Owned by a very right wing billionaire that uses his money directly for supporting a right-wing populist party.

Also originally named after a right-wing militia, but that’s neither here nor there.

I’m not sure the electricity I’d use for that would be cheaper than the money I might save on food.

Lol, nah. I always felt act 2 was weakest. 3 might not be perfect, but I love walking through the city, and exploring all the side stories and quests.

Probably applies to most used Laptops right now. Also, I have some thinkpad nostalgia, but the similar skus from other manufacturers will also do, though they put course have the same problem.

Generally, you of course always need to research the specific hardware. Also, my current one is on 8th gen, still does the job for now.

I’d buy a macbook, but it’s a lot more expensive than my “throw Linux on a used corporate thinkpad” approach, and I can tolerate macOS, but don’t love it. If you’re in the market for a new premium laptop, I think they’re pretty established, and I do think people are buying them.

Ampere workstations are cool, but in a price range where most customers are probably corporate, and they’ll mostly buy what they know works. I think their offerings are mostly niche for engineers who do dev work with stuff that will run on arm servers.

I’d say non-corporate arm adoption will grow when there’s more affordable new and used options from mainstream manufacturers. Most people won’t go for an expensive niche option, and probably don’t care about architecture. Most Apple machines probably sell because they’re Apple machines, not because of the chip inside.

I don’t know exact numbers, but I do feel that arm server adoption isn’t going to badly, especially with new web servers.

They also own Politico and Insider/Business Insider. Feel like too few people are aware of that.

Slight garbage man vibes, but in a good way.

There’s the Eternaut, an Argentinian production that used AI for one effects shot. That’s the only big one I’ve heard about, and I feel like there would have been some stirr if any larger production had used it.

Sorry to tell you, but you do appear to be rather obnoxious right now, though whether there is any intent behind it, I am unable to tell.

Using a Pixel 8a with a Tensor G3, a chip that’s regularly called a bit underpowered.

My phone before that had a Snapdragon 765G, another pretty midrange SoC. I couldn’t name a single app that isn’t running perfectly fluently.

I dunno what apps you are using, but as far as I can see, there just isn’t any relevant difference in daily usage between current mid-range and flagship SoCs.

Software is what matters to me, and you couldn’t pay me to use a phone to use a phone on OneUI, with, if the current news are accurate, no more path to running anything other than the Stock Rom.

Why though? Unless you’re really into mobile gaming, I don’t see any difference in day to day usage compared to more mid-range SoCs.

Graphene (based on Android 16, pretty close to AOSP) has it under accessibility settings.

It’s not just convenience - depending on how you use it, Cloudflare is also pretty good at giving an additional layer of anonymity. They assign any user of your site to the closest CDN Server geographically, so it’s is pretty hard to determine how and where your site is actually hosted. They also used to be pretty good about resisting takedown requests.

Oh well. I’d say time for a federated CDN, but the legal costs would probably be rather annoying for most volunteers.

I see your point, but still think that an onboarding site that assigns you an instance from a pool that’s seen as reliable might be sensible. After all, we don’t want “one big instance”, that kinda defeats the point of the fediverse.

Also, I feel the network effect is even worse for Twitter-likes. You’re on Facebook for your friends/family, and you might convince some of them to move. You’re on a Twitter-like to follow certain people, and whether or not they’re on a different service is a crapshoot. And if they are, chances are it’s Bluesky.

Doesn’t seem to be a DNS block. I just set Mullvad to the UK and visited one of the pages. Mullvad does run their own dns. Still got cloudflare 451.

The error message reads like the website is using Cloudflare CDN, so Cloudflare’d be able to block any requests originating from the UK.

Cloudflare’s CDN is definitely used by a lot of torrent/piracy sites (e.g. 1337x, thepiratebay, Anna’s archive), so we’ll see what’ll come off this.

The problem is, it’s the other way around. Facebook is the option that feels easy/safe/convenient. The fediverse has a long way to go for it to be something the average Internet user would use, both in publicity and in ease of use.

Yes. Which is honestly a bit silly. It is (or was) kinda presented as the flagship Lemmy instance.

Giving themselves and deepseek a tick for “opens source code to the public” seems rather disingenuous. Think what you want about Deepseek, you can download their models and run them fully locally. Doesn’t seem to be possible with whatever model Proton is using here.

If that tick is there because other Proton projects publish source code, that’s a bit silly.

I don’t like the trend of stereotyping whole instances. Even if there is a trend to certain opinions, dismissing people based on the server they signed up on seems a bit presumptive.
