Thanks! I didn’t see that one

I was having some issues today as well. My client (Voyager) was acting like I’m subscribed to zero communities. I had to log out and back in to fix things. Given the timing, I bet it’s related.

Markdown is my preference. It’s certainly not perfect for formatting. But it’s fantastically simple because it’s barely more than plain text. And it’ll usually look good in the end

If you’d like to learn more about Haptic, why it’s being built, what its goals are and how it differs from all the other markdown editors out there, you can read more about it here.

As others have noted, the app doesn’t work on mobile yet. Anybody willing to share the content here for mobile users?

That basic idea is roughly how compression works in general. Think zip, tar, etc. files. Identify snippets of highly used byte sequences and create a “map of where each sequence is used. These methods work great on simple types of data like text files where there’s a lot of repetition. Photos have a lot more randomness and tend not to compress as well. At least not so simply.

You could apply the same methods to multiple image files but I think you’ll run into the same challenge. They won’t compress very well. So you’d have to come up with a more nuanced strategy. It’s a fascinating idea that’s worth exploring. But you’re definitely in the realm of advanced algorithms, file formats, and storage devices.

That’s apparently my long response for “the other responses are right”

Wouldn’t there be a net zero force from pulling and being pulled?

It’sa little hard to think through but my best guess is nothing at all

I just watched the video. There is absolutely nothing noteworthy about it at all. Did I miss something? Why does this event matter?

It’s literally a very slow video of Biden walking on the plane and later walking off the plane. And there’s a lot of nothing happening as well. I don’t get it

I like that Meta is fined for this bad practice. But why are they paying the state? How does this help anyone that was actually victim of the facial recognition?

I can see an argument based on how state funds help state residents. But it still doesn’t really feel right to me.

A real tangential thought: What if fines claimed by the state didn’t increase the states fund? What if those funds reduced the tax burden of residents from the bottom up?

Well that’s foreboding to say the least.

I listened to a bit of the speech to see if the context helps at all. It doesn’t. He was just asking people to go vote, which is totally fine. But that’s it. Nothing else to warrant a comment like this one. And it sure sounds like no more voting is the plan. Literally. Maybe it’s a thoughtless comment? Yikes

Have you tried The First Descendant yet? It’s pretty rough with load times and beats the cap out a graphics card. Is that considered AAA?

Well this was oddly nostalgic for me to read. You immediately reminded of FFVI

I think this is a side effect of sharing and discussion these events online, especially in a link aggregator like Lemmy. You can you see inconsistent views presented in multiple threads yet they feel as if you’re interacting with the same group of people.

Some people are happy about this turn of events while others are not. I expect that you’re seeing differing major opinions from separate groups of people.

lol thanks for the answer. This is the really relevant bit isn’t it? My Linux machines have also never died this badly before. But I’ve seen windows do it a number of times before this whole fiasco.

This is funny timing for me. I mentioned something related to my wife yesterday. When I was a kid, my perception of other countries was completely ridiculous. Low tech, uncivilized, impoverished, etc. compared to the USA. It took way too long for me to achieve a more realistic perspective of foreign countries at large. I’m not sure who to blame for this but the they surely belong to the previous generation or two.

What’s the user experience like there? Are you prompted to do it if the system fails to boot “happily”?

I’m familiar enough with Linux but never used an immutable distro. I recognize the technical difference between what you describe and “go delete a specific file in safe mode”. But how about the more generic statement? Is this much different from “boot in a special way and go fix the problem”? Is any easier or more difficult than what people had to do on windows?

A complicated plugin ecosystem (e.g. Jenkins) makes for a terrible use experience. It’s annoying to configure a bunch of config files. Managing dependencies can be a complete nightmare. these problems also complicate your ci/cd.

So I’ll offer a slightly different answer. I prefer a single file instead of splitting up the config. And I’ll use OpenTelemetry as an excellent example of why. the plugins are compiled right into the app binary. This offers a ton of advantages, including a great reason to merge all of your app configs in a single file.

This really only works well if you have a good app though.

Ya this is definitely one to maintain some skepticism about. People are criticizing the API’s security in other posts.

The EU is a large enough governing body to have a significant global impact. And I truly appreciate the progress it makes on important subjects.

However, it’s still not effective enough. Apple doesn’t allow third party app stores in countries outside the EU.
