I remember commenting on an article related to that here so I went digging through my comment history and found this post about dolphin visual language: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3314056 Given that that was all t

The TLDR is that there isn't ONE new URL -- several locations for discussion have appeared, and this is still an issue. The article gives three examples specifically: - https://lemmyrs.org/ - https://lemmy.m

I hope they fix the bad Cloudflare configuration -- every non-local username and community is incorrectly displayed as "[email protected]" for me since they didn't turn off Cloudflare's idiotic email address obfuscation

I've never really gone looking for software like that, so I don't have any great suggestions for software that has everything you want integrated together already, but I did have a couple ideas reading your post. (1) There are fre

It's been a few months since we tried it -- so not fresh in my memory any more -- but as I recall, the biggest issue was with audio not working as expected. e.g. you could see people talking in the video feed, but not everyone could he

We tried using Google Meet for work meetings at my university. The experience SUCKED compared to Zoom. There were serious problems like taking 30 seconds to a minute for the screen share widget to popup after clicking the button in Firefox!

Has anyone tried pursuing a defamation lawsuit over systemic false spam labeling? Edit: or, alternatively, tried fighting this using anti-racketeering laws? The payment aspect sounds like a protection racket scheme to me...

No, I changed the setting back and forth while it was down to confirm that the issue was that I could not reach 1.0.0.1. All the entries I tried from my host file were responsive (which is how I ruled out an issue with my local equipment in

DNS absolutely was an issue. I changed DNS manually from Cloudflare's 1.0.0.1 (which is what DHCP was giving me) to 8.8.8.8 (Google) and most things I'm trying to reach work. There may be other failures going on as well, but 1.0.0

I assume they mean for scanline rendering where you trace two edges at a time while drawing the scanline between them. Basically, the way it works is that you arrange the 3 vertices of a triangle from top to bottom, then take the middle ver

I just looked up the restrictions for France specifically, and apparently they are set to expire on May 11 -- so that makes more sense. Where I am, most restrictions are still in place and going back to offices now seems ridiculously early,

If the brain is anything like computer hardware, the actual physical connectivity likely matters quite a bit. Consider what would happen if you randomly removed a single transistor on a CPU. Even though the transistors are very simple, virt

The short term solution is to turn your phone off. If plausible deniability is needed, just let the battery ran out. Long term, the proper solution is political rather than technical though.
