  • Top 200 Defederated instances from the Fediverse (May 2024)

    Jump

  • Really basic summary

    Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.

    Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

  • Some "Law"

  • Yes

    And yes

  • Daily marijuana use outpaces daily drinking in the US, a new study says

    Jump

  • So statistically speaking, at least some of the cool kids are doing it?

  • ATARI acquires INTELLIVISION brand

    Jump

  • So does that mean they're gonna be selling the Amico without the intellivision branding?

    Their mothers must be very proud.

  • Microsoft starts bundling Windows 11 with its 'PC optimizer' app in some regions

    Jump

  • Oh so they're just straight up including malware with windows now. Cool.

  • 2024: The Year Linux Dethrones Windows on the Desktop – Are You Ready?

    Jump

  • Linux is about on-par with windows xp/7 as it stands, and it has been for a while. The reason people haven't switched is OEM and software support.

  • Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025

  • Same honestly. Like it was a hunk of junk that didn't work half the time, but I think people kinda forget that the scope was pretty ambitious. Being able to scan people's bodies and get each limb's position in 3D, and to do so in many different lighting conditions and room setups, is stuff we still barely have working today even with AI.

    Like don't get me wrong, the tech was jank as fuck, but as a kid it was genuinely really cool.

  • Not really sure whether S-expressions or Python indentation-based scoping get more hate...

    Jump

  • I don't get why people hate semantic whitespace. The whitespace would be there anyway, and if anything it's easier to read as long as you avoid 15 nested if statements, and you're not using a dynamically typed abomination like python.

    S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn't know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).

    In all honesty, I can understand the reason people love s-expressions, but to me they're just unreadable at a glance.

  • And please write your apology as detailed as possible at the prompt.

  • Thank you, our future 🌐

  • It kinda sucks that cryptobros have ruined the term decentralized for most people, because decentralization is exactly what we need right now. Not the fake single-server multi-app decentralization of the blockchain, but the real multi-server multi-app decentralization of the fediverse.

  • Flat Earth is so yesterday

    Jump

  • So sick of the ignorance in this community. That is NOT an accurate velociraptor! The earth has FEATHERS.

  • Love me some arbitrary executed code /s (Plasmoids are not themes)

  • Technically linux users need third party tools to even boot into a usable OS.

  • Abe Lincoln or Shinzo Abe?

  • Focus

  • I'm talking more about a language that's just everywhere it doesn't need to be. But I guess that's also my hatred for JS speaking.

  • 50 million rendered polygons vs one spicy 4.2MB boi

    Jump

  • I'm a computer engineering major (still a student tbf), I'm well aware of the difference between CISC and RISC, I was making a joke.

    Also, I understand your point, but you should know though that a load-store architecture and a RISC instruction set are not the same thing. The vast majority of RISC ISAs are load-store, but not all load-store architectures are RISC.

  • At this point ARM is a CISC architecture

  • Focus

    Jump

  • Replace C with javascript and it'd be more accurate imo.

  • I think it's AI unfortunately.

    Either that or just regular photoshop.
