  Pixel density is what makes content appear sharp rather than raw resolution. 800p on a 7" screen is plenty, if you think about it a 50" 1080p TV is almost 10x the size with a 25% increase in resolution

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secondsies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To target some random dude that received a silly prescription? Why go through all the effort when you could just pick a random residential address?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From the outside looking in⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Accurate on many levels

  Ah yeah I am sure he cares a lot about whales

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much more progressive are European views as compared to progressives in America?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Europe is neither a country nor a single culture. The political spectrum isn’t the same between Portugal, Sweden, and Poland. Different histories lead to different culture and politics

  If you see someone sharing this as surprising news, please let them know they should not be using technology.

  Fungi are older than literal roots. The first land plants relied on them for nutrient exchange before evolving a radical system. My mind was blown away during a presentation by Dr. Toby Kiers about the latest research on mycorrhizal networks. They directly imaged nutrients moving both ways through those narrow filaments, through unknown mechanisms. www.spun.earth/networks/mycorrhizal-fungi

  I think they’re the only ones doing multi-cloud. If us-east-1 shits the bed, it’s a bad day for AWS in general.

  New captcha just dropped

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two New Windows Zero-Days Exploited in the Wild — One Affects Every Version Ever Shipped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, until something like this happens again a year or two down the line. Not to mention all unpatched or lagging systems

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two New Windows Zero-Days Exploited in the Wild — One Affects Every Version Ever Shipped⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any figures for how widespread that Agere chip is? I wonder if any German companies are going to be bit in the aas by this lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DirecTV screensavers will show AI-generated ads with your face in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who in their right mind would think this is a good idea? Are managers so caught up in the “just add AI bro it will make us cool” that no one stops to think “yeah I would never want this in my living room”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-Piracy Firm Threatens ICANN with Lawsuit Over .to Domain Piracy * TorrentFreak⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lawsuit for “unfair competition”? How do they figure that? .to is a ccTLD. The Kingdom of Tonga will manage it however it sees fit. Not every country in the world is obligated to subscribe to the same ideas on copyright and digital piracy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often should moderators post to grow a community?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever you have a relevant post to make. There’s no algorithm to game, just make it a nice place and people will come :)

  Is the original still online after all these years? Not going to check on the train lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TRUMP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, this should’ve been the end of it. No sane country would elect someone that said this as their president

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always trust the Science⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know who downvoted you, I came to say the same. Why post an AI video of a made-up product when asbestos filter cigarettes were a real thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fog lights and high beams were independent on all cars I’ve driven, is that not the case in the US?

  Are there any bird species that have co-op mating displays?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surveillance capitalism⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is indeed possible. But it’s also possible to use this power to induce resignation and apathy so you won’t oppose resistance when they become even more intrusive and pervasive.

  As you said, it’s not even strictly about the politics. It’s just whatever’s most profitable, without any consideration for the human lives on the other side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What even is money at this point⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. Every time someone says “The Economy™” as something that should drive policy instead of being an effect of it, I get a little twitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨advertisement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always wondered what’s the point of these ads. Is it to segment gullible people?
