Absolutely not. This thing is going to perform horribly because half the processor die is dedicated to something nobody’s gonna use.
If this were a business laptop then I’d understand adding AI. But this is a gaming handheld, how the hell will this help?
I don’t know the whole deal with them, but off the top of my head I know it’s a very far-right social media site that was fairly mainstream for a while. It got a lot of media coverage after getting hacked, so I guess a lot of people ended up blocking it once they heard of it.
I don’t know the full story. They were probably just a bunch of trolls like a lot of the other instances.
It’s the number of instances that have blocked them.
Accounts can’t defederate afaik. There’s a way to block instances on some apps, but it’s client-side and really just hides posts from that instance.
Really basic summary
Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.
Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.
“Nooooo you can’t have nuanced or benevolent dragons, they can only be evil and kidnap princesses and hoard gold! That’s how it’s been for centuries, it’s totally not an overdone trope! Fantasy worlds aren’t supposed to have depth!”
Let me reverse this question and ask what is the benefit of dynamic typing? What is gained from vaguely defined objects?
The purpose of typed languages is to ensure the bare minimum when it comes to safety. That when you’re accessing a field of an object that field is real, and that field is always going to be an int or a string.
Try/catch only goes so far before it becomes way more cumbersome than necessary, as is checking every field of an object.
Typescript is an example of a language that does static typing poorly, because by design it has to. It’s a quick bandaid fix over an inherently awful language.
No. Dynamic typing, though, is absolutely a fad.
The term techbro specifically refers to someone with a business/finance background who acts like they have tech knowledge without actually having any tech knowledge.
I imagine it’s the lemmy version of the reddit community of the same name.
Splitting the fediverse in half just to get back at Meta is an awful idea.
Getting a bit more in depth, it specifically stems from the r/195 subreddit, which had only one rule stating that if you visit the subreddit page you must post before you leave. This rule was carried over to derivative subreddits like r/196 after 195 shut down. When 196 came to lemmy, this style of post carried over.
It’s talking about the steam PC app I assume.

Ah so that's why it runs like shit.
Nim. It’s kinda hard to describe, but it just feels very clean. Makes me wish python had decent static typing and proper variable declarations. Though calling Nim a “compiled python” really doesn’t do it justice in the least. I have done some unholy things with compile-time evaluation and macros in this language, it’s so much fun.
GDScript is also great. Fixes some of the gripes I had with python as well. Godot is also just a really good game engine so that helps.
Python itself is also great. Has really good packages for almost any use and is really easy to just pick up and use. My main gripe is that it’s dynamic. Yes it supports typing, but it doesn’t make it any better when almost no libraries use it.
Rust is neat, but I find myself hitting a wall whenever I try to pick it up again. I love the memory safety and type system, but it’s not the kinda language you can just pick up and play around in for a few minutes, you kinda have to have a project from the getgo to get any use out of it.
C is fun just for the bullshit you can do with memory and pointers, but I find myself using rust or nim for anything that requires proper memory management.
Unlikely that they’ll even try, but if they do then watch proton get removed within the week.
In my experience, Nim is a language that you either fall in love with immediately or just try for a bit before going back to Rust or Python. My experience is the former, I absolutely love this language and I feel most people are missing out on it.
Honestly I don’t really have anything to say about it other than it’s just a lot of fun to use. It’s got a great macro system, and the compile-time evaluation is the best, imo even better than Zig. It’s also got a large and comprehensive standard library, so for smaller projects you don’t really even need to use Nimble.
But other than that, my love for this language is mostly just “I like how you write stuff and how that stuff works.” It’s a great language if you need to develop fast like Python, but run fast like C. It’s a language you can spend years learning the intricacies of, but pick up in a day. Nim was where a lot of programming concepts just clicked for me. It’s more than just a compiled Python, and I recommend playing around with it for a bit.
Saw someone the other day say something like “she’s the only one who cracks denuvo. She’s insane but it’s best not to bite the hand that feeds you.”
My brother in christ the hand is biting YOU. I would not trust ANYTHING she cracks anywhere near my PC. Consider it all malware.
What these people don’t realize is you’re never gonna get AGI by just feeding a machine an infinite amount of raw data.
