The Jank programming language in c/clojure@programming.dev
[–] take6056 1 points 1 week ago

I partially agree, but this language intentionally doesn't try to change the way the user interacts with the language. Just unlocks another target for running on. A native target even. That's just great, right?

Organic Maps fork CoMaps launches on major app stores for iOS and Android in c/foss@beehaw.org

Been using OsmAnd for years now, but I hear organic maps (or now CoMaps) mentioned way more often. What features does CoMaps have that OsmAnd lacks?

Do you believe in free will? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] take6056 3 points 2 months ago

What explanation do people envision, after which they would both understand the mechanism of free will and are convinced it exists? That understanding just seems contradictory to me, so either it doesn't exist or we can't define it.

Is it known yet if the 9070 (XT) support HDMI2.1 in Linux in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] take6056 15 points 4 months ago (4 children)

That'd be fine by me, if I could also actually buy a good TV that supports DP.

On the other hand, I also think it's bullshit that I pay for HDMI through both my GPU & TV, and the HDMI forum still denies me that bought functionality.

I mean, I agree. But I've waited long enough for a good OLED TV with DisplayPort. I don't get why they don't just add one.

I hope AMD fixed this on their side, maybe by implementing it in hardware. Does anyone have a source? I've only seen reports of HDMI 2.1b support not specifying "Windows-only". Fingers crossed.

When I click the link in the seedit repo, on the webpage it says "fetching ipns from ipfsgateway.xyz"

bluetooth earbuds - privacy? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] take6056 2 points 5 months ago

I think there's 2 potential issues with earbuds, the Bluetooth connection itself and/or a pairing app for the buds.

As for the Bluetooth connection, I've never read about security concerns. I don't think recent versions of Bluetooth are at risk of leaking data. They might be somewhat leaky in metadata (which devices are sending signals at all).

The pairing app poses imo a larger risk. These apps are usually proprietary and might be trying hard to get information. That's a risk with any app that requests many permissions, though. A simple solution would be to not use the pairing app. Or you might look into compatibility of your device with Gadgetbridge, which is open source. https://gadgetbridge.org/

Not sure if this fits your usecase exactly, but LinkSheet can make redirection on android more configurable.

Photons in c/science_memes@mander.xyz

For photons, their moving relatively slow from the inside to the outside of the sun. Although, I think, it's technically a bunch of photons bumping each other into existence.

Wikipedia is financially pretty stable, afaik. Not saying you shouldn't donate, but you might want to look into what happens with it. It won't necessarily be used to cover costs of running the website.

GPD G1 Review: Compact AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU gives your PC a graphics boost - Liliputing in c/hardware@lemmy.world

For $600, you might as well build a PC with an RX 7600 XT.

AMD & HDMI 2.1 (self.linux_gaming)
 

So, I bought an RX 7600 XT, when I was still using my 10 year old TV. Recently upgraded to an LG C4, reading the news about AMD support for HDMI 2.1 on Linux, I also went looking for a DP->HDMI adapter and found one that claims to even support VRR. After a week of getting random audio cuts, suspecting the adapter was at fault, I went pure HDMI...

To my surprise, I could run at 4K 120hz with VRR and HDR. Doesn't that require HDMI 2.1?

Question about WiFi speeds (self.homenetworking)
 

TLDR: Why do so many routers support >1Gbit/s on their WiFi while only having 1Gbit/s ethernet interfaces?

So, I've been upgrading parts of my home setup and have a router (without AP) that has 2.5G interfaces. My PC also has a 2.5G interface, but that only going to the router is kinda useless (the ISP offers 1G).

The place my PC is at is also a good position for an AP. So, I went looking for a cheap second hand wifi router and stumbled upon quite a few that were boasting >1G connection speeds, not only AX but also AC. Now I know this is often a combined theoretical Max, but still a lot offer >1G for the single band.

The vast majority of these routers, though, have 1G Ethernet ports. Putting that between my PC and router reduces that linkspeed and I can't actually reach over 1G for the WiFi devices as well. Why would you sell a product like that. Undoubtedly those radio's were more expensive but their in a package that can't fully utilize them. I can think of some reasons: marketing, radio's are mostly not fully utilized anyways, helps with latency, maybe?

Does anyone know why it's done like this?

RL update frequency and size on linux (self.rocketleague)
 

I recently reinstalled RL after not playing for 2 years, running Linux for my gaming pc these days. Almost every time I open up steam, there's a multi gigabyte rocket league update. Is that normal? Can I play without updating every time?

I don't own a Steam Deck (feddit.nl)

Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

Download PDF with browser provided pdf renderer (self.webdev)
 

TLDR; Does anyone know if there's an initiative to use the pdf rendering engines built into most browsers and used while printing a web page in more flexible ways? Ideally from javascript being able to get the pdf as a File.

I've been looking into download as pdf functionality we implemented at work. It's for a single project, relatively small, so we implemented it with html2pdf.js. There seems to be no better way than rendering the webpage as canvas and saving as an image inside PDF. Although I'm thankful that the project exists, with the lack of text selection, poor image quality and/or large file sizes, it feels bad serving it to the customer. Then I started to look into the printed version and I loved it. Learned some new stuff about css, being able to break a page before a specific element. Tables automatically repeat their header across a page break. I can also save this as pdf, better quality, 40x reduction in file size, yay! However, web api to start this is print(), no arguments, no alternatives. Putting this behind a "Download" buttons seems confusing for the end user. I'm amazed we can't use this built in pdf rendering engine in more flexible ways. (See TLDR for question)
