    Thank you so much for posting these. This comic has been the highlight of my mornings these last few months. Can't wait to see what campaign is next :)

  • Why does Linux run so well on ARM

    Apple designed the silicon to have an "x86 mode" for the memory model ordering, as well as an undocumented mode that makes certain arm instructions set flags similarly to x86. There's a good write up of the reasons here: https://dougallj.wordpress.com/2022/11/09/why-is-rosetta-2-fast/

    Yaml is fine until you want to abbreviate Norway and get false... toml doesn't handle everything well but at least it doesn't have insane problems like that.

    The paradox of lactose intolerance is that, if everyone is tolerant of lactose intolerance, eventually we'll all be lactose intolerant after drinking only lactaid

  • Why is the sidebar image 1080p?

    I'm pretty sure it already generates thumbnails for the posts, so they may be able to reuse that code for the sidebar. Or @Ruud could just point it at a smaller image. One of these choices is much easier than the other :)

  • The sidebar image on the homepage, https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/913f672f-5d9a-48b5-af28-1a8fbb4f7bc7.jpeg?format=webp, is a 1MB 1080p jpeg that gets loaded every time I open the homepage (at least without caching). Wouldn't it improve both bandwidth use and page load speeds to rescale that image to the smaller size it is actually rendered at?

    Reddit hackers threaten to leak data.

    They breached the data back in February and were waiting for the IPO... I guess this is a better use of the leverage, although there's no chance it goes anywhere

    I've been using Photoshop for like a decade and have at various times tried using Gimp as well to see if the free competition is better. Pretty much every time I'm struck with how many features it is lacking and how bad the performance is... it was getting less than 10 fps just trying to edit a regular sized image. I'm sure with years of experience I could become good enough at gimp to handle the same tasks as Photoshop but the learning curve is so steep just to learn a program that nobody else I'm collaborating with is using.

    In my opinion, the real Photoshop competition is something like Affinity photo/designer-- no subscription fee, great support, and UX that is actually nice.

  • Is there a sublemmy for asbestos memes yet? I need to have somewhere to see 100 copies of the same joke but with slightly different context on this new platform.
