I dunno who told you the Wii U was 720p-only. Mine ran at 1080p all day, every day - albeit some games used upscaling to reduce the graphical workload.

Nixon died in 1994, so there’s that.

I’m not talking about the merits or otherwise of “unified memory”, I’m pointing out that because Apple’s RAM is physically integrated into the CPU, it can provide more memory bandwidth than regular DDR5 DIMMs.

The LPDDR4X RAM in the Raspberry Pi isn’t QUITE the same as the on-die stuff in the M3 processor.

With Apple’s chips the RAM is all on the CPU die so both CPU and GPU get the performance benefit. With Intel’s, none of it is.

Apple’s RAM isn’t as cheap as you might think, because it’s all built directly onto the CPU die. That’s part of what makes its computers so fast.

While it’s true that the imbeciles in our (UK) government have tried to implicitly outlaw E2EE, there are no restrictions on VPNs here.

You never wonder “why am I seeing this and how do I make it go away?”

I actually find myself wondering this a lot. Mastodon doesn’t allow people to add comments to things they’re reposting, so you’re left guessing as to why they elected to insert something from an unfamiliar account into your timeline.

Mastodon is also short on tools for discovering interesting new posts and accounts that aren’t already on your radar. In this regard I agree that it’s behind the times. Threads handles this much better, giving you a classic chronological feed of people you’re following plus an algorithmic feed that shows you things that are popular with people like you.

I’ve found the Mastodon experience much more isolating than Twitter or Threads, because it intentionally does a lot less to help you find interesting posts and like-minded posters.

Brilliant! You’ve made one post findable!

JPEG XL provides comparable image quality to ordinary JPEG compression at around 80% of the file size. It also supports lossless encoding at smaller sizes than PNG, and can handle layers, transparency and CMYK, so in principle it could conveniently replace almost every existing raster image format.

The whole point of the Fediverse is that people can use whatever platform they like to get content from Mastodon, Lemmy etc.

When you say that there’s a “very large number of bad actors on Threads”, where are you getting your numbers from?
