Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that Spotify ran ICE recruitment ads. Boycott Spotify!English
37·1 day agoICE ads have also been ran on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram), Google platforms (Google Search, YouTube), Twitter, HBO Max, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Snapchat. Basically all of big tech that sell ads, with the notable exception of TikTok, which does not allow political and government advocacy ads.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Discord is killing its Electron app that can eat 4GB of RAM on Windows 11, and the Rust rebuild uses just 290MBEnglish
3·7 days agoIt doesn’t hurt to have the component that is optimized for drawing things to the screen be a bit more involved in drawing things to the screen.
Strictly speaking necessary? No. Does it hurt? Not at all.

6·7 days ago“Native” sort of loses its meaning in this context - this new client is not “native” in the sense of using the existing GUI tooling for each platform (Cocoa for macOS, any of Microsoft’s own frameworks on Windows, primarily Gnome/KDE on Linux).
It is using a universal framework in GPUI, so the experience will be the same on each platform.
It is “native” in the sense that it’s not web technology on any of the platforms.

4·7 days agoThe price of memory-thing is probably not that important as compared to the AI-assisted coding thing. Making things in Rust when you have access to AI tools is dead simple, which was always the argument for making things in Electron. Porting things from one language to another also happens to be one of the sweet spots for AI coding tools, they thrive on tasks that have very clear specs - an already existing codebase with tests is just about as clear of a spec as you can get.

6·7 days agoI’d be willing to bet $100 that AI assistance was involved in creating this new client, yes.
Similarly I’d bet the same amount that AI assistance was involved in building the former electron-based client

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Tourism Banner in HelskinkiEnglish
11·7 days agoSub-freezing temperatures during winter is way, way better than just above freezing. Snow helps so much in making winter passable. You can do winter sports and the snow reflects the light making it on average a lot lighter than if everything just melts away. Plus the snow is really pretty.
I’m sure Winnipeg has a few degrees of margin before being condemned to the type of misery we have to cope with in winter over here, though.
