  • Microsoft's O365 stack and Teams aren't great, my friend, but they're light years ahead of anything Google and Slack offer. Especially when any sort of collaboration is involved.

  • Is Fallout serie on Prime Video good or bad ?

  • If it's done by the Westworld peeps, i wouldn't be surprised if there aren't 2 years between seasons.

  • 2 decaf and 1 caf Lipton bag in a pot of boiling water, let it steep for 10 minutes or so, then pour the lot over ice into a gallon pitcher and fill it up the rest of the way with cold water. I then pour it into a glass of ice and drink about half a gallon a day.

  • How do we make search results show lemmy pages?

    Jump

  • Infiltrate a search engine and develop fediverse-aware indexing that boost fedi pages in search results based on engagement and reach.

  • Linux continues to be above 4% on the desktop

    Jump

  • That is irrelevant. We are more concerned with relative market share than raw numbers. For example, many devs will not develop towards a browser or OS that has less than 5% market share. If/when Linux market share hits 5% and even 10%, we expect marked increases in developer interest to support our OS of choice. As far as I'm aware, nobody really sets such metrics based on raw user counts, so that is a less important number for us. Your Statistics 101 course should have taught you to make sure the statistics you are measuring are relevant.

  • Where is data recovery $100? In my country, data recovery is like $1000 USD to look at your drive, and then they tell you how much they can recover and a full quote.

  • Mozilla released a Firefox Nightly test build with vertical tabs - gHacks Tech News

    Jump

  • Ooh, that's a fair claim! I don't use Sidebery like that, so I have never run into that issue!

    I've never trusted browsers to reliably remember history and restart where I left off, so I make heavy use of Sidebery's snapshot feature.

  • If we're talking about a great implementation of the feature, it would be 'Sidebery'.

  • In my country, we can buy pre-paid credit cards in the supermarket using cash. I guess that is still traceable using supermarket security cameras and facial recognition, but if you're attempting this, I'd make it as difficult as possible.

  • [Sway] Lisp is taking over

    Jump

  • God's, that's beautiful!

  • is there any way to losslessly convert a whole recursive file directory of .m4a files to .opus

    Jump

  • Disregard. The answer is 'no'. Opus is a lossy format, so there is no way to losslessly convert to it, regardless of the tools available to you.

  • What platform do you have to work with?

  • Web browser have extended way passed what was necessary

    Jump

  • We have always tried to make the web do more. Whatever problems you have with today's web are nothing compared to the horror that was Macromedia Shockwave, Adobe Flash, and Java plugins.

  • Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.

  • You detest Rowling's attitudes towards transwomen, but your only other suggested author is a huge anti-gay advocate? Riiiiight ...

  • You trade a little system stability for bleeding-edge package access.

  • KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

    Jump

  • Computers have ruled the planet for longer than the Greeks ever did. The history lesson is appreciated, but we're living in the future, now, and the future is digital.

  • KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

    Jump

  • K/M/G/T/P = decimal prefixes. K is 1000. M is 1,000,000. etc.

    Ki/Mi/Gi/Ti/Pi = binary prefixes. Ki is 2¹⁰ (1024), Mi is 2²⁰ (1,048,576), etc.

    It's a disambiguation of the previous system where we would use KB to interchangeably mean 1000 or 1024 depending on context.

  • KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

    Jump

  • The American way would probably be still using the units you listed but still meaning 1024, just to be confusing.

    American here. This is actually the proper way. KB is 1024 bytes. MB is 1024 KB. The terms were invented and used like that for decades.

    Moving to 'proper metric' where KB is 1000 bytes was a scam invented by storage manufacturers to pretend to have bigger hard drives.

    And then inventing the KiB prefixes was a soft-bellied capitulation by Europeans to those storage manufacturers.

    Real hackers still use Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera prefixes while still thinking in powers of 2. If we accept XiB, we admit that the scummy storage vendors have won.

    Note: I'll also accept that I'm an idiot American and therefore my opinion is stupid and invalid, but I stand by it.
