Good stuff! )

A lot of the “less active ones” are completely dead. Many mid-tier topics (not niche, but not “meme shitpost”) have a sea of dead communities and 1-2 active ones and it’s difficult to find them without actually clicking through the full list of results.

Doesn’t this also connect to Mastodon?

Also funny how every instance seems to have furry/anime motifs. Nothing wrong with that, I am a big fan of some 80s/90s and early 2000s anime, just thought it’s funny. :)

The writing was on the wall when they started getting American VC money.

American VC culture is anthenema to truly user focused products.

I thought this was single extension publicly named as ShadyPanada

I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.

Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).

Looks very much like change for the sake of change, or be more specific, change for the sake of promotion.

If not for consoles, AMD would have likely gone bankrupt or become a marginal player.

Considering what’s happening with Intel in the past ~7 year, it would have been game over for x86 PC gaming on the CPU front.

Exactly this.

We continue to be able to make faster chips, both via smaller nodes, but also via advanced packaging and architecture improvements.

But the costs of every new generational increase is rising faster than the % performance improvement.

I am personally hoping this will eventually lead to a culture of total optimization (similar to what we saw in the 90s on both PC and console), but there are likely significant barriers to implementing such a new development culture at scale.

This is really good point. The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

e-greeting cards

Haven’t even thought about them in what seems like a quarter of a century.

F-Droid has the potential to make a much a bigger impact on a relative basis. Most people with still use default app stores, but I think F-Droid still has a long way even among semi-technical audiences.

It was require a different set of incentives, as wall as massive (global) reforms in judicial system, criminal approaches and rehabilitation policies for organized crime.

Seems fine.

Sounds about right for crypto scheme participants.

Vapid American techology industry insiders are incapable of making a truly good, user-focused product.

P.S. Let’s not forget that Rose’ last project was a NFT scam and some other blockchain bullshit. He clearly can’t think outside the box.

Spam about a once in a lifetime opportunity for generational wealth via an investment into PooPooCoin?

You can post to Mastodon and tag Lemmy community and the Mastodon post will appear as a Lemmy post.

There are significant limitations to this approach such lack of graceful support for thumbnails, markdown (doesn’t work on the Mastodon side) and URLs. I.e. it’s only good fat basic text posts (or image only posts).

Crazy to think that the concept of “bootleg quality” was even possible for a CPU.
