*struggling to carry a huge armful of curtain rings*

…what a savings!

It’s literally a single path with no branches (except for the shortcuts), Pinky.

That’s apparently because the 5800X3D was discontinued last month. The 5700X3D is newer even though it’s slightly slower, so it hasn’t been discontinued yet.

(Incidentally, I found this all out a few days ago and decided I’d better finally upgrade my 1700X while I had the chance, so I’ve got a 5700X3D sitting on my desk waiting to be installed as I type this. Microcenter has them on sale for $180 right now, BTW.)

the court would probably start from the position that you are actually infringing a valid patent (it was granted after all)…because there is the assumption that every claim is made in good faith

In other words, one big aspect of patent reform needs to be fixing the patent office itself so that it hires patent examiners who are actually competent to evaluate the applications for prior art.

I have always used Firefox on all my devices, except for one: the Chromebook I was forced to buy because of compatibility with my college’s test proctoring spyware.

On that device, not only did uBlock Origin quit working the other day, but today Chrome even kept disabling uBlock Lite with the error message that “This extension reloaded itself too frequently”. It could be some kind of legitimate bug, but it sure feels a lot like foul play on Google’s part.

Brave was astro-turfed by crypto-scammers for way too long to give people suggesting it now the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine having an OS that doesn’t come with a proper package manager (and Firefox installed by default, for that matter).

Back then, !selfhosted@lemmy.world was one of the most active communities, LOL. There might be somewhat fewer people here right now, but at least the content has diversified somewhat since we settled in.

(Not that I dislike self-hosting, mind you. In fact I wouldn’t mind if that community were a little more active…)

.World not being hosted in the US is news to me (as an American member of it, no less). It’s definitely welcome news, though!

I don’t know the answer, but I do know I’d at least start off looking for hardware with a dedicated ASIC for routing, not general-purpose PC hardware doing routing with the CPU.

Probably not that new, at least including manufacturing emissions.

Best I’m willing to guess without research is “newer than mid-1990s,” since I’m pretty sure those are outperformed by <1W microcontrollers these days.

Or until the new stuff is so much more efficient that continuing to run the old stuff is no longer worth the electricity.

(With the calculation including manufacturing emissions for the new stuff, BTW.)

Dude the south lost and slavery is bad. I’m sorry

WTF? Don’t be sorry about that!

I know it’s just sort of a reflexive idiomatic politeness, but still, it is really important to make it absolutely crystal clear how irredeemably contemptible the “lost cause” shit take is, at every opportunity. Never, ever be polite about it!

It looks like the “good enough” placeholder art that devs put in before they get around to hiring an actual artist. It’s serviceable to understand what things are and what’s happening, but there’s no style to it.

He just told you: “it looks terrible.” And he’s not wrong; Factorio’s art really does kinda suck.

Stuff that isn’t accessed eventually gets deleted. If the Lemmy instances (which are clearnet, of course) delete the references to it, it would go away.

Chrome’s engine was originally forked from WebKit. That makes them too similar (even years later) for WebKit to count as a real alternative.

Seems to me that this is a use-case Freenet Hyphanet would be good for, both because it distributes the problem of file storage load and because it eliminates responsibility for each host to police his node by making it impossible for anyone to know which file chunks said node is hosting.

Nipples are wizards, confirmed.
