Oh yeah that’s true as well. Like it’s more accepted when a 60 year old dates a 50 year old than when a 30 year old dates a 20 year old. It’s the same gap, but more frequently seen. That’s the thing with cumulative numbers!! The more they go up the smaller the ll% difference in

Now that I think of it yeah, my work mac simply shows a popup telling me to kill an app. It just doesn’t deal with high mem pressure lol
- Comment on Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era 2 weeks ago:
The chip and OS won’t do shit when your ram is saturated by electron apps taking 800MB each. Maybe MacOS behaves better under very high memory pressure than windows does, but it doesn’t mean it’s okay to rip off consumers

- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 2 weeks ago:
XMPP Works fine when it’s setup or when you don’t manage the hosting, but God is it painful to self host an xmpp server. Then you have the clients that are all basically 10 years old at this point, except maybe Dino for linux. It even needs a special setup to work on restricted networks via port 80/443 because it wants port 5222 and 5223, and let me tell you, I’ve spent over a week trying to setup that reverse proxy, it was hell. I’ve never Hosted matrix so maybe it’s worse, but this isn’t the end of my gripes with xmpp. Most basic communication features in 2024 such as replies reactions quoting threads etc.etc. are unsupported ootb, and you need both a client that supports the extensions (often very slow to adapt “new” standards AND a server that has enabled the plugin for that feature.
Xmpp is plain old, and like many like to think, no xmpp was not “triple-E’d”, people simply stopped using it because it’s really inconvenient and the UX is horrible.

The entire point of AI as it stands right now is to allow more of those layoffs. Anyone telling otherwise is a liar.

- Comment on TSMC's 2nm process will reportedly get another price hike — $30,000 per wafer for latest cutting-edge tech 1 month ago:
Dangerous game considering Intel should be coming up with their 18A node pretty soon now, and it will supposedly be competitive with TSMC’s 3nm or 2nm according to rumors. They will only need to compete in price, and if they are competitive in performance, and TSCM is increasing their prices so much, it would be a good way for Intel to take some of that market share.

Not to forget than when using bing, if you look for words like Firefox or Chrome, you get a large banner saying to use Edge instead. Super shady stuff
- Comment on At what point when learning a new language do someone become bilingual? 1 month ago:
I think I am basically 95% bilingual, my native language is not English, but it was thought in school from first grade (age 5 or 6) all the way to high school (17 years old), and then in post-highschool education, I also had 2 mandatory English courses. The thing is having learned so early is I was too young to realize when I could start entertaining a conversation in English without thinking because it was almost always like that for me.
I do think though that when you can think in your 2nd language without having to mentally translate in your head to your native language is when you’ve reached a level of fluency that is good enough to be called bilingual

Resolve is basically the only “professional-grade” software for creative work on Linux, and even there depending on hardware like video card the experience will be vastly different
- Comment on Which do you like better: Windows or Ubuntu? 1 month ago:
I really dislike windows (and the likelihood of people on Lemmy having the same preference as me is very high), but if you need to do game development or most creative work, I would say to not bother with Linux, it’s not there yet to be fully honest. Maybe in 5 years Photoshop and the music creation software will support Linux, but for now there’s a few lesser known softwares that don’t have as many features. For the other kinds of work though, Linux I think is better than windows

- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 month ago:
The pixels from 6 to 8 use an optical fingerprint scanner, and optical scanners almost universally suck, because they use a tiny camera to see your finger through the display on your phone. Most phones including the pixel 9’s include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is more reliable, faster, doesn’t flashbang you in the dark, and has the potential to be much bigger (think lower half of the phone is the fingerprint scanner).
I haven’t had trouble with under display fingerprint scanners since I had my S23 (ultrasonjc), but my previous has an optical one and it was the worst thing I’d used.

- Comment on Qualcomm Reportedly Taps Intel With An Acquisition Offer 1 month ago:
There are so many reasons why this won’t happen lmao
Qualcomm has about 70% of Intel’s revenue, and their valuation is only twice as much as Intels. There is no way they could get a loan equivalent to half of their net worth to acquire intel, a company that is having some financial difficulties. Then there are regulators that will very likely block this acquisition. But this rumor made the Intel stock price go up and I made money, so keep the rumors coming!
