$1000 for a device with an N5100 CPU seems... mispriced.

This post really shows how old I am, because I immediately thought "does anyone actually compose on a mobile device?" The experience is so bad I limit my own mobile compositions to message responses like "k" and "lol".

I wrote this comment on my phone and it was an awful experience 🙃. But hey, at least my keyboard app suggested a silly emoji...

I'll continue to do my "real" writing on my desktop for now. Integration apps like KDEConnect have been enough for me to get by, but they aren't perfect either.

Wendy's arbitrage was not on my Bingo card.

Everyone keeps repeating that defederation should be a last resort. Fine, but we should also acknowledge that the list of resorts is very short:

1. Server admins talk to the admins of the server hosting the offending community, in an attempt to get them to clean their house. If they don't;

2. Defederate.

There really isn't anything else for server operators to do that isn't just letting the offending community continue unabated.

Offloading the responsibility to individual users to block users / communities is lazy. Most of us don't want to spend our limited time playing whack-a-mole.

I suspect we'll see user accounts shuffling around so that they land on a home server whose defederation policy matches their preferences.

I'm not such a monkey, and I could probably contribute if I put my mind to it, but I just don't have the time.... Instead I try to contribute documentation and money when I can. Everything helps!

Apple is still tracking you, they just aren't as donkey-brained as Microsoft.

Damn, hitting them hard with reality at the end there lol

I've been using Quarto a lot for Data Science work and it uses Pandoc under the hood I recall.

Not sure what you're envisioning by Pandoc + git, but the RStudio IDE has a git integration and a WYSIWYM Quarto editor.

I put a quarter in the siren.

KeePassXC (there's a Firefox extension too) and Syncthing are the first things I add to a new install.

Who needs frames per second when we can have seconds per frame?

Yeehaws per McNugget

I find her continued existence to be bullshit.

This is what I used as well (KeePassXC specifically), with Syncthing sharing the .kdbx file across devices.

What sort of Linux compatibility can we expect with this generation?

One good latex pillow for me.

I wonder why this person has an issue with... too much choice? I find it hard to relate to that mentality, despite being very busy with work and family myself.

The Matrix

The free software movement is actually inherently political. Much of modern digital infrastructure is built using tools / software that embodies collectivist ideologies. I would be very surprised if the Lemmy developers even claimed that they created Lemmy in some sort of apolitical clean room (not that it is even possible).

I love Syncthing but that initial setup can be a pain. Sometimes you need something quick for a one-off transfer.

I was hoping this would fill that hole, but this still requires a decent amount of setup. Warpinator is still king in this case imo.

Network (1976).

A prescient film that is just as relevant today as it was almost 50 years ago. A little monologue-y at times, but that's just the style.

Amazing, was able to play over ssh on Android using termux!

Maybe the lemmy.world mods are just following The Golden Path, making the Fediverse more resilient through their tyranny!

There's also the cost to transcode the video and audio streams into different formats so they don't have to do it on demand whenever someone watches a video. That's a lot of compute cost plus they have to store all of those additional transcodes which is more storage cost.

I do too, which is why I was on the table getting a vasectomy before the vernix was dry on our one and only kid lol

Their PowerPanel Personal and Business editions both seem to work with all of their UPS models. I used to run PowerPanel Business on a basic tower-style model.

Mostly just different algorithms that can achieve greater compaction under different data circumstances.

There are an infinite number of compression algorithms. The trick is to find ones that result in a smaller file for the data you have, which will have some non-random pattern to it.

The choices we think of today (gz, bz2, zstd, etc.) are fairly general purpose, but sometimes you find a data file that compresses significantly more with a particular algorithm.

I have a Ryzen 3700x that had similar problems. In my case disabling Precision Boost Overdrive and regular Precision Boost eliminated the crashes. PB being just the regular boosting behavior of the CPU. With it turned off the CPU basically only adjusts its frequency between the idle frequency of like 800 MHz to the base clock (3.6 GHz or whatever).

I think basically what happened was the BIOS was running the CPU too hot and eventually it just couldn't stably boost to the higher frequencies which would cause problems. It's an easy thing to try and see if it works for you. In my case I was able to salvage the CPU by putting it into a server whose workload doesn't benefit from moment to moment super high CPU clock speeds.

Looks like Framework has a Linux compatibility guide and the fingerprint reader is probably the thing that won't work out of the box for most distros.

I think it's usually things like trackpads and WiFi modules that typically have compatibility issues with Linux.

Any suggestions for where I can read up on the licensing troubles?

Never knew I wanted something like this so bad. Unfortunately, the git integration in my preferred IDE shows a blank diff when configuring git to use difft as the external diff tool.

Are there any IDEs known to work well with external diff tools?

You know, like the Gavin Belson Signature Box III.

Reddit executives know this, and they will continue the enshittification so long as it benefits them financially.

The API change is just the most recent step in this process. Making more money with fewer users is a good thing from their perspective.

This is how I imagine Jorg Ancrath

::: spoiler Spoiler in his showdown with Egan. :::

The "nearly half" remark is referring to the previous sentence regarding 42% attrition. The paragraph could have been structured better, and I wouldn't say "nearly half" until the 46% mark or so, but it isn't as bad as "29% == half".

My Lemmy life flashing before my eyes...

I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!
