How do you cope with shader processing? (sh.itjust.works)

It feels like I mine bitcoins for our Great Daddy Gaben every other update, setting my CPU at 100% for a long time.

I know it makes difference (to skipping it and eating lags), it works, but how it doesn't use previous literal gigabytes of generated shaders, starting from 0% every time? Why it takes so much time?

I feel like I'm a dumbass and I miss something obvious. Or I just feel like I'm alone with it? Do you guys all deal with it?

Am sitting at 66% percents, my PC heats like it renders video in Premiere, just to let me play the game I've played yesterday again. Guess all my recycling and replanting routine can fuck right off with that power consumption. Sorry, nature, I tried.

But anyway if you are tired of it or knows some tricks, write what's on your mind.

Your comment was out of place and didn't make sense. That's why I brought it up. Couldn't tell if you thought your local machine was actually coin mining or whatever. Just an out of place comment where you should have asked the straightforward question of "What are shaders and why...?".

You are a real person AND you felt like my starting little half-joke about bitcoin (ignoring everything else in my post) is worth you writing half of your previous answer, a whole paragraph about it? Like what? Seriously?

I'm still not convinced if you aren't a robot. You do behave as such. Just like ones on stackoverflow I've seen today.

Yeah, cause those GPT bots are out there monitoring your very special comments on Lemmy specifically. Y'know because they matter...

If you thought that was a joke, I have some material you should watch.

Bots on there or reddit answer anything with a YT link, or just anything. There were subs where bots were talking to each other in circles, a lot of them were noticed carmafarming. I doubt no one of techie locals tried to build a good person-like bot there. This project is too obvious of an idea.

I don't feel special. I feel screwed that some human-adjacent bot answers me bs and makes no sense. I feel like I'm trapped in a void, and I can't reach other people.

I don't know what invited that suggestion. But drop them. I have time.

I'd take my words back, if they would be related to what I've said.
