Lemmy is like many tiny Reddits called instances. You barely realise you switch from one to another while browsing happily expect for “instance nationalism”. It is smaller but more humane. That’s about all you need to start.

This should be the text on join-lemmy.org

I measure battery capacity and electricity consumption in J/kJ/MJ, as intended. None of that kWh bullshit.

It also makes for fun comparison with energy value of foods.

Energy is energy, after all.

64 MB RAM and 3D graphics? That’s more than most of us can afford nowadays!

In Russia it’s kinda the inverse. Like 80% of the books I’ve read in middle/high school I’ve re-read as an adult, most of them were still really interesting even on the second read.

Your labor, of course.

Operator overloading is awesome in a functional language. Haskell allows for a lot of creative stuff with operators, but since they can’t have side effects, must conform to predictable types, and have specific requirements they are somewhat understandable. Idris is also very ergonomic when it comes to operators.

C++ allowing a library to override the + operator with system("rm -rf /") is a lot less awesome.

They could donate the food to a food bank and be completely shielded from liability by Good Samaritan Act

They don’t want to because it means that poor people can eat for free (gasp) which might slightly impact the restaurant industry and indirectly reduce their profit margin by 0.1%

I have never bought and will never buy an apple thing (because it’s a super-enshittified walled garden), but honestly I’m just fine with 60Hz. My phone supports 120Hz and I have switched it back to 60Hz because it gives me a couple extra hours of battery. I can tell the difference but it doesn’t bother me one bit. I’d even be OK with 30Hz if it was an option and had a significant battery life advantage.

Maybe having all the animations in the OS and apps turned off helps keep it not noticeable.

Whatever is the standard going forward, I hope that there’s always an option to cut back the refresh rate in exchange for battery life, either at the time of purchase or in the settings.

There’s usually nothing wrong with just clicking a link (if your browser is set up correctly). The problem begins if you actually enter any sort of information in a random website or something.

I wouldn’t trust unreviewed LLM output to be executed on my laptop, what you’re proposing would definitely end the human civilization. See also: all the funny times when someone piped OpenClaw into a prod environment root shell and it wipes the drive within a couple days. LLMs can’t think, they are not smart, they are just a very advanced autocomplete. A useful tool for many situations, but its output needs careful human verification.
