Wow, not even a bar/swaybar/waybar. That’s radical, alright.

Technology@lemmy.world•In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mudEnglish
42·2 months agoAnd even if you can - is it worth it? I mean - do I care and should I care? Is the point of music detecting every detail of the recording or can I appreciate it without paying that much attention to production? For instance, I find it much more convenient to use Bluetooth headphones as it allows me to move around the house. Flac immediately stops being relevant, as Bluetooth codec is really bad compared to almost any codec. I recently tried ldac codec on my headphones - couldn’t really tell the difference. Mp3 128kbps is just fine for me. Almost any situation. I care about musical content much more than production details. Other people might care more. I don’t.

Technology@lemmy.world•Razer account “Human Verification” promotes World ID biometric verificationEnglish
34·2 months agoBTW, Tools for Humanity is another Sam Altman startup, that also has World Coin crypto currency and wants to scan human irises for human verification. Razer was one of the first endorsers. The whole thing walks like a rugpull scam and quacks like a rugpull scam.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What's a Linux distro thats breaks the windows mold and is good for testing?
11·2 months agoYou can try Niri - it is a tiling, scrollable wm, a lot easier to use than i3, I’d say half way between i3 and a full de.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Tesla's own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor
2·2 months agoYou’re, right, I misremembered. In my defense, lidar is a kind of radar and in this context, the point of the commenter still stands - they had hw that could improve self driving, but chose vision-only on purpose.

Technology@lemmy.world•You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shiftEnglish
3·2 months agoI’d say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can’t, for whatever reason. So walking back won’t bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they’ll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•BMW struggles to keep up with demand as new iX3 sells out through 2026
121·2 months agoVery strange looking BMW, but still better than giant beaver teeth it kept growing in the past. And still pretty recognizably BMW.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Tesla's own Robotaxi data confirms crash rate 3x worse than humans even with monitor
3·2 months agoTesla had lidar before, they decided to switch to vision-only control, presumably for hardware cost saving, but I read that this was musks decision ultimately, despite the pushback. The model s’s that had the hw on board simply stopped using it after an update.
Interesting experiment. But same idea as a tremolo bridge, but instead of springs in tension, he uses a magnet. An improvement could be the same - instead od directly pulling, he could try the hinge/lever setup like in a tremolo. Could also use mechanical advantage to make use of smaller magnets. An additional benefit is improved safety. But you would just reinvent the tremolo, only make it more expensive. Already, this sounds more or less like a floating style tremolo, but with additional floating. And increased price. And safety concerns.

28·3 months agoThis post only mentions that the installer works, but does the actual application work? Don’t get me wrong, the installer working is still progress.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than everEnglish
4·3 months agoAFAIK there is no reason why vst companies wouldn’t produce linux builds, vst has been opened for Linux for a long time now, they just need to port it. iLok should also be possible, though I personally hate it, but I’m not a pro.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Donut solid state sodium battery investigation
2·3 months agoI feel like - even if legit, it’s unlikely the production can scale to any meaningful level in at least 5 years. They claim they’re releasing the bike this year with the battery. This means they have a small scale production almost ready, as bikes are fairly low volume. If true, at least, we’ll see the technology.

Programming@programming.dev•About “fauxpen source”, FUTO, fascists and capitalism
31·3 months agoOoof, did not know about this. I held Louis to high regard for his work and this somewhat mars his reputation. I will from now on be cautious about Louis Rosmann, though I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, provided he is more careful in the future. He’s always been a bit of an abrasive character, which is not always bad, but he needs to be held accountable, like everybody else.

Hate pro, but more than that - hate Snap! Switched to Mint and couldn’t be happier, it was seamless. I already only use none of Ubuntu defaults, so switching to mint and copying my dotfiles was almost as if I didn’t even do anything. On my other machine, I just uninstalled Snap, which is close, but I feel like switching to Mint entirely would be even better. I just can’t bring myself to backup everything to do a fresh install.
