Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What technologies were ubiquitous ten years ago and are much less common now?

The key is to buy enough different pieces of furniture that you wind up with a separate set.

2·18 days agoThat’s clearly Evita Bezuidenhout.
They don’t in general, but things that do heavily detailed graphics work (like your compositor or browser) or lots of cryptography work on the CPU can get a bit more out of those newer instructions than many other programs.
Very approximately, things that Gentoo offers prebuilt versions of because compiling them is so resource intensive are often the things that can get the best benefit out of your architecture variant. (Not singling out Gentoo here as an example of “doing it badly” - they do the sensible thing by providing these prebuilt binaries, but in some ways it defeats the purpose of optimised source distributions.)
It’s a Hard Problem™ to solve.

Funny@sh.itjust.works•Come help me get the groceries out of the car
5·21 days agoIf you’re doing this intentionally or if your dialect has this different I’d love to know (I love learning about different dialects of English), but as far as i’m aware I think you mean “slippers.”
In my dialect at least…

Look I don’t have heat in the winter so I compile Firefox for various processors to keep my bedroom warm okay?
The irony is that big things like Firefox can get the most advantages from building for your specific CPU variant, especially if you use them frequently.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are people using the "þ" character?

I can multitask. Get called slurs while I’m working and make an extra $1000/day.
I hate that restaurants will give me (non bendy) straws even when I specifically ask to not get a straw.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume timesEnglish
2·25 days agoI don’t know what’s worse: the fact that nobody at Microsoft registered that short URL for the lulz or the resulting destination for short URLs that don’t get found.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?
13·30 days agoMy very specific niche in programming.
If you ask me about some very common things, I have no clue. JavaScript? More like JavaShit amirite? But if someone can explain OCI layers, describe the boot process of a RISC-V device as it leads U-boot and a Linux kernel, and talk about performance optimisations in modern Python… Well, my team is looking for more developers and this combination of skills seems impossible to find.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to go and take a nice long bath.
