• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨- Buy Once Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use almost exclusively FOSS and I have monthly/annual contributions set up for various projects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenWrt Two will be a higher-performance router with 10 Gigabit LAN and WiFi 7 support - Liliputing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This takes me back to my childhood… My dad would take me to the fair and get me a deep fried router on a stick and a roll of cat5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be careful what you name your kids⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say this is fake and low quality, but the picture does say the Daily Sun so I can only be sure that it’s low quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascinating and efficient new lamp design⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The design is very human

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocky rock rocking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocky rock rocking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks more like a stone to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really the same thing though, since Trump’s thingy wasn’t one of the things that popularised that type of site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be hilarious to see Digg restart as a Lemmy instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar noon is the only real noon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except that in practice you’re still adding people’s personal schedules on top of the time zones, so just accounting for their personal schedules in UTC makes things easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe bets on RISC-V for homegrown supercomputing platform⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It helps significantly that the EU already has a lot of the necessary expertise at every level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar noon is the only real noon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My company is fully remote. We use the working hours that people set on their calendar, because even people in the same time zone may not have the same working hours. My working hours start 30 minutes later than someone one timezone to my west.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar noon is the only real noon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You and I are in full agreement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC chair says we’re too dependent on GPS and wants to explore ‘alternatives’.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no reason why some sort of augmentation system couldn’t improve the navigation situation with the big dig. Stick some low power beacons that provide GPS-like signal in the tunnel based on their predetermined location and we’ll have GPS accounting for special relativity, general relativity and continental drift.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you live in Michigan or is there somewhere else that was this idiotic too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple reveals M3 Ultra, taking Apple silicon to a new extreme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. But that means 512 GB is not half a tebibyte.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple reveals M3 Ultra, taking Apple silicon to a new extreme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  512 GiB is half a tebibyte. 512 GB is just under 477 GiB.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this green or blue?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Notepad has long been a testbed for new technology in Windows. This isn’t just a sign of enshittification, it’s a warning that they want to do more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get ya every time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, they hadn’t managed to get past bananas in their self defense classes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You sound surprised…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning I choose creativity and recycling.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that this is changing the product itself, it’s more repurposing than reusing, which I’d say fits between reuse and recycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework ships RISC-V board for its 13" laptops along with "boardless" laptop chassis.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone who makes ARM hardware wants to make a mainboard, I’d imagine Framework will work with them under the same conditions they’re working with DeepComputing on the RISC-V one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is America⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL Senegal is in America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the life I dream of from my cubicle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a left arm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨goldcrests⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OP is named Penny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gen z gorillas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they’re 4 years old, that makes them generation alpha.

  That’s some weak coffee…
