Yes, this is exactly what this website is for, and the interactive examples put you right in to programming in glsl and give such an awesome base to experiment.

There are plenty of resources out there as you get more advanced, but imo bookofshaders is a great starting resource.

I learned so much from this website many years ago when I was first discovering webgl programming. It is unfortunately unfinished, yes, but those unfinished chapters on advanced topics make for curiosity and the desire to learn more. There are plenty of other resources that fill in the details, but this is a great beginner guide.

You write this because you don’t understand what people in Iran have been dealing with for the past 45 years.

It is one thing to not like the political leadership, but another thing if the government oppresses the population.

Those of us in America are privileged that we can’t fathom what that means.

People living outside Iran participating in these protests have no idea what they are doing.

On the reddit NewIran sub, they were mocking a picture of somebody at one of those rally’s holding a giant IRGC flag… upside-down.

I wouldn’t use numbers of “useful idiots” showing up at rallies as a way of demonstrating internal support for the Iranian regime.

Surveys suggest around 70-80% are anti-regime, which makes sense considering the regime’s history of hangings and imprisonment for minor offenses. The people of Iran want the regime to end.

The moment is that the regime is severely weakened and is struggling to deal with an external war, with very few weapons left. Many heads of their military were eliminated and they are scrambling to put the pieces back together.

Couple that with a population of at least 80 million people who hate the regime and only didn’t fight back because the regime had physical power over them.

Not on their heads. On the weapons and heads of the regime. The regime is not the Iranian people.

Even if it is only set back by a few months, that is enough time to put pressure on Iran to abandon it altogether.

Keep in mind, Israel has full aerial control over Iran and has taken out hundreds of their missile launchers.

We can keep pounding the various nuclear facilities and hinder ant chances of rebuilding, making any effort futile.

You’d be surprised, but the people of Iran have been waiting for this moment for years. There are 80 million people who want the end of the regime.

Whether this fulfills that goal, we will see, but anything that weakens the regime is good for the Iranian people.

How well does it work with bank websites with non-conventional multi-click logins that sometimes include an "important message" that you have to click through just to get your balance?

Wow, thank you for posting this. I had no idea that the creator of Dry Bones also had worked on such creative and innovative software projects in his lifetime.

Case in point. Even the mainstream media does not tell what is actually happening in Gaza, despite the many journalists on the ground there, and you heard "genocide" and immediately think - or "know" - that is something that Israel is doing.
