I hate to say it to ya, but people are you are why they can get away with it. I feel your pain though, i couldnt imagine what would happen if vlc were to go this low. Id have no replacement i like as much as vlc hebe
I’m not a user of this instance so I’m absolutely not going to try to tell you how it should be run, but I am curious. The other instances defederated are ones which have a pretty well-known reputation....
So, i was a liftoff user because the app was the app that looked the most like rif when i migrated away from reddit in july last year, but hasnt had updates since. With the lemmy.world update from a few hours ago its officially dead though which makes me sad as the others arent like it all. ANYWAY, now using voyager and trying...
Hm, that PR is one of the things i was missing ye! Im not sure why it hasnt been merged yet though. Sure, the guy didnt ask if he could work on it but the code looks ok from a far and he has it done now anyway. Might as well merge it then anyway…
Personally id tackle it in an agile way, and implement it step by step as user feedback comes in. Like sure, id like user profiles to look like they look in boost and liftoff, but id be happy to see them in comments first.
But i am not part of the project so its not for me to decide nor tell you how to run it! Thanks for linking this though and thanks for the app! Liking it so far! :)
Thats a fair reasoning. Im running lineageos myself (without root) so i can also do a lot of customization or app removal. That and lineageos is freaking good and keeps updating older phones!
Following the release of the second beta version of iOS 17.4, it emerged that Apple had restricted the functionality of iOS web apps in the EU. Web apps could no longer launch from the Home Screen in their own top-level window that takes up the entire screen, relegating them to a simple shortcut with an option to open...
And that a week after eu announced they’d investigate apple for excluding the feature in the eu.

When Alabama’s Supreme Court defined frozen embryos as children, the shock and confusion was immediate. Major hospitals pulled fertility services and would-be parents scrambled for clarity on what would happen next....
Knowing multiple people who have gone through IVF procedures, and have had it fail time and time again, i felt that as well. They were heartbroken, time and time again.
One lf them has a child on the way, and the other has stopped trying, for those who wonder :)
I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭
Its gaming. I asked this in an old thread before and the response was gaming and emulation. Which is fair if you want the latest and greatest, but general usage on my fairphone 4 is snappy and fine so idk. I dont do gaming on my phone though :)
Fairphone 4 is not slow for general usage, but for gaming it can be slow depending on the load, ye.
Gamecube emulation would be slower than latest and greatest, but those soc’s only have 4 years of support, and thats not up to fairphone’s standards
Just like any hardware, it all depends what you use it for and what your requirements are.
Gigabytes, or gibibyte? Yes gibibyte is a thing.
As much as i hate to say it, but due to marketting fuckery the usage of byte has ruined it all as a 2TB drive is not 2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 8 bits but instead 2 terabit ( 2*1000000000 )
Then comes the discussion if “1KB” is 1024 bytes or if 1000 bytes is a kilobyte. If you ask me, 1KB is 1024 bytes. If you ask the people using the kibibytes system, 1KB is 1000 bytes…
Shits fucking complex and fucked up. Cant go wrong if you say it in bits though
I never knew the whole thing was considered part of the metric system, makes sense though.
I love the metric system to death because its so simple and easy, and it links different measurements together ( 1l of water = 1kg etc ).
That said, a computer works differently and because we work in factors of 2, 1000 bytes being a kilobyte makes no sense once you start working with bits and low level stuff. Other than that, i can see why the stuff was redefined.
Also, i think linux also works in factors of 1024, but id need to check
I agree with what you said, and its imo why the discussion of a factor of 1000 and 1024 will always rage on. Im a developer, and do embedded stuff in my free time. Everything around me is factor 1024 because of it, and i hate the factor 1000. But from a generic user standpoint, i agree its a lot more user friendly, as they are used to the metric system of a factor of 10

What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?
I’ve worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.
