Well now I feel personally attacked

I thought the Chinese AMD chips were called Hygon or something like that?

In fact a quick google suggests these are two different CPU lines, but I might be getting it wrong

Opera is basically spyware now, such a shame

First I’ve heard of these so I looked into it

It’s basically a continuation of VIA’s x86 tech (they sold the cyrix processors for a while if anyone remembers them). I assumed it was just copyright theft, but these are legitimately licensed x86 chips.

Apparently the current generation of these is like the Ryzen 3000 series, but I can’t find any actual benchmarks, so I’ll take that with a bit of salt. I doubt they will have the same power efficiency as the OP ones since the clock is apparently at 3.7GHz.

This is much cooler than I initially realised though. A viable 3rd player can keep competitor prices down so we would all benefit even if most of us aren’t buying these chips

9point6, to memes in How I like my pi

Yep it does, most VPN software lets you configure the DNS server to be your pihole.

If you care about the privacy of your DNS requests, tunnel the pihole through a VPN too

It makes me sad that I just assumed someone had asked an AI to make a photo realistic version of this meme

9point6, to asklemmy in What are some interesting thinking skills or strategies you've picked up from programming (or anywhere else, but try to stick to programming for now)

Absolute value: if less than zero multiply by -1

Is Odd: if modulo 2 is 1

At most both of those are a 3-4 (x86) CPU instructions. There’s no way any regex engine is going to be remotely equivalent if we’re talking about efficiency.

I always had a suspicion you perl guys were crazy

9point6, to announcements in Lemmy Developer AMA and Dev Update, 2024-01-26, 1500 CEDT

Firstly, thank you so much for providing the means for me to cut Reddit out of my life, I feel like I’m engaging with content in a much more deliberate way since, and honestly it’s been a massive improvement to my mental health in a way that I was completely oblivious to there even being a problem before.

Anyway, the question—regarding things happening entirely out of your control, what would be the best and worst things that could happen to lemmy from your perspectives? And as an extension, what are your goals for it?

9point6, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a niche interest or hobby you'd personally like to see represented more on Lemmy

It’s not even that niche imo, but just more music production content in general. There was an instance focused on this a few months ago, but it seems to have gone and not returned.

On Reddit, you have communities of music makers around theory, various genres, various software, synths, and deals. It’s definitely a source of inspiration I miss.

Is red hat a good or a bad influence on the ecosystem?

9point6, to lemmyshitpost in We at the Westville Marriott want you to know that we hate you and hope you die.

Like why bother at that point? No one is going to eat that egg and be glad the hotel gave it to them. It’s just going to be a bad experience just before they leave, and potentially put them off choosing the hotel again.

9point6, to memes in We thought AI would take over but we forgot about the ants

There’s 4 "and"s in that sentence. For some reason I expected better sentence structure from a librarian.

Wait, does it not stand for “behind the scenes” wrt the K-pop group?
