Lol I still don’t really understand ipv6 and I work in IT. Ipv4 is so much easier and nicer to work with

Wait LAME encoders are now obsolete? Tf? How did I miss this?

I mean “either use a Chromium browser or you can’t display or use the site” sounds pretty similar to me.

Because it’s old and easy to handle. Yes it’s wasteful if you convert whole videos, but really anything under 10s with low rez is easily handleable by pretty much anything. Gif was the first animated format and that’s why it’s big. Also early internet forum days were absolutely plastered with pixelart gifs that ran for minutes and barely swalloed 100kb. You can get a lot of bang for your buck if you save on pixels and framerate. But ofc a 60fps render of some 4k bluray clip will eat your memory. Contrast that with 16×32 px gif that runs at 8fps.

Why would you write this to disk? RAM can easily hold a 1megapixel bmp

Lemmy was basically God in the metal scene.

Denying the holocaust is only possible because of freedom of speech and look what it’s doing.

This only works for that particular law (insults) and I agree. However it breaks down at misinformation and allowing more of it enables attacks on the very foundation of those freedoms. And very often insults and misinformation go hand in hand in people with extremist stances.

Being forced into it due to family will feel bad. But if nothing else is going on, people might actually enjoy it. I have seen churches in the jungle and the mass on weekends was like a social happening like a party people were looking forward to.

This is frankly fantastic news. You just need to classify gacha as gambling and you’re done. This is probably way easier than to legally define what a gacha game is.

I’m pretty sure if they actually do that it has far reaching consequences and will get killed within a year by financial institutions. That is a massive security issue. Also AMD would rub their hands because it will flush a lot of money into their pockets to develop alternatives. They are already winning with CPUs.

But when did VC money get flushed in? I doubt that it just somehow stops out of nowhere. I mean all these companies weren’t exactly founded at the same time.

I’ll try helping out ;)

I also don’t understand the need for safety bubbles especially on the platform lemmy which is pretty outspoken and overwhelmingly leftist. These issues should be visible to the general public to make them aware, not segregated in their own vicinity where no one else is allowed and will lead to hyperfixation and very likely discriminatory viwepoints and discussions.
I have taken a look at communities like twoXchromosomes, childfree and incel and the language they use sometimes is eerily similar to nazis and faschists. Tribalism develops really fast and it is NOT a good thing. Too many times I’ve read stuff like “today I completely destroyed <target enemy demographic>”. In the case of twoX it was men, in incels it was women and in childfree it was moms. These communities were formed out of a legitimate point of unacceptance and ignorance by the average person but longtime segregation effects are starting to take hold. The LGBT+ is also starting to show these effects and I don’t really like it tbh. I’ve honestly been denied entrance to publicly advertised events and happenings just because I wasn’t “gay” or “queer”. This will not foster acceptance. Especially not in a space where no one cares or knows what you are. I mean programming is about the most equalizing activity ever. Job environments and work teams are still suffering from ignorance but the programming itself is equal and especially online you should not segregate the community. Imo.

I mean was that really bad? I heard slashdot died when it tried to change their system?

I’d also add a (funny/informative/opinion) vote button aswell. These spaces can become noise drowners where information can be drowned by repeated jokes that get upvoted to the top. Too many times I’ve seen conversations like “Does this mean I can do A or B? - Yes.”
Itgets really exhausting. Having an easy filter to skip the noise would be great.

You can use the website for the meantime. It’s fairly responsively designed.

Same for me. The only thing beehaw now has that interests me is the technology community, which seems fairly active. Other than that it died for me there. For what? Because they couldn’t deal with a few trolls? And they want their own walled garden for site applications?
