  • "AVIF is an image file format that uses AV1 compression algorithms." yes i mean that

  • We will rebuild with Rust when all is said and done.

  • Absolutely. Something you missed though, at the same time AI models are becoming more efficient and cheaper to run, so these data centers are going to be a massive waste of resources in a year.

  • Let's all spend time learning about construction and planning and build our own housing!

  • You touched on a core part of the issue, which is seeing housing/real estate as an investment which has driven up costs significantly while encouraging owners to be against new construction.

  • It's always been midnight.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Is the US currently in a recession or entering one?

  • I got my company to start using an environmentally sustainable solvent called d-limonene rather than continuing to use petroleum based solvents which were much more toxic.

  • Pay me and I'll move to Poland to help solve the problem.

  • That's a good point, I wonder if there's a better per capita graph somewhere out there.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Do we have a good idea as to why this has flattened out?

  • I'm sure you've spent a lot of time trying different things, this is what I found:

    • In Linux Mint's sound settings (Applications -> Preferences -> Sound), under the Hardware tab, choose a profile that does NOT mention anything digital or IEC. For example, select "Analog Stereo Duplex." This can help PulseAudio avoid blocking the digital output and allow passthrough to work properly through ALSA.
    • Use alsamixer in a terminal to select the motherboard's sound device and ensure SPDIF outputs are enabled and not muted. Sometimes SPDIF is muted by default.
    • In terminal, run gstreamer-properties and set Default Output to ALSA with the digital device as the output. This bypasses PulseAudio and can solve passthrough issues.

    Not actually sure if any of that will help, but I tried. 😂

  • Realistically it's mostly about compatibility and cost. It's common to have the mentality of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" even when optimizations would improve efficiency and reduce costs in the long term. If you can't justify the cost to transition, and clearly demonstrate the time/cost savings, then executives will not give a single shit.

  • What hoops? Installing the NVIDIA drivers is pretty straight forward.

  • What (simple) audio setup? Does it rely on proprietary software?

  • The only thing a beginner needs to know is Linux Mint. I think any time anyone shows curiosity in trying Linux, it should be stressed that there's a really simple and "safe" way to start, which would be through Linux Mint.

  • Good perspective. I like the concept of marginal utility and scarcity.

    I need to hammer a nail, I get one hammer, I hammer the nail successfully. The hammer was very valuable to me.

    I get another hammer, it's not nearly as valuable as the first hammer unless my first hammer breaks.

    I give the hammer to someone else who needs to hammer a nail, they hammer the nail successfully. The hammer was very valuable to them.

  • I'm not saying we adopt gold as a currency, I'm thinking we should try using it more often to measure the value of things. I'm considering working on a web application that allows users to easily determine the price of something in gold by weight. It's a fun thing to think about. Even with supply shocks from a new reserve, that is absolutely nothing compared to the inflation of the money supply.

  • I'm not saying we should have a gold standard again, there were obviously bad downsides. I'm questioning why we measure everything in money which loses its value over time due to inflation. Can't we measure things in something that has a more stable value while also not having a gold standard?

  • 100% anonymous and handle spam? Good luck. You'd probably be a multi-millionaire if you figured that one out.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Why do we keep measuring the value of things with something that constantly loses value over time?

    Nissin or Maruchan? (Chicken Flavor)
