  • Evernote Lays Off Most of Staff, Triggering Fears of Closure

  • If you prefer markdown and don't need a massive set of features, I highly recommend notable.

  • Red Dawn

  • Everyone else 2023: Lol the Russians

  • Titan sub: What happens next after sounds detected in search

  • I'd imagine you can triangulate the sound with an array of sonar buoys if it is on the same ocean layer?

    Edit: commented before reading the article. That's exactly what they're planning. 🤦‍♂️

  • Interesting read of a former passenger aboard the missing sub, Titan.

  • I seriously can't believe they don't have at least an EPIRB. If they had one, the entire "they might be on the surface" idea could pretty much be ruled out.

  • A starting guide to kbin.social + support thread for new users

  • Are you on mobile by chance? It happens to me too, but only on mobile. I noticed it worked as expected when I was on desktop earlier today.

  • A starting guide to kbin.social + support thread for new users

  • Finally I know how to make a text (article) post! Thank you!

  • EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!

  • I might be in the minority here, but I feel this is actually a step back.

    In the 5 years I've had my phone, there have been two times I've ever really needed to pull the battery, and still the hard reset sequence still eventually worked in both cases.

    Anyone remember how some phones had issues with the battery door becoming somewhat loose over time, causing any slight bump to turn the phone off? Many have already commented on how they explode into multiple pieces when dropped. Traditionally the battery covers are incredibly flimsy plastic, even on flagship devices (cough Samsung). Waterproofing is a common concern too, however it actually can be done with a removable battery (e.g. Galaxy S5).

    What really needed to be addressed here was how cumbersome it is to get into these devices to replace the battery, and how often people are price gouged to replace them. I believe this could have been better written to allow for either a removable battery, or a standardized and affordable built-in battery replacement process.

  • Yeesh I hope not.

  • Update from Lemmy (devs) after the Reddit blackout

  • Yeah, I'm probably going to bite the bullet and start working on Kbin too. I've avoided PHP for my entire career just by chance, so all I know are the memes and what I've read of (usually older) codebases. From what everyone says, modern PHP isn't really that bad, and from what I can tell when perusing the Kbin source, the implementation is pretty clean.

  • Update from Lemmy (devs) after the Reddit blackout

  • This exactly. I'm a software engineer and I'm itching to contribute to one of these systems, but I do not agree with some of the stuff I've seen posted by one of the developers of Lemmy. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth about the whole thing.

  • [Discussion] Favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck

  • Couch gaming is key for me too. There are a lot of PC-only titles that interest me but don't compel me to sit at a computer to play. Being able to just tinker around in these games while watching TV is amazing. A great example of one of these types of games is Beam.ng Drive.

  • Is Tildes a fediverse instance? I swear I read that they are, but I don't seem to see them federating.

  • @burgersc12 interesting, I must have crossed wires during all the shuffling. Thanks!

  • The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

  • Does this only show if there is a known delay for all federated content, or is it a default warning that will always show?

  • kbin now accessible from lemmy instances?

  • One of the things I'm really enjoying about this jump to the fediverse is watching everyone try things to get a better understanding. Gives me first telephone call vibes. Lots of "does this work?" "HEY it does work!"

  • Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck?

  • You're entirely correct, I was just commenting that Rust is also very memory safe in response to the first statement. As much as Rust interests me, I'm also in agreement that the problem it solves as a language isn't really a concern with modern web development.

  • Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck?

  • These are garbage collected languages and come with the overhead of such a process. Rust has no GC process and instead relies on reference counters to statically track live memory.

  • It was confusing at first

  • That's interesting. What happens if a lemmy user replies to a beehaw user's comment from a lemmy instance? Does the beehaw user just never see it?

  • SSD is the new minimum requirement for games, according to the creators of Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077

  • This makes sense. The only thing I put spinning disk storage in anymore are large storage arrays where part of the overall goal is to keep the disks cheap.

    As someone who never used Twitter, it seems like microblogs are like comments from a thread but the parent thread doesn't exist and each top level comment is its own topic? Perhaps a roundabout way of

  • YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content

  • Wow this is neat!

    How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn't apparent that it's federated content.
