Since it would as well require revealing information about other applications to a spooky third party. There&#39;s this tension where like, gnome wants to say &#34;no you&#39;re not allowed to use any third party replacements for gnome applications, which are privileged&#34;. The one I always get annoyed by is screenshots, but it&#39;s broadly a PITA. 2026-08-01T17:14:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst0j6r6arlvws20fjqk9z3ccgdmnz2uep48secmy9tk3mdzjq3v6szyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wkqnjt9e I feel like the tech folks recoiling from how much a small number of people mildly dislike them for buying into AI are going to be in for a treat if the ai memes manage to tank everyone&#39;s retirements. 2026-06-04T11:09:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrmdzchkne6qx4uu9qaj0d2j2wwhj44x8t89jdrhgemn6c2375q5szyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wkn3d9s6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdcge9ldng5xmez70tx5s8zv07xqat2vq9xrjd0sm007h02pc6dlq5cu90k'>nevent1q…u90k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>can you really call them scabs if they have no skin? 2026-06-02T11:18:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0wapct3y07d3nqa7pv4jruw0v5q2u5nqxwjnmsyhumf9f9ap4qpczyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wkuvre5f I have to admit it feels a bit sad to see (in C++, though Rust does the same) `std::simd` goes the `vec&lt;float, N&gt;` route. 2026-05-26T06:08:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspw64qc2hd3egsyk49atskju5s5wfhzzn0tgc2rrg0d2xeyuwua2czyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wkc7t0ra man it&#39;s one (terrible) thing to post trash blog articles that are llm generated but holy shit posting *comments* from an llm is absolutely fucking unhinged 2026-05-18T14:02:46Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0s0fygaa66r0fxx827cq02ff2n73lnpnhyfarvpc770c2dzstr9qzyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wk20ynvu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy0wyr4jcgveku3qfyy42uf5xclm6yvmx7zrtj2p0u06rrfemprls6h2qla'>nevent1q…2qla</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>genuinely hard to put into words how angry this makes me. what if we took the past decade or whatever of incel losers harassing developers across the industry whenever a woman character in a game isn&#39;t &#34;hot&#34; (read: servile) enough, and then have nvidia give them a &#34;bigger tits and ass&#34; plastic filter they can throw on top of everything. i wonder how good it is at making all the black characters white, i guess that&#39;s what the boffins at nvidia hq are working on now. good job fellas 2026-03-16T22:42:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy0wyr4jcgveku3qfyy42uf5xclm6yvmx7zrtj2p0u06rrfemprlszyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wkmesyqn Dlss5 is great news for the incel crowd, weird demographic for nvidia to be courting, but we&#39;ll see how it works out for them. 2026-03-16T21:42:39Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgjutlpluenx05f89acfcej73pzxw35t2gmnvm9w9rqtjgkgkp87szyqmruv60h8lpgfnkmdtrvsuuy024ju9hs473upp6laj3hta8yq9wkkjzjh5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxl5flu8mhkhx60hrdj8lgxt4xfwlk0v8yru7jhz6tnu0cj6s5g3gw9nk0r'>nevent1q…nk0r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>this isn&#39;t quite true, a struct has the alignment of the largest aligned member.

A Mac mini drawing 0.5W (this is the actual specs of the device, turning it off reduces this to 0.1W) in sleep mode isn&#39;t going to impact that.
