The index was a good headset when it came out 6 years ago. It isn't really anymore. (In terms of visual quality at least)

Ok, just read the artlce cited on wikipedia and it sounds like calling him a Trump supporter is a bit of an exaggeration. He seems basically centrist. Which is not great but not nearly as bad.

Their CEO is a Trump supporter

It's the same as about:profiles

Just an easy way to separate people's browsing histories, cookes, bookmarks, etc I guess. And you can have them sync independently as well. For if other people want to use the same computer

Well, I guess he has tried to make his views fairly plain on his blog. it's just a bit hard to find unless you're looking for it

As another example of this sort of thing, shopify, cloudflare, futo, jetbrains are sponsoring ladybird, while Kling apparently shares DHH's views. It's definitely generally bad to support a project led by this sort of person, and now that they know about it I think they should stop, but idk if i'd condemn the whole company over it. Especially as it often requires quite a bit of research to find out about that sort of stuff unless you were there when the social media drama happened.

i do want to point out how hard it is to even find out about the views of these people, if you just look up the names of the projects and aren't specifically looking for this information there's no way you'll find anything about it

even looking up the name of David Heinemeier Hansson, the more vocally bad of these, i had to go to the 5th link to find anything even vaguely mentioning his views

was looking at some of my youtube stats after seeing this and ???? how did exactly 420% of people seeing the video click on it? i swear this is not edited

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

The logo is 3.2 kb as a PNG, 3.2 kb as a webp, 2.7 kb as an avif, and .8 kb as a JXL

All are lossless, JXL lossless is crazy good

its 6.8 kb with jpegli (modern jpeg encoder) at what I would consider "good enough" quality (the original jpeg encoder is a fair amount worse and mozjpeg is actually a lot worse for some reason on this image)

using the image toolbox app for the testing btw, its foss and on fdroid

probably an ideal system would also be able to sense tilt and decelerate if you're starting to fall over backwards

the ux of the controls would be a tough part I think. Although with how good modern microcontrollers are it wouldn't be that hard to make a tiny remote that communicates over bluetooth low energy

well obviously it's not intended or certified for human consumption. that doesn't answer the question of if it works tho

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

These have both been taken with the exact same camera from the same location. The one on the left is with the OnePlus camera app, and the one on the right is from a community modification of the Google camera app to work on the OnePlus 12. The Google one looks a lot better because they use super-resolution from multiple short exposures automatically.

The Google camera app does not usually look better without zoom (in my short time testing) and also has a harder time focusing.

 

like really, you're just realizing that now??

What New York might look like with a double slit as your camera aperture.

What an eye might see, for comparison:

Here's a different, big double slit:

 

in the new minecraft april fools snapshot

it makes your gear degrade quicker with damage

 
 

With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"

edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to accurately determine whether a screenshot posted online is real or not. I'm thinking there could be an option in the browser to take a "secure screenshot", which would tag the screenshot with the date, url, and whether the page was modified on your computer. It could then hash both the tag and the image data and automatically upload this hash to some secure server somehow. There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was. I'm not much of a cryptography person, but I would be surprised if it isn't possible to do this. Then, you could check if the screenshot you see is legitimate by seeing if it's hash exists in the list of real hashes.

 

mitosis or some such

 

I'm sure everyone's fine with this

 

reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:

I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.

I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.

 

my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)
