I don't think it's quite stable. The external events that caused waves of new users to arrive from X are getting rare and bringing in fewer. When those aren't happening it's been a…

Some people are getting introduced to similar and in some ways worse UX on Bluesky now that there are some actual efforts to make it slightly less centralized.

I believe that surge was Elon announcing AI image editing on X and a bunch of Japanese artists and their followers trying out Bluesky.

I'd rather say Twitter and Threads are the current winners if we're talking about userbase. Bluesky is basically in the same league with Mastodon while those two are so far above t…

This actually manages to be worse than either of those two things. It isn't a separate service from Bluesky but it also doesn't really offer any meaningful decentralization.

Modal also seems like a recently started shell for this and the funding they got so far originates from US non-profits through Free Our Feeds which you might remember from trying a…

That is true and the usual recommendation is to follow hashtags but I think making lists easily shareable would also help a great deal.

You don't hold a copyright on just a name. Trademarks are for that but have to be applied for.

Well, I probably haven't seen the marketing you're referring to if it all happened before even that prerelease but people have kept talking about the BFS features for decades now a…

Using this doesn't prevent you from using another email client to access the inbox too. It is true you don't get the same view to your data on all clients/platforms but then again …

> You could not turn off indexing for some/ all folders in BeOS only for an entire filesystem (and if you do a bunch of stuff doesn't work) That's true but you still did have some …

It doesn't seem entirely fair to say it stems from "marketing". There were and still are plenty of fully functional applications that rely on the filesystem attributes and indexing…

It was actually the judge.

Note that multiple Linux distributions will still be supporting it, in some cases for a very long time after.

I guess it's just simply twice the number of Cuda cores times the operating frequency and so it's accurate as such but lots more goes into gaming performance of a GPU.

Thanks. Not sure where they got it from. The Anandtech article that is linked to there does contain some TFLOPS numbers but I think they came up with those numbers somehow based on…

Where are the TFLOPS figures from? I don't think Nvidia has officially released those but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Where are you getting these TFLOPS numbers? I haven't seen them in anything other than rumors that got a lot of things wrong so I wouldn't be too certain about them.

Probably because BitKeeper definitely was proprietary back when the Linux kernel was using it even if it got open sourced later... Your comment seemed to be suggesting otherwise.

I don't think it's all that popular yet, most 360 content I see is 4K and anything better than that is fairly rare. I do agree it's needed but especially for mobile VR storage requ…

The assumption you make here is that they'd think otherwise if they had used a 6dof headset which doesn't really seem to ring true for me. There are lots of Rifts and Vives lying u…

I don't think lighthouse was originally royalty-free and without any licensing fees back in 2016 when these systems released, pretty sure that was announced later.

I think BSD taking the lead once the legal issues were resolved would have been far more likely than Hurd taking the place of Linux.
