side? o.O

I guess because it influences creep spawn or sth?

I hate when apps use my number formatting setting to determine display language - despite Windows having a display language as well. Even Qt does (did?) that.

I think it’s an interesting idea, and I’d see it as fine for simple host + fetch. But as soon as you start interacting, I see it as far worse.

A personal support email may work, but as they write by the end, ticket tracking and collaborating on a platform with a shared web interface is much superior for information sharing and but also iteration (they talk about back and forth emailing earlier).

Self-hosting yet another platform/forge with its own account system is not viable to me either. (I’m still hoping for forgejo federation for a centralized account. Until then, GitHub seems like the best choice purely because it’s the biggest and everyone has an account and can contribute and post without account barriers.)

The idea that it could be a hosted repo with an integrated mailing list (and potentially bug tracker) is interesting, but ultimately, almost/actually a full forge then anyway.

and Sourceforge now has a pretty bad reputation

The bad reputation is largely obsolete. The owner had changed to a bad owner with bad practices, but that owner was eventually replaced by a better owner again.

I still hate the UI though. We have much better alternatives today, which is why I don’t see any reason for anyone to go back to (or start) using Sourceforge. It’s no longer an issue of owner and bad practices, but solely of the platform itself with its UI/UX.

You always forget regex syntax?

I’ve always found it simple to understand and remember. Even over many years and decades, I’ve never had issues reading or writing simple regex syntax (excluding the flags and shorthands) even after long regex breaks.

I consider python a scripting language too.
