Hahaha, that’s a pretty wild read.

The fucking Gamaverse,

It all depends on what areas of technology interest you. Some context (e.g. in the body of the lemmy post) for more niche areas is always helpful.

Do you have any more info on this?

I use Mastadon pretty regularly and I feel like I somewhat know how it works, yet I read the Threads FAQ on federation and I have no clue what’s going on.

But yes, the ability to subscribe to “mainstream” accounts in Threads from mastadon servers (if they allow federation with Meta) would be a good feature.

Some context on what the fuck is rabbit and r1 would have been helpful.

While a lot of the technical details are beyond my paygrade, this seems to be a potentially large game-changer in the medium term (with possibly a massive impact on Nvidia’s share price).

The Wikipedia article is a good starting point if you wanted to actually get an alternative perspective.

But you don’t.

Sure he had some shady connections, but all accusations of actual wrongdoing supposedly comitted by Assange himself were brought forward, sourced and verified by the same US authorities, that employed or protected the criminals he exposed, which makes them basically worthless.

Opposing the Lukashenko regime is being a criminal?

I get tankies and right-wingers, they actually know what Assange is about.

But allegedly well meaning people thinking that he is some sort messiah or saviour, that’s what’s sad.

He is a genuine supporter of russian imperialism and he has no qualms with sending opposition activists to hellish prisons, all the while positioning himself as some sort of fighter against US imperialism.

Former russia today employee, Julian Assange after British prison, Volodymyr Tsema-Bursov, Ukrainian POW, after 20 month in russian captivity.

And Assange support the russian regime and enables what they do to captives.

You are the traitor for siding with the oppressor.

Right supporting Lukashenko’s regime is such a noble endeavour!

Zoldyck is not lying.

Look up Assange and his connection with Israel Shamir, who helped Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus target opposition activists.

This wasn’t a mistake, he knew what he was doing.

People just buy into the PR around him (also spread by security services in russia and not only) without taking a critical look at his actions.

Do better!

He’ll be back to supporting russian imperialism and working with russian security services. Even more people will end up in russian concentration camps (where they have it way worse than he did in British prison) because of his actions.

The guy literally worked for russia today and admitted that he had a personal policy of never criticizing russia in a substantive manner.

Android 11 is not getting security updates? I can see manufacturers not pushing updates, but I would have assumed Google still patches the OS. It seems that roughly 18% of Android devices still run 11, with another 11% for Android 10.

Funnily enough, I was hearing this from developers in the early 2010s when I was just starting my career (IT adjacent, but not a developer).

Representatives for developers of the remaining three plugins couldn’t be reached because they provided no contact information on their sites.

You’re asking for trouble if you’re using such random plugins on production sites.

Thanks! Too bad it’s not more activity.

Outside of job searching, I can’t stand LinkedIn, the “content” and self-promotion you see there makes me want to become a committed misanthrope.

AI could categorize users by competency (i.e. how often they discuss specific topics and agree with some corpus), but I doubt it does that. It’s probably just taking posts at face value.

This is not being done though right? I haven’t heard anything about content ranking with connections outside of Google seemingly using authors name is articles from large news sources.

They are correct in that encoding is a super geeky topic even by the standards of technology discussions.

It is fascinating to see how encoding has changed across generation. Take a relatively high bitrate source file and encode it with XviD, x265, x265 and whatever is the top AV1 codec at the same bitrate x resolution.

Not surprisingly, the biggest jump in quality will be from XviD to x264, but x265 does offer notable improvements.

I had a pretty decent self-hosted setup that was working locally. The whole project failed because I couldn’t set up a reverse proxy with nginx.

I am no pro, very far from it, but I am also somewhat Ok with linux and technical research. I just couldn’t get nginx and reverse proxies working and it wasn’t clear where to ask for help.

It’s not that commonly used these days (especially online?), I think the phrasing is a bit old school, but it’s a totally legitimate phrase.

183,200 TV episodes is pretty modest compared to alternative “non-approved” sources.

One datapoint is one source (that has a rule against any TV/show content released in the last 5 years) has a total number of 19.5K shows and TV movies/specials, with ~80 K releases. For many shows a single release can be a full season.

It’s fascinating that there has been zero (public?) response to their GPS jamming in the Baltic sea and now this.

With the russians you have to be able to show them that there are consequences; that you are able and willing to use a stern hand at the first sign of trouble. That you know what they are like and their lies will have no effect.

A real response would be to kick out the russians out of the ITU and similar standards organizations. And this needs to be done with a emphasis on speed, broad scope of execution and irreversibility.

If they don’t get the message, start blockading all land/air connections to occupied Königsberg, while looking for ways to making ship connections to Russia proper difficult.
