  For me the site’s performance has generally been fine, it’s just the first load of the home feed that takes a long time every time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does "grammatical gender" mean here?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s up to each app developer whether they wanna use the new API. According to the docs linked in this thread, each app needs to ask the user separately which option they prefer (so as of right now, there isn’t a system wide option for it).

  So it’s not very clear to me why that option exists, even as a developer setting. Maybe Android itself uses it for its UI, but it’s still in the testing phase? Someone who has their phone set to one of those gendered languages could test it to see if changing the setting actually changes anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does "grammatical gender" mean here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for this. My phone is in Finnish and that option has been incorrectly translated (“Kieliopillinen suku” ≈ “Grammatical family”, but family as in your relatives) and when I noticed it I wondered what that hell that meant and google didn’t help. Makes sense now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get a new line in a post, but not two?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Android wants to automatically add a “.” to the end of a sentence if I double space too fast

  If using GBoard, that can be disabled in settings. I don’t know anyone who actually uses that feature, I don’t know why it’s enabled by default.

  Thank you for keeping tchncs running! I joined on Patreon for now. I was wondering tho, which of the available option have the lowest processing fees? After direct bank transfer obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse Canvas Event 2025 live stream⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s cool. I’m sorry if it came across like I was criticizing your live stream, that wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to add the link to the actual event since it was missing from your post.

  And now that you mention it, it is cool to have the whole event (or at least most of it) available as a VOD, if someone wants to put together more timelapses for example.

  Umm… Why would anyone watch the live stream as they can literally watch it live at canvas.fediverse.events

  Thanks. This is kinda important info so I’ve edited my initial comment.

  They are not saying anything on why they are removing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin over the internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update[…]

  What’s the source for this? I wasn’t able to find anything with a quick google search

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin over the internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see everyone in this thread recommending a VPN or reverse proxy for accessing Jellyfin from outside the LAN. While I generally agree, I don’t see a realistic risk in exposing Jellyfin directly to the internet. It supports HTTPS and certificates nowadays, so there’s no need for outside SSL termination anymore.

  In my setup, which I’ve been running for some time, I’ve port-forwarded only Jellyfin’s HTTPS port to eliminate the possibility of someone ending up on pure HTTP and sending credentials unencrypted. I’ve also changed the default Jellyfin’s default port to a non-standard one to avoid basic port-scanning bots spamming login attempts. I fully understand that this falls into the security through obscurity category, but no harm in it either.

  Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong? I’m genuinely curious, as the sentiment online seems to be that at least a reverse proxy is almost mandatory for this kind of setup, and I’m not entirely sure why.

  If you are in the UK (where lemmy.zip is geoblocked due to UK laws)[…]

  That’s news for me. Anyone know what law(s) exactly they have problems with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows Drops To 40 FPS At 720P On The Next-Gen Nvidia RTX 5070Ti⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be an unpopular opinion but after around two hours of gameplay I’m perfectly happy with the performance on my 3060Ti. On medium-high settings it can easily maintain 60fps on 1440p. That is with DLSS of course and ray tracing turned down to minimum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just started playing Life is Strange⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first game of the series is the best in my opinion. It went downhill from there.
