Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails
  • I remember easily getting gems for free. Also the streak basically doesn't matter at all. What made me uninstall is the slow pace. It felt like I was stuck on the same words and topics forever. It felt like I was not actually learning anything, which if you've ever started learning a language if a formal setting, is very apparent.

  • Your guide to moving away from Gmail and finding a new email service!
  • Every time I've looked into it, most advice I've gotten was that it's not a good idea.

  • Announcing iceoryx2 v0.6 | True Zero-Copy Inter-Prozess Communication
  • Thanks for the details! I have done MPI work in the past, so I was curious how an MPI implementation and iceoryx2 might be similar/different regarding local IPC transfers. It'd be interesting to do a detailed review of the two to see if they can benefit from each other.

  • Announcing iceoryx2 v0.6 | True Zero-Copy Inter-Prozess Communication
  • Can you explain on a high level how iceoryx2 is able to achieve low latency? Is it as simple as using shared memory or are there other tricks in the background? Are there different transfer methods depending on the payload size?

  • Homemade Pizza!
  • Guaranteed that several of the best pizzas you have eaten had oil and sugar, unless you've only ever eaten neapolitan.

  • What's your hot sauce of choice?
  • Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don't want to go into battle mode. Frank's come close. Surprised that I'm the only one mentioning Crystal.

    Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren't looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank's, etc.

  • Star Wars: Zero Company - Official Release Window Trailer - YouTube
  • For a second I thought this was going to be a "Bad Company" spinoff of Battlefront

  • Violence
  • Sure, it meets the technical requirements to be a comic. But it doesn't meet the practical requirements to be a good one.

  • Violence
  • Yeah but comics are also supposed to be creative. This is a essentially a lemmy comment with illustration.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • What are your metrics for "effective?" As someone who is both teaching and taking classes currently, I can tell you engagement is pitifully low in online formats. Education is not just about memorizing facts and going through the motions to get a good grade. There'd have to be some amazing innovation in online education practices to convince me it will be the default anytime soon.

  • Open Alpha Trailer | Splitgate 2
  • This genZ-bait soundtrack is making what looks like pretty cool gameplay look incredibly lame. Too many of these GaaS titles that inevitably enshittify use this same marketing to the point where it gives a Pavlovian signal to stay away.

  • Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight
  • I don't think I'm interested in an NVIDIA Shield since if I like the idea of running any Linux app in case I want to use it for another purpose in the future.

    An RPi could be a choice. I forgot that the 5s have hardware decoding. Assuming the 4GB model is suitable, then $60 + cost of a case isn't too bad. I assume the hardware decoding could keep up with 4k60?

  • Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight
  • No, I just was under the impression that Moonlight was the best solution

  • Cheap Hardware to Run Moonlight

    Anyone have recommendations for hardware to run Moonlight on a 4K TV? I want to play games on my PC, but I don't want to isolate myself in the office. I imagine a mini-PC would be more appropriate than something like a RPi, but does anyone have specific recs? I have never really bought a device like this. My laptop is not suited for the task so "use an old laptop" isn't a good rec for me really. And yes this relevant to linux since the server and client will be running linux. ;)

    A Trump Executive Order has paused federal payouts on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs and Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, including allocated funds.
  • I wonder if even some red states would stop paying as a result. I can't imagine Ohio and Pennsylvania being ecstatic about propping up the Mississipi, Alabama, etc. after California, Illinois, etc. stop footing the bill.

  • VIDEO: Why is Nintendo 64 emulation still a broken mess in 2025?
  • Just Mario 64. However there is a very good implementation of the N64 in the Mister FPGA project. The downside is there aren't many emulation features that you'd expect out of a software emulator (e.g. save states)

  • Best non-coke alternative to coke zero?
  • I guess to be fair, there are some local places around me that make sodas, which probably are reasonable ethical businesses. Depending on how many bourbon colas you're drinking, it might be worth paying extra for an locally made soda if possible. If you don't have someone that makes soda locally (which is probably likely), maybe consider buying from "gourmet soda" brands like Hank's.

  • Why are American universities so expensive?
  • Administrative bloat. At my university, if my lab lands a grant, 60% goes to the university and only 40% is used for actual research. There's a long chain of people whose jobs are to answer emails, and they all need to be paid.

  • Best non-coke alternative to coke zero?
  • Almost all soda is produced by a corporation run by psychopaths. Your best bet is to stop drinking soda.

  • Looking for application to do very simple 2D animation

    I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I'm looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was by using PowerPoint. However, is there an FOSS alternative I could use? I would probably need to also export the animation into a gif or some other platform agnostic format. Bonus points for something that can use the images I draw in Inkscape.

    Temperature drop with pourover

    I'm using a Fellow Stag and a metal V60 with a fabric filter. I do a 1:16 ratio (16g of coffee and 256g of water). Generally I'll place the V60 on the Stag while it brings the water up to a boil in order to heat it up. Then I'll saturate the fabric filter with the hot water. I'll use 212F water, but after pouring the water over the grounds, my instant read thermometer will read 195F. It seems weird that despite doing everything in my power to preheat all the equipment, the water drops a lot in temperature as soon as it hits the grounds. Any tips to tackle this problem?
