Very interesting read! I wonder when the bubble will finally get popped from the Stack.

It's so funny to me how they always word it as if they're a corporate entity or some sort of "competitor" on "the market" when in reality it's just an implementation of a common protocol. I have yet to see other ActivityPub Projects being acknowledged by journalists. Focusing only on Mastodon is like focusing only on Gmail while completely ignoring the existence of E-Mail.

Unofficial American Province tries to become more independent? Looks like Washington will have to set things straight again.

Ironic how this is a YouTube link and Lemmy's Web Frontend just embeds it and makes my browser call out to Google/YouTube and load extra JS. I liked Lemmy more when they didn't do this bullshit.

One thing about the modern web I really hate is how websites have to embed and show a preview of every other hyperlink. I don't want any of that. I never wanted any of that. "Features" like embedding stuff don't add much and only make everything more slow because things become more chatty on the Network. Also: Stop helping big tech lay eggs in people's browser cache.

If there is a hyperlink and I want to know what's behind it, I click on it. It's as easy as that.

That last comment is insane. They sound like one of those people who believe that video games are a waste of time. Meanwhile they're probably browsing the Internet all day and slurp up all the propaganda against US enemies they come across.

Your CPU has big registers, so why not use them!

#include <x86intrin.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static int increment_one(int input)
{
    int __attribute__((aligned(32))) result[8]; 
    __m256i v = _mm256_set_epi32(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, input);
    v = (__m256i)_mm256_hadd_ps((__m256)v, (__m256)v);
    _mm256_store_si256((__m256i *)result, v);
    return *result;
}

int main(void)
{
    int input = 19;
    printf("Input: %d, Incremented output: %d\n", input, increment_one(input));
    return 0;
}

Actually it's ((unsigned long long)-1) total lost troops.

Same. But I also want to live long enough to experience the world post collapse, at least for a little bit.
