beebeepka··on macOS Sonoma Boot Failures
Aren't CSS animations capped at 60, same as requestAnimationFrame?

I've been advocating (and using) high refresh displays for over two decades and I find your reasoning preposterous. Downgrading to crappy 60 Hz monitor for nothing.

Why would 60 FPS CSS animations look bad on high refresh displays?

Fancy fade in/out effects this early?
beebeepka··on The Cruel Fantasies of Well-Fed People
What a nice blog. I don't think I have ever said this before. I read several articles and agree with the thought process of this person.

This one touched me https://www.monbiot.com/2023/10/24/necroculture/

beebeepka··on Cortex X2: ARM aims high
What's your point, exactly? You seem to acknowledge what the person you replied to said but it's somehow "funny".

They've been pushing the HSA buttons since they acquired ATi back in 2006. Are we there yet?
beebeepka··on Google's plan to stop Apple from getting serious about search
What android brand would you recommend "for privacy"?

I agree Xiaomi loves their data collection to the point of selling pole fan that require an app to operate - I saw that one in one of their stores.

So what else is there?

beebeepka··on MAME 0.260
It's only been an year since I've tried it. There have been massive improvements over the years but I still prefer dealing with the above setup.

They do have autofire, saves, art, snapshots, etc. but I got tired of having to configure my joypad cfg after every restart. Maybe time to give it another try

Is there a modern name fronted for Linux?

Even after all these years I still get back to my territory outdated version of mame32++ wine.

It's not a perfect setup but the alternatives, that I am aware of, suck even more.

beebeepka··on Qualcomm Previews Snapdragon X Elite SoC: Oryon CPU Starts in Laptops
If their slides are to be believed, the CPU is going to be competitive with whatever everyone else puts out.
beebeepka··on Qualcomm Previews Snapdragon X Elite SoC: Oryon CPU Starts in Laptops
These are some bold claims. Higher performance than m2 max, or matching it at 30% less power.

I hope it's true because it sounds pretty amazing. AMD may have to release an arm chip too or they will be pushed out of the consumer market

beebeepka··on George Carlin's "Soft Language" (2019)
> Something I was rather ignorant to for the longest time was how fascism can exist at both ends of the spectrum.

Both extremes are the same. It's like love and hate. You shall not have freedoms is the point.

beebeepka··on How plants communicate with each other when in danger
Oh, it's the soya, not cows? Not corn for ethanol?

It must be the vegan's fault.

beebeepka··on My website is one binary (2022)
Thought the same. Good they are proud of themselves, tho. I'll just not read what they have to say.
beebeepka··on Cops Are Suing a Teen for Invasion of Privacy After False Arrest Vid Goes Viral
I am deeply confused by this response. All I did was described authoritarians a little differently.
beebeepka··on EU Commissioner as double agent of foreign interference
Yes, really. Someone went completely overboard with the qualifiers and I very much disagree with their opinion.

For certain types of people, respect can only be achieved via intimidation. Or mean the same thing.

Edit: I think people are completely misunderstanding this post. I made a general statement about humans. Not about policing, not about a country. Just an observation that certain types of people only seem to understand/respect violence.

Not every statement needs to be "unpacked"

beebeepka··on EU Commissioner as double agent of foreign interference
We've reached a point where people don't even remember what conspiracy means. Let's take the very first line from Wikipedia

> A conspiracy, also known as a plot, is a secret plan or agreement

There. It's a secret plan. But the word has been twisted into meaning crazy.

beebeepka··on Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better
Indeed. Clearly, the reasons for not making this a bit easier, are not technical. It's there and I know I can create shortcuts and launch apps with parameters but why should I go through this trouble. After I have configured everything, I don't want to tinker with my browser outside work.

A simple GUI would do the trick.

beebeepka··on Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better
I just copy the profile directory. I managed to implant a profile from windows to manjaro, then Ubuntu. Though I don't remember what I had to deal with in canonical's case and their snaps, it could not have been that hard given that I did it.

Yes, I have felt this numerous times with my wife's aluminium laptop. Touching the surface feels weird

Oh, they did way more than just put an ad on their homepage. It was plastered everywhere, bundled with all sorts of unrelated software.

I guess everyone missed the sarcasm
beebeepka··on Early Europeans ate seaweed for thousands of years
A few decades from now there will be articles about how ancient people used to drink water. Yes, water. Just like out the toilet.
beebeepka··on Early Europeans ate seaweed for thousands of years
I love all sorts of green things and gave up on meat a while ago but seaweed with a taste of bacon sounds amazing.
beebeepka··on AMD Introduces New AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000/Pro 7000 WX
Indeed. Who needs all these price points? Why would anyone buy anything but the most expensive product? Companies are weird.
beebeepka··on Write more "useless" software
Nvidia and Epic were built with gaming money. Now they are almost vital technologies with all sorts of useful non-gaming applications
beebeepka··on An ultra-quiet electric leaf blower
But picking them manually does not emit insane amounts of air and noise pollution which is most of the "fun". What's the point of doing anything if it doesn't hurt anyone? Kind of like motorcycles.
beebeepka··on Raspberry Pi 5 vs. Orange Pi 5 Plus vs. Rock 5 Model B
After my 3b+ died and the 4 was nowhere to be found, my enthusiasm kind of shifted towards something even crazier - Ryzen 7840 based machine for 5x the price.

Since these SBCs keep getting pricier and need active cooling while software is still far from ideal, it's not that big of a jump.
