  • Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

  • Noice. Tbh I didn't post too much on /r/Android as I liked being a mod on it as I'm a huge Android nerd; I think people would have called mod abuse or something if they only saw my posts in the feed lol. People liked to be overtly critical of the modding anyway on that subreddit.

  • I mean in software terms it's ancient. It's also the last mainstream OS which was popular before phones became the defacto target device of choice for every new software application.

  • I don't like that Windows 7 is old enough to unironically be called a classic.

  • I use Feedly for discovery, they have a crap load of websites you can subscribe to even if the websites don't explicitly advertise RSS.

    And then use the Feedly desktop website to get the actual RSS URL and put it in the client of your choice 🙃

  • Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy

  • Oh cool, wasn't aware of that.

  • I haven't read the full article due to sign up paywall, but...

    First, millions of small business owners and influencers who make a living on TikTok were left to beg their followers in TikTok’s last moments to follow them elsewhere in hopes of being able to continue their businesses on other corporate social media platforms. This had the effect of fracturing and destroying people’s audiences overnight, with one act of government.

    How is decentralised social media going to help with this if the entire point of decentralisation is the opposite?

    Let's try it again: This post from #Mastodon can reach the whole #Fediverse, #Bluesky & more. That's #Sharkey, #Pixefeld (hence the pic), #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Akkoma... How far can

  • HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

    Jump

  • Not really.

    • like I said bandwidth required is insanely high, 4k movies are around 30-60 gb (for download not streaming). Extrapolate that to 8k, and a TV series? No one is going to reserve potentially 500gb to 1TB for a TV series in 8k for local download
    • phones especially mid rangers are still somewhat struggling with watching 4k content if it is local, not to mention even 4k is useless for the screen size of a phone. Every thing is mobile driven these days in terms of design.
    • 8k is not going to be worth for monitors because of their size
    • Top of the line graphic cards still cannot max out the latest games at 4k60, how can they achieve 8k? Not to mention the power draw will be higher.

    Sorry but no way native 8k is going mainstream any time soon. 4k is genuinely better looking over 1080p but 8k to 4k is not much of a difference for the relative increase in requirements.

  • HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content

  • I doubt the general public cares about or can even tell the difference from 4k to 8k. Not to mention the amount of bandwidth that will be required.

  • Americans have it better then most countries in the world. Stop acting like you aren't rich or more privileged than others.

  • Can't wait for someone to ask an LLM "Hey tell me what Margot Robbie's interests are" only for it to respond "Margot Robbie is a known supporter of free software, and a fierce proponent of beheading CEOs".
