The other repos from this person are also worth checking: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish E.g.: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/Anarch

Also worth nothing that this person is an open pedophilia advocate and "race realist" as can be seen on their homepage https://www.tastyfish.cz/ Can't speak for the quality of the software but important to note.

So disgusting that you should probably drop `https://` to make it not directly linked. I'm not only talking about "usual" stuffs, but he also overlaps with Terry A. Davis to me in the way that they are technically proficient and have potential to make a great thing but still remain very terrible as a person...

They are correct. Note that pedophiles, on average, discover their orientation at 14 years old. They first experienced it when they were just 12, on average.

42% of MAPs (minor attracted persons) had suicidal thoughts at 16 years old. 32% had concrete plans for ending their life, and 13% actually attempted to end their life.

The most common age of first suicide attempt for MAPs is 14 years old. Of those who attempted suicide, 36% were minors.

This is very cool and a very impressive effort. I want to discuss though if "real" 3D is the right solution for such constrained platforms. The aliasing is quite extreme due to large pixels and lack of filtering. A more constrained 3D renderer or faking 3D with billboards may be better suited for these platforms. Then the aliasing can make it look more like pixel art than the unstructured noise a real render gives.

“ The aliasing is quite extreme ” One interesting thing in becoming a graphics expert and discussing graphics with non-graphicsprogrammers, is that many don’t care about aliasing. Aliasing in sound is usually painfully untolerable. It does not seem to be like that in graphics. Based on this, I dont’t think aliasing is a technical critical fault - it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO. As long as people ca…

> it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO

Case in point, in a 3D platform/adventure game i made back in 2020 for an MSDOS game jam[0], the rasterizer has intentional "flaws" - like lack of subpixel and subtexel accuracy, no zbuffering and no perspective correction (and perhaps unintuitively, the last two actually made the whole renderer more complex) because i had in my mind a specific "glitchy" look. Adding those would be trivial (and probably speed up the rendering a bit on 90s hardware), but things like the wavy lines (as seen in the first shot) and "trembling" vertices are intentional.

Similarly when i ported the game to use 3D hardware APIs, i went for full bilinear filtering because i wanted that 90s "just ported our SW 3D game to use 3dfx" style that a lot of 90s 3D games had (and FWIW the game also runs on an actual Voodoo 1 too[1] :-P). Though i do know some people dislike it so i added an option to disable it.

While I see what you tried to mean, that doesn't justify what was quoted above. At the very least, it alone can't determine whether it's a disorder and/or sexual orientation or not.

Terry A. Davis had a mental illness, so it is a bit unfair to claim that he was very terrible as a person.

If someone breaks a leg, they may be unable to walk, but may walk again when they are cured. It does not make them a non-walker as a person.

I think the distinction between illness and identity is important.

Fair enough, I agree that the word disorder or orientation is not supported by my evidence*. But it does support that, for non-contact minor attraction at least, it should be morally and legally accepted (this was what I was trying to reply to). It is actually a marginalised group. The MAPs (minor attracted people) most vulnerable and prone to suicide are actually children themselves, as supported by the evidence.

*For non-contact minor attraction, I believe it is not a disorder because it does not affect functioning in society (it doesn't harm others), nor does it impact functioning in occupational contexts. But you're correct that this was a separate point and shouldn't have been conflated.

I mean, not exactly his fault but most people would still find it difficult to deal with him anyway.

On the other hand, I'm actually less concerned about the identity stuff. I'm much more concerned about how he represents himself and makes multiple conflicting statements without any context in public. I don't want to judge how minor-attracted people should be considered in the society because I honestly have no idea, but the modern society at least in principle requires some tolerance in the value system and I can see absolutely no such evidence from the website. Never good for his identity even if we can accept that.

He is also the maintainer of a web browser whose specification seems to be ‘to leave as little trace as possible in the event of a police raid’, which is pretty suspicious.
