Is there really not a single answer saying “I would rather not make everybody’s lives more inconvenient just because I could”?


They cut the size down to 30 MB on iOS in 2019, but they’re back to 110 since (on Android, it’s 60 MB).

EDIT: In terms of updates, they are pretty stable at one update a week on both systems.


If there would be the kind of budget you’re talking about, they’d just buy a house, or rather three (one to live in, two to rent out, to re-finance the other one) and that whole question would be obsolete.


When you were deciding for this processor, Intel’s similarly priced i5s were no match for it, so if you were looking for Intels as well, you likely would have had an eye on the i7 processors of that time (for a minor performance benefit at a heavy price tag). So maybe that is where your 7 is coming from.


but is a given that the more expensive the wedding is, the shorter the marriage might be.

So have a dead cheap wedding and the marriage will last forever?


What will people do? Sue him to provide the promised legal funds they need to sue their employers?


Blink has a younger code base that’s easier to build on. Gecko has been around since the early 90s and has some ancient evils lurking deep within.

They both are of very similar age actually. The old Netscape rendering engine originated in the early 90s, but Gecko was a rewrite from scratch that was first used in a browser in 1998.
Blink is based on KHTML which is based on khtmlw, which was written at some point in the mid-90s, but as well saw a complete rewrite in 1999.


Well, you are right that Microsoft never applied this large-scale, nor does it currently run any underwater datacenters. But project Natick anyway ran for over five years, with the first prototype having been deployed in 2015 and the last one recovered in 2020. So apparently not exactly the definitive future of Microsoft datacenters, but much more than a photo op.

It didn’t occur to me that you wanted to say “until”, my response would have been much shorter otherwise ;).


Thanks for the pointer. This really looks much more pleasant than vanilla Lemmy, I’ll have to keep an eye on that.


Since a month ago, before the blackout, he build kbin by himself

Per that link you gave, ernest started building kbin in January 2021, launched the first instance in September 2021 and started to work on kbin full-time in the end of 2023. Not directly mentioned in that link, but hinted by the graph there, the kbin.social instance launched in April, now close to three months ago.


That doesn’t seem to work for kbin, does it?


Not only resources for moderation, you would also have to pay the servers. When running multiple fediverse servers, and having some expectations in terms of availability and performance, costs sum up. Your funds are limited, and if they come from donations, those people did not donate for you to spend on additional, not directly project-related infrastructure, but to work on your actual projects.



They are eating sandwiches when they are smoking weed. They are smoking actual cigarettes when they are smoking cigarettes. Ted’s kids are shocked when they learn this, I don’t remember them reacting to the sandwich stories.


How I Met Your Mother literally had an episode only about smoking, revealing that everybody in the main group has smoked at one point, and they all do in that episode.

Besides that, isn’t the “smoking is cool” phase in movies a thing of the past already? Most movies don’t show anyone smoking, and if, I would say it’s most often not the hero, but often some shady guys.


Number 1 is wrong. Salmonellae primarily live on the shell, but they possibly propagate to everything that touches the shell, including obviously the inner part of the egg.

Number 2 is good to know: The lion stamp eggs are from chicken that have been vaccinated against the most common salmonella infections. There is no 100% guarantee that it is effective, but together with hygienic measures and regular controls, they can be seen as virtually salmonella-free. Worth noting that vaccination is a requirement in many countries (e.g. Germany), and EU-wide for big farms.


It is an early stage software and such things can be worked out, you’re right. But on the other hand, such basic elements should be based on a thorough concept before a single line is coded, and implementing something like a delete button with “Let’s just make it delete the most visible stuff for now, we can always improve that later when there is time” is recipe for disaster.


Nice to read and all, and I’m looking forward to that game, but am I the only one who expects a “development diary” to contain some information about the actual development of the game rather than just a feature presentation?
