perhaps, but you still get feature fragmentation… things like custom emojis, stickers, what video codecs to support (heck i reckon they’d probably focus on chat first and video would only be available within the same app until some organisation effort happened), etc

you can see that a little bit on lemmy with the difference in how blocks work on lemmy vs piefed… piefed blocks on lemmy look like a shadow ban because lemmy doesn’t support the error style piefed uses… i think that’d it anyway

point being: just because software can exchange data and have the same problem domain and even in many cases use the same basic terminology, there can still be plenty of more advanced features that aren’t interoperable

re matrix, it can talk to anything… kinda… the matrix protocol has the idea of “bridges” built into it, so they should be able to translate between your client talking to the server via matrix protocol, and other things like XMPP, IRC, etc (at least in theory)

in australia we have no photo ID… you register to vote exactly once (usually done in high school and they walk you through it - at least that was my experience), and then you just show up… your name is on a list, and they cross you off

wreaks of “fuck you got mine”… so an invasive AI scan has scanned your content and deemed you 18+… gross

but

now a new user joins. they don’t have that history of interaction, so what are they meant to do?

i mean, i’ve heard phone screens are legitimately horrendous for hygiene, which i wouldn’t be surprised by (no real evidence provided)

action cameras are made to be tough, mountable on your body, and are just dumb(ish) cameras

so… whistleblower

… that’s called a leak mate

i wouldn’t even say mac hardware is prohibitively expensive these days given how damn long it lasts

i can count on 1 hand the number of laptops i’ve used as my primary device for > 2 years and they’re all macs… current is going on 5 years and is only now looking like i might need a spec bump in the next 2

it’s absolutely true actually… whatsapp are the key holders and there was a leak a few weeks ago that showed meta staff can access anyone’s messages: they just need to raise a ticket and they get access to an app that allows them to pull up any user the like

i think since bamboo entered the market everything changed and the entire industry kinda went warp speed :p

i’ve had a few printers, but until i got a bamboo i was “excited by the possibilities” more than actually doing things

now im printing loads, and have been since i got the printer a couple of years ago

detail resolution is amazing on 3d printers these days to!

the arachne wall generator is incredible for resolving fine details in things like text

Arachne settings allow the extruder to adjust its extrusion rate based on the model’s line width. This way, the extrusion rates change according to the model’s requirements, resulting in precise printing of the model’s varying shape.

You can choose this setting if you want to print thin features with more delicacy, and your print needs a smooth transition between wall counts.

yeah it’s a very common feature among slicers these days

if it’s not multicolour then you can just make the printer leave indents for the letters (or print extra material to have it raised)

no need for post processing or extra equipment which slows down the process and adds extra work

i think the latest is that china has managed to create a GPU that’s ~7 years behind. i’m not sure that’s “a GPU from 7 years ago” or “it will take them 7 years, acknowledging that there’s a known path so will take less time”

AFAIK they’ll have to figure out EUV or some other method of lithography at that scale, which they’re trying really hard at but it’s one heck of a difficult thing to do which is why only TSMC currently actually has it working

given the complexity of doing in hardware, and the simplicity of doing it software, you’d hope yes (in which case perhaps there will be firmware hacks) but you can never truly count out the stupidity of hardware companies

new ones sure but there are a bunch of these broken machines out there now: far more than there otherwise would be, because microslop forced the upgrade for windows 11

well that’s what they should have done but now that it’s implemented there are a lot more parties that need to come to the table to fix the mess… some hardware might not be able to fix the mess, but i’d be surprised if this shit show were implemented on hardware rather than firmware

well see when you’re too lazy to design a schema and just want to throw broken data into a black hole where you may or may not be able to retrieve it and deal with the repercussions in production - or better yet let the ops team handle it at 3am - then that’s when you’d choose mongodb

i’m not a member of a church, i’m very atheist, but also i kinda put churches around the same place as sports clubs… they’re largely non-profit entities that exist for the benefit of members… kinda like a co-op too

i think given that - ie their mission isn’t based around making money, but providing free services - it’s fair to put them on the same level as other membership-based orgs

all of these orgs have a “not for me” crowd, but just because it’s not for you doesn’t mean that they don’t provide services to their members in the same way that sports clubs, maker spaces, car clubs, youth clubs, etc all provide things and shouldn’t be taxed in addition to the income tax that their members already pay

Maybe fix the way taxes are spent and I’ll support

not the way taxes work mate

don’t want to see the money people give out of their sense of faithfulness to be used to pay for

why does faith give them an exemption from participation in civilised society?

i’d love for tickets to various pride events not to be taxed, but they are… so why do i pay tax for participating in my culture and “faith” is exempt?

taxes largely only apply to profits, so if you’re being an actual charitable organisation, you won’t have too many profits and thus not a large tax burden… right?

yall already have 501c7 which is membership organisations like sports clubs
