Pixelfed Server Directory 2.0 is here!
  • Please add search by capabilities, such as heic :-)

  • Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!
  • I ended up having to install a CalDAV client on my other people's Android phone.

  • Donut Lab and the electric motors everyone has been talking about
  • That is what they say in the article.

  • Trump threatens to launch tariff attack on EU tech regulation
  • French people only watch French-speaking content, and I find dubbed content awful. I think it would greatly benefit them to redirect resources into local contents.

  • Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
  • Sadly yes. It's included by default in Apple devices and there are talks to bring it back with a Rust implementations. I think Google walked back a bit from their standard setting bullying practice with the antitrust lawsuits / threats of getting broken up. No idea if that will continue with the Musk administration.

  • Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
  • Yes. JPEG is limited to 8-bit (which works well with rec.709/sRGB) and modern displays and cameras capture much more than that (typically 14).

    sRGB has a very limited color gamut, and using a wider/HDR color profile (eg rec.2020) with only 8-bit per subpixel would result in colour banding.

    I don't want to limit my photo development with poor color definition.

    Thanks for the links (I'm already subscribed).

    Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

    Bedtime Procrastination
  • Here are a few ways to prevent bedtime procrastination:

    Turning off electronic devices at least one hour before bed. In a darker environment, humans produce the sleep hormone melatonin. Therefore, people should limit the light they receive before going to sleep.[15]
    Taking a hot shower or bath to reduce stresses.[15]
    Writing down thoughts, feelings, and experiences that stood out throughout the day.[15]
    Maintaining a regular wake-up time and bedtime, including on non-working days.[2]
    Setting a bedtime routine.
    Snacking on nuts, seeds, and pulses, which are sources of the amino acid tryptophan, which helps produce melatonin.[15]
    Avoiding alcohol or caffeine late in the afternoon or evening.[2]
    Taking melatonin supplements (but exercise caution[33])
    Managing one's time by doing things early in the day to avoid staying late and losing essential sleep time.[6]
    Taking Vitamin D and magnesium supplements that may help induce sleep.[15]
    Setting boundaries at work.
    Reducing internet use.[34]
    Practicing time management and priority-setting skills.[35]
    Using a method called mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII).[36]
    
  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests
  • Not everyone can afford a tutor or knows where to find an expert that can answer questions in any given domain. I think such a tool would have made understanding a lot of my college courses a lot easier.

  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests
  • The title is pretty misleading. Kids who used ChatGPT to get hints/explanations rather than outright getting the answers did as well as those who had no access to ChatGPT. They probably had a much easier time studying/understanding with it so it's a win for LLMs as a teaching tool imo.

  • Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse
  • I'm still replacing switches on my stupid Logitech MX (faulty design that's been going for many years) but once it's dead for good I will switch over to the Ploopy thumb trackball in a heartbeat.
