General purpose CPUs seem to have peaked - purpose built hardware is definitely on the rise. It worked well for GPUs (FPUs used to be external too) so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. Mainframe on the desktop!

They had 64 bit Carbon translation layer, but spiked it to force Adobe and some other large publishers to go native Intel. There was a furious uproar at the time, but it turned out to be the right decision.

I had an M1 Air early on and I didn't run into any issues. Even the issues with apps like Homebrew were resolved within 3-4 months of the M1 debut. It's amazing just how seamless such a major architectural transition it was and

iPods and Newton were entirely different chips and OS's. The first iPods weren't even on an OS that Apple created - they licensed it.

For me my M1 was fast enough that the first load didn't seem that different - and more importantly subsequent loads were lighting fast! It's astonishing how good Rosetta 2 is - utterly transparent and faster than my Intel Mac tha

Whenever there is a new subject I want to learn about, I find a support community for it and then start answering people's questions. In digging and pondering how to answer them, you are learning in a very practical and effective way.

He's spot on about the quality of clients for social feeds. Tweetbot is the only way I use Twitter. Cuts out all the algorithmic manipulation of my feed and has excellent controls to allow me to parse my feed and weed out the garbage

Don't forget the bribes to get a blue checkmark.

If twitter fraudulently verified something there is absolutely something you could do - you could sue. And it would be pretty clear cut. And all you can do on Mastodon is moderate your server - they can still be out there in the greater Ma

What's hilarious is they are mad *their* walled garden collapsed. Fleeing to a federated service isn't going to help them build a new walled garden - watching them figure that out has been very entertaining, to say the least.

>But if my organization sets up its own Mastodon instance I'm free to ignore what the larger Mastodon ecosystem is doing, if I want to. You have the same tools to block on Twitter. There is literally no difference.

Hardly everyone. Just a vocal minority. The vast majority of whom will be back on Twitter and paying the $8. Don't believe me? Let's just come back in six months and check.

And because it's federated, it will never work in any of the ways they are pissed off at Elon for changing in Twitter. You just can't make stuff like this up - it's amazing to watch!

It's still relevant to the core conflict. Some may not like it being stated out loud - that still doesn't make it any less relevant or true.

lol - the rules for verified Twitter users (remember Ethan has the coveted blue check) are very clear on renames. BECAUSE HE HAD THE BLUE CHECK him renaming his account has greater weight. The whole point of the blue check is to validate t

I don't see it as a problem at all. It's finally forcing people to be more active in what they consume, rather than passively choking down spoon-fed filtered crap.

Mastodon does have a reporting feature - but remember there are thousands of decentralized servers, all with their own rules. You might be able to find a server that will match your censorious desires and act on your reports - but you aren

I can't believe h3h3 was shocked someone actually enforced the rules on him. Also pretty hilarious seeing him complain over what he has celebrated against others many, many times over the past few years. What a whiner.

It's been hilarious watching people fleeing Twitter hop onto Mastodon and then try to report/ban people over there. The disconnect is amazing.

The solution to this is federalism - deconcentrated power at the state level - having one approach to lord over all - especially for a country as large and diverse as the US is asinine. The sooner we go back to federalism and neuter the fe
