we have a love/hate relationship

That gives me the idea of windows server installed on bare metal configured as a lightweight game runner. (much like a linux distro with minimal wm)

I’ve seen people using slightly modified windows server as an unbloated gaming OS but I’m not sure if running a custom minimal GUI on windows server is possible. You seem knowledgeable on the subject, with enough effort, is it possible?

But Windows Server has GUI. Although a server having GUI (not webui, desktop) is kinda stupid

As the rule of thumb with FOSS projects, it has a horrible name

Time to rename it to one of the very creative FOSS project names

• yet another something (YAS)
• something is not other thing (SINOT)
• OpenSomething, FreeSomething, LibreSomething
• Something<framework name>
• Periodic table
• Somethingify (this one is new)

Kudos to devs though. This is awesome

I don’t think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern “social” media works, it’s the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can’t really get addicted to fedi

I wasn’t really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn’t like it much.

I don’t know why but “the algorithm” is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely “fake”. Other sorting methods like “new” or “by most active” just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

this is the peak of human engineering, this is what we have been working for since the dawn of humanity, this is the end, the perfection.

Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable

I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It’s a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms

They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it’s just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those

I love big phones though. Smaller ones feel too claustrophobic to me

Also, from a usabity point of view, bigger screens are better for watching videos in landscape, editing text and it’s easier to use the gestures and the keyboard (I don’t even have fat fingers). I think only downside is ring and pinky fingers hurting after a while because of the weight

I mean if you are a pretentious asshole worried about stinky users stealing your precious content…

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

Don’t get me wrong, I like this but why am I feeling like this would be a consistency nightmare for GTK and QT apps

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK

My 8 year old lovebird died a few days ago.

His name was sherbet but the nicknames include: chicken, rodent, animal, (the) bird, birdhead, mango, weirdo… And because of that, now everything reminds me of her

I held his body in my hand cried for hours. We went to gradma’s yard with my brother to burry him, I broke down crying while digging so my little brother finished it for me.

Our home is just too silent without him, I miss him so much

This seems like a stupid idea at first but it’s actually amazing. They mix high resistance metals into the bricks so the bricks can conduct electricity and heat up while doing that. And then they blow air through the holes on the bricks to extract the heat whem needed. It leaks about 3% of the stored energy per day which is absolutely nothing considering it’s cost

I’m gonna drop these papers here. First one is more of a brief intro and the second one discusses practicality and logistics of such systems

Rpeak values are calculated using the advertised clock rate of the CPU. For the efficiency of the systems you should take into account the Turbo CPU clock rate where it applies

I’m gonna speculate, but I don’t think these systems can run all cpu cores on turbo due to power and thermal limitations and because that wouldn’t be good cost/processing power wise (since you need excessive cooling to do that). Rather, they fire turbo on groups of CPUs, allowing the CPUs to cool down till the sequence wraps around

So, I think rPeak is the processing power achieved when the computer is turboing a large chunk of CPUs

Sorry for my messy writing, I’m a little tired
