OCR of fonts used to be a solved problem, but now we have AI, which can sort of do it sometimes

I think it’s okay to not 100% know every little detail of how a system works, as long as it’s possible to find out what you need when you need it.

I don’t really get the hate for systemd. At least for someone who started really using Linux after it was introduced, it always seemed easier to control and manage than the init.d stuff.

Obviously it’s a hassle to migrate if you have a ton of legacy services, but it’s pretty nice.

I’d argue exposing and implementing all the APIs PS4 games expect to exist and in the way they expect them to behave is just as much emulation as translating CPU instructions.

My impression of emulation’s definition is that its purpose is to mimic the real thing as closely as possible vs something like simulation where it’s more to get an impression of the target system or mimic specific portions. I don’t think the architecture has to be different for something to be emulation.

8.1 used build numbers 9xxx (7 used 7xxx, 8 used 8xxx, and 10 started out using 10xxx), so you could argue it was technically Windows 9.

It’s true. Add scrolling of non-focused windows and it’s unbeatable.

I think that’s just a gradient that spans all bubbles

Sometimes they’re fun, sometimes friends play them and you want to join?

I don’t even want to use EGS on Windows. Steam may be clunky, but Epic is unusably slow.

So you would say they’re comparable then? Maybe even analogous?

Except when it is actually decimal

What

I think you’re overthinking this, and extrapolating limited data way too far.

For one, of course historically rich countries are going to be hosting more technology. Tech is expensive, and less developed countries are called that because they’re less developed, which includes electricity grids, internet, economic power, and so on.

Another issue is that just because a Mastodon server is hosted in a particular country, doesn’t mean only people in or from that country can make an account there. Sure, there are some servers that want to keep their communities specific to their local area, but the vast majority have no restrictions. Anyone from anywhere can sign up.

If you’re trying to figure out how to make it so historically poor countries have the most servers instead, you’re going to have to figure out how to fund and manage infrastructure expansion.

It feels like you’re coming at this with the assumption of “every country has the resources to spin up hundreds of social media servers, but they’re just not interested”, which is kind of a weird conclusion to come to after recognizing the historical impact of colonialism and the privilege differences it’s led to.

That’s what 106 fixes. It just may not have rolled out to you yet.

Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links.

I need to release an update to refresh the supported domains soon, but I made an app that does the work of maintaining the giant list of possible domains and helps you set it as the default for all of them.

Not every client is supported, but there are a few options.

I think you’re looking at your Sync for Reddit purchase there. Sync for Lemmy was released August 2.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the restore button, but it’s never worked for me.
