Just checked. Still works.

Repair it, hack it, and turn it into a retro gaming console. You might need to solder a chip onto it for the hack to work if it’s a newer model, but it could be a fun side project.

My 2nd cake day was going to be a few days after shutdown :(

Lemm.ee was a fantastic instance, it will be greatly missed. Huge thanks to the admins and owner that made it happen for so long.

A shame the communities will be lost in the transition, the movies/television communities are genuinely cursed. This is the 4th or 5th time people moved that community.

I guess now would be a good time to give Piefed another shot. I love Lemmy and all, but new features have stalled for too long and I’m ready for some change.

So long, lemm.ee

If only it had a snapdragon 8 elite instead of a mediatek chip

I’ll probably slip on a banana peel right down the stairs

If anything I wish competition in the laptop space would be fiercer. We know Nvidia and AMD are making ARM chips but it might be a while, all we have now are Snapdragon and they aren’t very good.

DONT USE UNETBOOTIN. This tool more often than not breaks something and causes issues for people. Somebody I know used it and broke booting into Windows, he had to use a USB anyway to fix the bootloader.

LM Studio although i’ve never tried the linux version.

Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus, are exploring the possibility of developing versions of the Android operating system that do not rely on Google Mobile Services (GMS).

Clickbait title. They’re rumored to fork Android which will still just be Android without the Google suite.

FYI it fails to fetch votes if you don’t include https:// at the start.

Vintage Story, a Minecraft alternative that’s much more focused on survival and primitive technology. It’s sold only on its website.

That looks perfect, thanks for your work!

My biggest issue with Piefed is how much space the UI uses. Last I checked it didn’t have a “compact mode” like current Lemmy or Alexandrite. Browsing communities is also a bit awkward since it shows you so many topics without a way to sort or remove them.

Do your in-laws live in a skull-shaped mountain by any chance? Serious bond villain vibes here.

Jokes aside, the cave part looks really well made. Great designs.

This is exactly what I wanted. I might make the switch now.

Discord is a terrible format to manage large, complex communities and projects

Terrible how, though? That’s exactly what it gets right. You have easy-to-setup roles and channel accesses, onboarding experiences for people joining a larger server, a huge ecosystem of bots for various purposes, etc.

okay, it is bad for not being indexable, but it’s good at what it does and it’s popular for a reason.

Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.

Because there hasn’t been a single proper alternative until very recently, and even then they’re not as user friendly.

I’m personally using https://alexandrite.app/ , which you can use regardless of which instance you’re on.

Other people answered how it’s measured, but if you’re just shopping for a CPU I’d recommend skipping straight to benchmarks. There’s a lot of technical stuff involved but if you look at Geekbench/Passmark scores you can easily compare which ones are more powerful.

If you’re shopping for a laptop with a specific CPU I’d also look into how much power it uses (in Watts).

Bookwyrm does have a feature to fetch book data from OpenLibrary which is detailed enough. The problem last I checked is that the feature doesn’t replace data of already-existing books, so even if it exists in OL it won’t replace the empty listing in Bookwyrm.

If that feature worked properly or the admin of the instance would update to the newest database of OpenLibrary then it should work fine.
