This only affects a fraction of games (those that have to process their shaders), and then only on first startup.

M2 drives as in an SSD connected to an M.2 slot? That's the way to connect SSD drives internally, so "get an SSD" basically means "connect an SSD drive to your M.2 slot". There's nothing like "M2 drives are even faster than SSDs".

Blink has a younger code base that’s easier to build on. Gecko has been around since the early 90s and has some ancient evils lurking deep within.

They both are of very similar age actually. The old Netscape rendering engine originated in the early 90s, but Gecko was a rewrite from scratch that was first used in a browser in 1998.
Blink is based on KHTML which is based on khtmlw, which was written at some point in the mid-90s, but as well saw a complete rewrite in 1999.

The article is funnier than the account. I also liked

The Yaccarino parody account lists xvideos.com in the link field, a reference to a porn site Gizmodo has obviously never heard of until now

Typically, social media companies have robust security departments that help you avoid obvious mistakes that create problems like someone impersonating your CEO. Unfortunately, Musk laid most of those people off shortly after buying the company.

Well, you are right that Microsoft never applied this large-scale, nor does it currently run any underwater datacenters. But project Natick anyway ran for over five years, with the first prototype having been deployed in 2015 and the last one recovered in 2020. So apparently not exactly the definitive future of Microsoft datacenters, but much more than a photo op.

Raleway is such a beautiful font when you look at samples of it, but boy is reading longer Raleway texts tiring!

It's absolutely horrendous for everyone who tries to read whatever is written in it, no matter if you are good at it or not.

Musk may be erratic in other things, but his preference for the letter X is a constant, just ask x.com (1999), SpaceX (2002), the Tesla Model X (2012) or X Æ A-12 (2020).

Yeah, an article with such a headline should be banned from all news-themed communities since 2016 at the very latest, when he proclaimed that autonomous driving is a solved problem.

I've been programming with lots of dumb people, and I'm particularly dumb myself, but if you really literally spend hours looking for missed semicolons, then you should give up programming no matter if this means more time for date nights or more time to look at the wall.

I thought he should be beat up and arrested?!?

Together with Greece, they were the first country to join after the 12 founding members - years before Germany and decades before Spain and the other half of the current NATO members.

There's this 2013 blog post about it, reacting to a reader wondering how the "!!1" even survived the 404 page redesign a couple of years earlier: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/05/error-404-not-found1.html

It didn't occur to me that you wanted to say "until", my response would have been much shorter otherwise ;).

Thanks for the pointer. This really looks much more pleasant than vanilla Lemmy, I'll have to keep an eye on that.

Since a month ago, before the blackout, he build kbin by himself

Per that link you gave, ernest started building kbin in January 2021, launched the first instance in September 2021 and started to work on kbin full-time in the end of 2023 (EDIT: 2022, of course; always refreshingly embarrassing to make mistakes when correcting others). Not directly mentioned in that link, but hinted by the graph there, the kbin.social instance launched in April, now close to three months ago.

That doesn't seem to work for kbin, does it?

As someone who professionally works in a project with many, many thousands of files (I don't know the exact number right now, but we're coming close to 10 million lines of code) and many of them having thousands of lines (see my other comment): No, longer files is not better than more files.

Not only resources for moderation, you would also have to pay the servers. When running multiple fediverse servers, and having some expectations in terms of availability and performance, costs sum up. Your funds are limited, and if they come from donations, those people did not donate for you to spend on additional, not directly project-related infrastructure, but to work on your actual projects.
