Beacon@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.zip•Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet1·5 days agoYou’ve missed the point. The point is that whatever you say about the word “worth” when it comes to bitcoin, then that same distinction would apply when you use the word to talk about USD too, and euros, and oil, and every other currency and commodity.
Beacon@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.zip•Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet61·6 days agoThat’s nonsense because then you’re just saying the word “worth” doesn’t mean anything when it comes to anything besides unique items

Thanks for the info, but what is the functional difference to the end user?
I’m not clear on what the distinction is that you’re referring to. How are the Linux window managers different than the win/mac ones?
There are tiling window managers for win and mac too, so i don’t think this meme makes sense
Beacon@fedia.ioto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Any controllers that have both joysticks in the "upwards" position?2·20 days agoJust out of curiosity, how do you use it? Like you use your index fingers on the joysticks while your thumbs hit the buttons?

I don’t know what you mean by “directly draw on the desktop”, but whatever it is have you looked for other apps that might do the same thing?
Beacon@fedia.ioto Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu Joins the Movement: X11 Officially Being Phased Out92·23 days agoIs that a problem of Wayland or a problem of KeePassXC?

Beacon@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•Smartphones are Designed to Fail Us (and We Have to Change That)8·1 month agoIt makes total sense to me. A phone case is just a cheap piece of plastic that’s made using cheap mold-manufacturing, and cases last for the entire life of the phone, sometimes even living on through a couple of phone lifetimes.
But screen protectors have to be more rigorously designed, - making sure that the material works well between finger and each particular touchscreen, and it’s made using relatively much more expensive manufacturing processes like curved glass cutting, and people have to replace them every once in awhile because the purpose of a screen protector is to take all the damage that otherwise would’ve happened to your screen.
Beacon@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•Smartphones are Designed to Fail Us (and We Have to Change That)66·1 month agoThat doesn’t match my experience with phone hardware. Everyone i know has a bunch of old phones that’ve been handed down to kids and even more sitting in junk drawers, because they all still work. Yes a couple of them have cracked screens, but even with those the only reason why the screen wasn’t repaired is because people wanted or already had a newer phone.
Software is a totally different matter though. The OS and apps stop getting updates at some point even though the hardware is still totally capable of doing what most people want their phone to do. And even worse, many companies don’t allow a phone to revert to an older OS version, so the company pushes out an update that slows the phone down and then there’s no way to fix that.
The HARDWARE isn’t designed to fail, because the SOFTWARE is designed to let the company force the device to fail at whatever exact moment the company later decides on.
Beacon@fedia.ioto Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic101·1 month agoI bet that’s a slightly unfair representation of what it actually looked like. Graphics back then were purposely designed for how they would look on CRT tvs which add a lot of specific distortions to images. So taking a screenshot of a game running in an emulator without using a high quality crt filter added to the image will be a very untrue representation of what the game actually looked like.
(Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it actually looked great when displayed correctly, but i am saying it would’ve looked considerably better than this emulator screenshot)
