I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

Nothing particularly, but it would let LW and other instances distance themselves from the lemmy.ml admins.

Tbh this is one of the reasons why I’m looking forward toward Sublinks

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

You could write C or assembly and it would be compiled to something that would run on an embedded chip. They may or may not be running an RTOS.

If you have a memory-mapped peripheral where there’s a readonly register, I could see it being const volatile.

Most of the embedded world uses those.

These would be great for backups if they’re cheap enough.

Signal works. The adoption is fairly slow, but I’ve had friends slowly begin to use it.

I hate how tipping is now customary at every single restaurant now, including places without servers.

My older brother got me into Ubuntu when I was around 12. He basically showed me the basics, like the terminal and a couple commands, then just told me to manpage or Google everything else.

Then I got Linux for the Wii and that really got me into the nitty gritties of Linux.

I don’t think it’s very useful at generating good code or answering anything about most libraries, but I’ve found it to be helpful answering specific JS/TS questions.

The MDN version is also pretty great too. I’ve never done a Firefox extension before and MDN Plus was surprisingly helpful at explaining the limitations on mobile. Only downside is it’s limited to 5 free prompts/day.

You can (could?) get Thinkpads with Ubuntu preinstalled.

I think there’s an update with that but I’m not entirely sure.

Here’s some things Lemmy could potentially implement:

• a default sort that favors smaller communities
• better onboarding for new users that guides them into discovering new communities
• giving recommendations to other similar communities

…such as?

I’ve had Ziply Fiber before (but not 50 Gbps) and would max their upload for months and they didn’t even bat an eye. It’s the only ISP that I would ever recommend.

If you had really slow Internet, like smoke signals or semaphores across a nation, you could characterize it as millibit:

1 bit over 1000 seconds = 1 millibit/s.

But yeah, it’s basically meaningless in today’s age for Internet speeds.
