I've heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

It's so idiotic that it can't be malice.
It's just Linus overworking his employees.

Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck?
Pulling this out of my ass, but I think the problem might be in Lemmy using websockets.
I feel like supporting 1500 simultaneous users making a request every 10-20 seconds is easier than keeping 1500 websockets alive.
Irregardless, Lemmy does feel very snappy compared to other websites I've had the displeasure of using. Main problem is low robustness in the RPC layer.

Yep.
But reading one outdated line of English is worse than reading 5 lines of code and seeing the true picture.

Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report

Some people will always want wires to transfer data,
But that group of people is growing smaller and smaller with each year. I haven't used a phone cable to transfer files once in the last 8 years. Phones just sync to cloud.

[Discussion] I don't think this format makes a lot of sense for the fediverse
The issue with tags is who's going to moderate them.
The reddit model has an owner responsible for each community. Tags don't, and as such the moderation responsibility over everything falls on server administrators.

Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

I got a few ideas:
Let people make their own multi-communities, then publish them. The multis would get a separate category in search.
Let community moderators decide to join a list. For example:

I think that swappable GPUs are the killer feature. A 7 year old CPU is fine, a 7 year old GPU not so much.

I know Lemmy is about to take off because the porn is quickly moving from drawn henti and furry images to gonewild onlyfan contributors. I call it the QOTP Index (Quality Of The Porn). Reddit is done.
yes, the lessening of porn quality is more reddit-like.

Smartest thing I've done this month: Disable the YouTube app
If you're using Firefox, install uBlock as well. You can also add the YouTube website as a shortcut to your desktop.

But my WiFi is just fine!

Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you're easily saturating that line either way.
Only if latency doesn't matter. WiFi has a lot more jitter, no matter if your WAN connection is 10 or 1000mbps.

If I have a camera on a tripod and I angle down...the view goes up. If I angle up, the view goes down.
I much prefer a simpler analogy: If I look up, I look up. If I look down, I look down.

And now Bezos is trying to insert ads everywhere
I think that Spotify (or any other music streaming service) are the only ones still worth it. I don't have to sign up for Spotify and Tidal and YouTube Music since any of them has whatever I need.
If that were to change, then I'll be subscription-free.
Also, I like paying for Spotify since it's the only European big-tech.

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

Because they know it will sell.
They don't need to make a good Star Wars movie because they don't need to onboard new fans. They make them only to squeeze out existing fans who will pay regardless of quality.
The new Matrix movie was actually a masterpiece. The Wachowski's didn't want to revive the franchise since they considered it complete - but the studio insisted that if they didn't make it, the studio would get it done itself. So they accepted the offer, and made a movie so bad that it killed any attempts at reviving the franchise for good. The Matrix is now dead, and it will stay that way (hopefully).
I guess Star Wars is too strong to kill even with multiple shit movies.
Besides that, for how long can you squeeze the same universe? I'd rather have something new.

How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
I didn't fully drop Reddit but I use it significantly less.
