  • lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month

  • The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

  • There are also bluetooth adapters that plug directly into those older iPods' accessory port (the slot on the bottom) instead of the headphone jack.

    The main benefit of the one I used was being compact, with no wires. The main drawback was having to remove the adapter to charge the iPod. I guess a model with a USB charging cable might exist.

  • Yes, that's part of the ecosystem. :)

  • I attribute Java's uptake to a large amount of marketing and support, which led to a massive ecosystem. Even a mediocre language like this one can find success when propped up like that.

  • Is Incus the community-maintained fork of LXD, post-takeover by Canonical?

  • This is a huge win for the open source community!!

    The headline alone? No, I don't think so, because AMD's driver had a reputation for working in some situations (mostly non-gaming IIRC) where Mesa didn't.

    However, this bit quoted from the release notes might make up for it:

    "The Mesa Vulkan driver will be officially supported, along with Mesa OpenGL and Multimedia support."

    Assuming they mean that AMD will work with Mesa to get the remaining edge cases fixed, so that the proprietary driver is no longer needed at all, this does seem like good news.

  • and potentially to watch US citizens as well

    Anyone who thinks this is not being used on US citizens is incredibly naïve.

  • At least one of the named routers (RT-AC3100) is supported by OpenWRT, which generally has a better security track record than stock firmware.

  • It would be interesting to see the annual global power consumption from design choices like this.

  • You're not asking too much. In a text forum like this one, at least a brief summary or minimal discussion really ought to accompany any video-only post that lacks obvious importance to most readers.

  • Looks like a promising effort. I just wish their notion of "first-class Qt support" included Qt Widgets.

    Or, if they're unwilling to do that, exposing in Qt Quick the missing functionality that has been available in Qt Widgets for ages.

  • Current web browser engines generally support JavaScript and WebAssembly, and no others (unless via a plugin, as with Java).

    So, if I understand you correctly, your options are to find a language that transpiles down to one of those two (several such languages exist), or find an engine that isn't precisely a web engine but supports some alternative language(s). I don't know any useful examples of the latter, but perhaps someone else will chime in with something like that.

  • Can you clarify what you're asking for?

    If you mean a web browser that isn't based on Firefox or Chromium, the Ladybird project might fit.

    If you mean a web-like platform that doesn't use fancy things like JavaScript, HTML and CSS, there is Gemini.

    Do you mean something else?

  • The normalisation of constant surveillance makes me want to vomit.

  • I've seen fewer failures in their stand-alone laser printers than their all-in-one printer/scanners, but yeah, I second Brother.
