I don’t think that’s possible to do and be healthy and happy, lol. I only get four to five hours of sleep on my work nights due to my long commute and I’m pretty tired and use both of my breaks to sleep in my car.

I’m glad Kirk got necked and it’s sad he supports him, but that doesn’t change the fact ladybird is an exciting open source project that I can’t wait to try out.

I use to when I was 14 - 19 but realized how shit they are in many ways as I grew and learned more about the world.

I agree fiber is better but starlink isn’t bad for the environment, it’s bad for astronomy though sadly.

Yea I just don’t get it for open source software, like you aren’t supporting their agenda by using the free fucking software
- Comment on Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting 6 days ago:
Good thing it’s an open source project so it doesn’t really matter at all what you think of someone working on it imo

Ladybird is gonna be awesome, you are overblowing things, it’s an open source project chill out. Also sevro is not currently really being designed as a desktop web browser. Its a web engine for light weight embedded applications. Ladybird is currently the only in development webbrowser that is primarily designed with desktop maim browser use.
- Comment on Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought. 2 weeks ago:
Yes, even persistent isn’t really an account. It’s just a encrypted portion of the drive to store files between boots.

- Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead 4 weeks ago:
Broadly speaking, yes, and it’ll keep going until they run out of money. However, I think there is a very small chance that one of the companies is able to make a breakthrough probably with a different kind of architecture than our current LLMs that does get us to models that make genuine discoveries and breakthroughs.
Very unlikely though.
- Comment on Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead 4 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure the massive buildout is for training new models. Their justification is they need more compute to get the superhuman level intelligence AIs that they have been claiming. So if that pans out their probably gonna be fine, but seems unlikely that’ll pan out how they want it to

Same here, been hating on Discord from day one since you are the product with free services.

I do a significant amount of computing on my desktop, but yeah, social media, and by that I mean only Lemmy. I really only use on my phone when I’m away from my computer.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 5 weeks ago:
No just voice channels, I’m glad they have them but it was completely missing from their marketing on the website. Just says “text channels done right” and there isn’t a single lime about voice support
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 5 weeks ago:
No VOIP? That’s the only reason I ever use discord, when my friends force me to so I can talk while we play games. Guess teamspeak is still king

- Comment on Intel announced plans to start making GPUs, challenging NVIDIA's dominance 1 month ago:
“oh great, competition in a market with no competition. Horrible.”
Intel has already been making discrete GPUs for two generations and they are very cheap and aren’t the most performant but fantastic for the price.
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 1 month ago:
The original comment said Google, instead of Bezos, I have no idea why they edited their comment to this. Maybe they are thinking of Microsoft, who recently handed over encryption keys, but they don’t make phones anymore, lol.
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 1 month ago:
As another said, a Pixel with Graphene OS is likely the most secure device you can have, even against an Apple product. Cellebrite, the software a lot of companies use to break into these phones can’t get into a Pixel device before first unlock with Graphene OS. I believe a number of Apple products are the same thing as they can’t be accessed before first unlock or lockdown mode, but your data is more secure in the hands of an open source developer than a massive conglomerate.
Also, a notable feature of GrapheneOS is automatic reboots for any arbitrary time value you want, so your phone will always be in a “before first unlock” state if some steals it like the government
