bluefirex,

That will stop working way sooner than you’d like. Freezing a browser isn’t tenable at all, not just for features websites are expecting but also security issues. There’s a reason every browser except Safari has a 6 weeks release cycle.

bluefirex,

Some people need a high-five. With a billiard table. In the face.

bluefirex,

You got a new watch but they refurbished your old one and sold it again. They just do it that way with watches because it’s way faster for the customer.

bluefirex,

RAM usage is RAM usage, and besides the allocation still being awful and you probably having less RAM available in a heavy task, this means substantial power consumption, that costs money.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Even if it’s just the OS keeping apps on memory for faster launches. If you do need heavy RAM for a task your OS is clever enough to reshuffle things.

Used RAM does use more electricity but that is so neglible it’s a non-issue and no argument.

Of my 32 GB at least 26 GB are constantly in use.

bluefirex,

While I don’t agree with what Google does, they want to remove third-party cookies entirely next year. So it’s indeed a replacement, not supplemental.

bluefirex,

SF-UR, K-DST (GTA SA), SoulwaxFM and LSUR (GTA 5) will always be my go to 👌

bluefirex,

I still have it from time to time that Windows has to install a driver for something benign like a thumb drive. Not always, though. And yes, the driver is fixed to the physical port. Using a different port reinstalls the same driver again.

Experienced this exact behavior on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11.

bluefirex,

Webkit is an incredibly complex and rich engine for rendering web content. That kind of content comes in so many uncountable varieties that still need to work correctly. Easy example, this is equivalent:

<b><i>test</i></b>

<b><i>test</i></b> (imagine the last I and b being switched, Lemmy won’t let me do it)

Even though it shouldn’t but there’s enough idiots doing this so the browser supports it.

Now imagine, on top of that there’s also a huge engine interpreting runnable code (Javascript). Any runnable code is inherently unsafe so it has to be sandboxed. That’s where the vulnerabilities come into play. There are so many ways to break a sandbox and it’s impossible to 100% find every single one.

Regarding experimental Features: These are for developers to verify their stuff works with upcoming features. If you don’t want that, just don’t use that. That simple.

bluefirex,

Definitely not. Some examples (actual prices I pay for my various domains):

  • com: $18/y (gTLD)
  • net: $19/y (gTLD)
  • de: ~$5/y (ccTLD)
  • re: ~$5/y (ccTLD)
  • design: $49/y
  • tech: $55/y
  • blue: $23/y
bluefirex,

My data just serves as a counter point to the argument “new domains are always cheaper”. Of course it depends on the domain and how greedy a particular NIC is to create a text file on a server.

bluefirex,

My setup is extremely simple 😅

  • A Synology DS218play (5 years old at this point)
  • 2x6 TB Western Digital Red in RAID1
  • Plex package from plex.tv, installed through Synology Package Center
  • an Apple TV 4K as a client

Runs smooth up to 4K SDR but HDR is too much for it. Mainly using to watch recorded media.

bluefirex,

My cat was diabetic. Had to give her insulin shots but she absolutely managed that extremely well. She understood it improves her condition and was happy to follow instructions. After leaving out the dry food she recovered and doesn’t need insulin anymore. However, as a result of the diabetes she now can’t process sugar or wheat at all. She’ll vomit that right out. Luckily, the cheapest brands at the supermarket don’t use either of those in their wet food, only the expensive brands. Go figure.

bluefirex,

No you’re correct. Android does run a JVM, just not Oracle’s. That has always been the case. Back in the day it was Dalvik, nowadays it’s ART.

bluefirex,

Finally some sane voice. People don’t seem to think 2cm in front of their nose.

bluefirex,

Anything that is Facebook/Meta is in its own container for me. That way they can “track” as much as they want, they won’t see new or even accurate Info.

bluefirex,

Just like with Threads, this is post number 2920 saying the exact same thing over and over again and bitching about someone having fun. I really hate these coordinated attacks here.

bluefirex,

Not to discredit your experience but I don’t find long pressing the image (or whatever other content), then pressing share and whatever app you want to share with hard to find or remember.

bluefirex,

Na der Hamburger ist maximal 15.

bluefirex,

Unfortunately Memmy doesn’t support it (yet) but Voyager does :)

bluefirex,

They’re removing free coins and awards to replace it with something new they’ll announce later.

bluefirex,

Post number 3.492 complaining about Threads

bluefirex,

This behavior is why the fediverse alienate users and makes it hostile for new people to join.

They didn’t do anything, yet. Give them the chance but start with 2 strikes on their account already. They fuck up, THEN you defederate. Innocent until proven otherwise.

Edit: go on, downvote me. Show me your face. Show me how you’re all against growth on Lemmy and niceness to each other.

bluefirex,

They don’t get more data because they’re federated. They literally the exact same amount of data as they do know just by scraping mastodon or Lemmy. They’re an even player in this market. Somehow you all keep forgetting that. If you don’t want meta do have data from activity pub, you being here already violates that ideal.

bluefirex,

There is nothing they can do to fuck up your experience, ESPECIALLY on Lemmy though. Threads is a completely different concept from Lemmy and activity pub is well defined.

The only thing they could do is just not moderate threads and therefore putting spam in everyone’s feeds. That’s about it. I don’t think they’re leaving that unmoderated.

bluefirex,

You’re not an idiot. Nobody expects three-year-old posts between ones created 5 minutes ago. The sorting algorithm here on Lemmy is absolute dogshit.
