My PC has a i7-4790k overclocked to 4.5 GHz. It runs smoothly since I got it when it came out and it is still not a bottleneck in any of the games I play. But if I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 I would need to buy a new CPU, new main board and new RAM, and it would not improve my gaming experience at all. It was my last machine running windows which I changed to Linux 2 months ago and I haven’t looked back.

What services do you think are worth letting them violate my rights to my personal information?

Oh yes please make Meta pull all their crap out of the EU. I can’t wait for it!

As wgbirne already said, the admin has more important real life stuff to do unfortunately. If I understood it correctly, the lack of storage also killed the database, leaving it in an inconsistent state. In addition to that there seems to be an issue with the backups so no easy rollback and probably a lot of manual fixing needed.

It seems to be an issue where ImageMagick filled up the drive, which in turn killed the database. After freeing the space, the database has now an inconsistent state and throws errors. It also looks like the db backups are corrupt. For whatever reason I’m still able to use this account through the Sync app.

I have these information from their matrix room https://matrix.io/#/#feddit:tilde.fun

I’m not saying that rewriting he backend is a good choice, but for me specifically, I’d like Lemmy to be written in Java. Why? I’m a Java software engineer for nearly 7 years now and I’d like to contribute. Yes, I could learn Rust, like I did learn Go, C, C++ and other languages during my cs studies. But I really don’t have the free time and motivation to do that after I already worked 8-10 hours at my computer. If I could use my existing Java knowledge to quickly fix some small bugs or whatever, I’d love to do that. But the hurdle to learn a new language (including other paradigms and best practices) just to contribute to this one project is just too high for me.

I’m using Kagi for quite some time now and it’s awesome. But recently I was using a different machine and did not have my login credentials at hand so I used Google and holy shit I didn’t remember Google giving such aweful results. I was not able to find what I was looking for. Then searched the same thing on my phone through Kagi and the solution was in the first three results. So yes I also feel that Google search is getting worse.

Just because violet light triggers both red and blue receptors in our eyes, that doesn’t mean there is only discrete red and blue light hitting them. It’s just that light with 380nm to 450nm wavelength triggers both typed of receptors. So there is violet light.

There’s an estimation done in Germany every year. And the result is always that only around 4% of the the people on welfare abuse it. Compared to the damage that is done to the state by clever tax evasion of super rich people, these are peanuts. But going after these 4% of welfare abusers is of course easier so that’s why they put a lot effort into it.

Yes. I know a bank where you’re trading fees are lower or even zero, depending on the size of your share portfolio.

I have a different password for each service I use. Each password is 30+ characters long and completely random with letters, numbers and special characters. There’s no way I could remember any of them and they’d be a hell to type out manually. I use KeePass on every device I own and it’s synced over my NAS. So it’s super convenient and no risk for leaks.

I laughed at that, thank you!

Yes, I think Beehaw for example has no downvotes (or doesn’t show them).
