What winter? The Quest is the problem with its locked down ecosystem.

Sadly the Steam Frame will be likely too expensive to get much traction outside the enthusiast space, but it will keep VR alive, unlike the shit that Meta is up to.

Despite what some other people falsely claim here in the comments, scraping is actually not the same at all as federation. Besides not being reciprocal, scraping puts considerably higher load on the server to the point where it brings down entire servers or at least severely degrades the performance for legitimate users.

Opensense is based on BSD, which has a single threaded network stack. This means that low end CPUs can struggle to do >1gbit throughputs. Depending on your WAN this could be an issue.

On the German Wikipedia at least there are too many Blockwarte that delete new pages as not relevant almost immediatly, so I gave up trying to contribute there.

Why would I follow a feed of what appears to be made of pictures that are mostly AI slop?

There is apparently an incredible amount of manipulation and legal fights happening around these reviews on Google maps, so that is probably a minefield any independent open-source developer should avoid.

Sure, but the point of getting a mini-pc is usually not that you have an open case with a second ATX PSU sitting on top to power some extra hardrives.

How will you power the drives?

And from what I have heard, these m2 to SATA adapters have over-heating issues.

You mean “mid” as in midi-tower? Because that sounds like the large version. Well maybe there is an even larger workstation version or so, but the normal medium sized Optiplex comes with one 3.5" SATA bay and one DVD drive.

Optiplex etc. with an Intel 8th gen “T” chips seem to offer the best bang for the buck + energy efficiency on the second hand market right now.

The main issue with these thin clients is the lack of SATA ports and power connections for them if you want to add some larger 2.5” SSD/HDD storage. Usually it is only one, but you can also use the DVD drive slot with an adapter in the mid sized versions.

That’s for instances, not accounts, no?

What is probably needed is a 3rd party vouching account system. A bit like how email accounts are used today, but with a back-channel that allow you to get reputation from the places you join with that account and that in turn makes it easier to join other places.

The 80% LLM applications doesn’t seem to have reached Lemmy yet. For us it is more like 10% or so. But yeah, it is getting harder to distinguish these.

After splitting with Valve, they tried the exact same strategy (as Facebook) of locking their headsets to their own store. Obviously they failed against someone with deeper pockets, but it was really their own fault 🤷

Movement wise not a very realistic simulation of actual scuba diving, but it looks nice.

The specific chip is only 4 years or so old. The 10 years refers to the Ryzen series first release.

Why this specific chip? It is the fastest available for the older AM4 socket + DDR4 combination, so it is highly sought after by people upgrading their older rig without having to buy new expensive DDR5 RAM or a new mainboard.

There used to be a women’s space on slrpnk.net (although a bit unfortunately named after a controversial Reddit community), but we could never really find women willing to moderate it longer term and the amount of dudes showing up with trollish comments became a bit too much for us admins to handle.

Thanks for sharing the details 👍

No, “alkalinity” is confusingly another term for water hardness or buffer capacity in English (for historical reasons I guess?).

Almost all of it, but not even explaining (or understanding?) what stable coins actually are is the icing on the BS cake.
