Your body language can indicate you’re formulating a response, which makes people less impatient.

On a call there’s no body language so if you don’t say anything for a bit people get annoyed.

It’s actually really nice given the fps without framegen is playable.

I found it to have a positive impact for heavy titles that run around 40fps without it.

Anything below 30 gives this weird stutter

No, they’re not, but Google won’t get them (unless, as you state, they use google’s messaging app) Less Google, more better, in my opinion.

MMS hasn’t been a thing at my provider for years now, so want to send me an image? Use Signal or whatsapp (begrudgingly). I already rarely receive or send SMS, so not enabling RCS isn’t a big loss for me, I don’t get added to Google’s statistics (which they are so very proud off), and I won’t really miss any of its features.

IIRC, Apple implemented the original spec for RCS too, so none of the Google features like e2e will even work.

I’m disabling that shit day 1, I don’t need my messages sent over Google servers - not even if they were encrypted.

I don’t even know why telecoms in Europe even bothered, and neither do they. (I asked the RCS lead at one of them, and they agreed it was kind of pointless with signal, whatsapp, …. existing)

Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

IIRC MySql inherits that behaviour when running on windows (or at least older versions do)

That was a real fun time when switching OS

I looked into distros using plasma 6 for a bit, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It’s also a not trivial boot setup (dual boot with w11 and bitlocker + LUKS + secureboot) and the (k)ubuntu installer just handled it flawlessly (meaning not having to enter my bitlocker key on every boot)

Works fine for me (except some weird locale issue, but I knew that in advance)

Those are so legit sounding I didn’t even realise until the second part of your comment those weren’t real.

Granted, I just slap kubuntu on everything because I’m used to managing ubuntu servers and like kde, so my distro knowledge is limited, but still

I’m curious - if you want to listen high quality audio, why not get an actual audio player for that? Surely the DAC in some random android phone can’t be that good?

Also, the 1TB version is really only meant so they are actually somewhat usable for recording proRes or taking pictures in RAW

iDEAL sounds a lot like Bancontact/Payconic in Belgium.

Which doesn’t do everything Paypal does either. Others have mentioned the buyer protection, but there’s also multiple payment methods you can link to it, subscription management, and one-click payments (where it also enters your address for shipping) - and crucially: available worldwide.

.eu and your local tld are often quite a bit cheaper too!

Pretty much - I’m too stupid to write my own mouse drivers for the mouse I use so all the buttons work 😎

Pretty sure the gpu BIOS is limited by default, nothing the OS can do about that.

Same for other parts like the cpu - core voltage is determined by the motherboard.

I doubt the os can just go “2V vcore” and blow up hardware.

I’ve been to the US exactly once in my life, and I clogged the toilet at the hotel I stayed at. Never had it at home.

Probably just coincidence, but hey

Literally

Wireguard (which is what tailscale is built on) doesn’t even require you to open ports on both sides.

Set up wireguard on a vps first, where it is accessible, then set it up from within your network. It’ll traverse NAT and everything, and you don’t have to open a port on your network.

Tailscale is the exact same thing, just easier because it does everything for you (key generation, routing, …). Their service replaces your vps, up to you if you think that’s acceptable or not. IMHO, wireguard is worth learning at least. I eventually (partially) switched to tailscale because I’m lazy, and all services I host have authentication anyway, with vpn just being a second layer.

Maybe technically, but in reality there’s just very few “good” tablets when it comes to hardware. Samsung has a few, but the rest’s just plastic trash.

No proper hardware, no sales, no tablet android users, no android apps for tablets.

I don’t see how this would fix that.

How? The sublinks devs started the project just because they didn’t want to work on Lemmy for whatever reason. If they did, they would have worked on Lemmy. It’s either Lemmy AND Sublinks, or Just Lemmy with the same developers.

Having multiple implementations is a good thing, regardless of what language they use. They all implement the same protocol, should be (mostly) compatible, and can learn from (and compete with) each other.

Look at other OSS. There’s so many Linux distributions, Why doesn’t everyone just work on a single one?

Because everyone has a slightly different view on things. This makes the OSS community stronger.

I have seen people wanting to do Java, and while I personally prefer rust, I do see why.

Outside of the entire Sublinks discussion, it’s important to note that Java is not just Java anymore either. Kotlin offers many of the same advantages syntax-wise that Rust does (including the lack of null), and has access to Java’s excellent ecosystem.

Ultimately, it is up to people to decide what they want to use. Regarding of your opinions on Java or Rust, it is a valid choice either way for this type of software. It’s a personal choice.

I’ve never really seen this in (Java/Rust/PHP) backend personally, only in client-side JS (the CORS preflight).

It’s a security feature for browsers doing calls (checking the CORS headers before actually calling the endpoint), but for backends the only place it makes sense is if you’re implementing something like webhooks, to validate the (user submitted) endpoint.
