Nothing says community like splintering the already tiny community into 90 smaller distros sub-communities

Splintering nothing. I’m on Piefed right now. The Fediverse means it plays nice with Lemmy just fine. Same with Mbin.

cm0002’s reply is a good summary. It’s an alternate platform, but because of the nature of the Fediverse it plays nicely with Lemmy. So I’m posting this on Piefed but you can read it with Lemmy, and vice versa.

I get it.

When Voyager got Piefed support I exported my communities and decided to try it. Loving it so far!

And eventually:

Friendship ended with Lemmy

Now Piefed is my new best friend

I mean…yeah, if we had a realistic way to find preserved dinosaur DNA and bring those bad boys back? I’d say do it in a heartbeat. Stupid? Absolutely. But worth it.

Sadly finding DNA that has survived intact for dozens of millions of years is impossible. 😭

This issue was great. It gave me an excuse to upgrade to a better SSD, which also gave me an excuse to try Linux for the first time in like a decade (other than the Steam Deck). Threw Nobara on the drive that Windows would murder. Haven’t had time to play around with it much, but I’m excited to try it.

Even if the headline weren’t misleading, I wouldn’t be shocked if they have a hard time getting telemetry reports from failed drives from users if the OS is installed on said drive.

Then again, a modern OS should be able to phone home with a crash report as it crashes depending on what has failed, so I guess I’ve talked myself out of that hypothetical lack of shock.

So…disregard this. 😅

It’s usually fine, but when it decides to be difficult it’s extremely frustrating. It’s pretty rare that it directly affects me, but it has happened. And for some of my coworkers it seems to be always acting up.

That being said, I do love being able to walk my dog while on meetings with Teams on my phone.

😳

The “G” stands for “Graphics”. Why would anybody pronounce it “jif”?

Well some of us are refined enough to pronounce it like “giraffe-ics.”

(But also because it was a joke by the format’s creators. “Choosy developers choose GIF.” Like the “choosy moms” Jif peanut butter commercials.)

It’s not that computationally intensive to upscale frames. TVs have been doing it algorithmically for ages and looking good doing it. Hell, nVidia graphics cards can do it for every single frame of high end games with DLSS. Calling it “AI” because the type of algorithm it’s using is just cashing in on the buzzword.

(Unless I’m misunderstanding what’s going on.)

Wait ‘til they find out the cereal in bags is the same thing as the cereal in boxes.

Agreed.

Also it being more natural is irrelevant. They aren’t wild animals. They’re pets. They’re much better fed than anything they’d compete with, so they aren’t having to worry about being sparing with their caloric expenditure. That’s also not natural.

Get a catio, don’t let your cat roam wild.

Stuff like slicing Austin and Houston into pieces that extend WAY out into the rural areas, to lump in sufficient red votes to drown out the blue of the cities.

Right, I couldn’t remember the word “catio.”

Well yeah, they gotta make up for all the revenue a final season of Colbert is going to lose them!

Don’t let your cats be outdoor cats. It seriously harms local bird populations. Cats are murderous little shits.

Make a little fully-fenced-in area if you think they need to be outside.

PNG is lossless and supports transparency.

I feel like that should’ve already been a given when the 13th and 14th gen Core processors permanently kneecap themselves if they feel like it. But that’s just me.

I suppose with regard to Ukraine I should have said “our support was.”
