Thank you for this piece of information. Nostr is not for me.

Without draconian censorship you can’t really replicate the experience of Chinese social media. I mean, I’m sure I’d be able to say things like sprinkling pepper 撒胡椒面 or facilitating commerce while loosening my clothing 通商宽衣.

Just doesn’t feel the same.

It’s like a picture book!

Get some people to write really passionately about moving off of it, apparently.

It is quite literally Taiwan’s constitutional vow and the opinion of every government theyve ever elected that they want to be part of China

I have to admit that I’m uninformed about this point of the RoC constitution. Could you point it out? For your convenience: https://law.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?pcode=A0000001

Tsunami warnings have just been issued, up to 5m waves predicted in Ishikawa. Stay safe!

Last week, Japan said it would prepare to ship Patriot air defence missiles to the United States after revising its arms export guidelines, in Tokyo’s first major overhaul of such export curbs in nine years.

That’s alright then!

I don’t use public bidets, but the one I have at home I would say is critical to my quality of life.

That is every media outlet in China, unfortunately, since it’s part of how the CCP stays in power.

So you think that some farmers protesting the loss of their livelihood is as unacceptable as a sanctioned autocracy that constantly fires missiles towards their neighbours?

"Whatever stage of development it may reach, China will never pursue hegemony or expansion, and will never impose its will on others.

Being able to carry my entire collection with me is incredible. Before I’d have to select a few to bring on vacation or when visiting relatives.

Since Android Webview is Chromium, this reads to me like it’s making it into Chrome anyway.
It’s behind some restrictions, but now that it’s deployed Google can

1. test it in live environments, making sure everything works
2. more easily enable it for Chrome proper with fewer to no restrictions
   They’ll probably do this in the future using a staged rollout similar to what they did for Youtube and adblockers.

The fact that it’s making it into production means the only concession Google made was admitting that they know that some of us vocally oppose it.
I’d continue encouraging friends and family to use Firefox.

Apple says the M3 is 50% more efficient than the M1, and since it’s on a 3nm process it’s likely at least competitive, and probably more efficient than the Snapdragon at 4nm.

This is mentioned in the article:

The critical thing to remember during all these benchmarks is that Qualcomm matches or beats the competition (as of today) at all these CPU and GPU tests, but at less power than the others, sometimes up to 70% less power than Apple or Intel.

Even against the M2 Max from Apple, which will beat the Snapdragon X Elite on most benchmarks (except single-thread), the Snapdragon X Elite still consumes 30% less power when matching Apple’s single-threaded peak performance.

Looks like a 30% efficiency improvement, although the article doesn’t detail the performance against M2 besides in writing. We’ll have to wait for more benchmarks.

On the more familiar and widely used Geekbench 6, both configurations easily beat Razer’s Blade 14 (2023) powered by the AMD R9 7940HS. The MacBook Pro 13” with M2 processor came last (compared to our best gaming laptops) with 2,658 single-thread and 10,088 multi-thread. By comparison, Qualcomm pulled off 2,940 ST, 15,130 MT, 2,780 ST, and 14,000 MT at its lower TDP configuration.

Cinebench 2024, which replaces Cinebench R23, hasn’t been used a lot by us yet as it’s brand new, but the new version, which is compiled to run ARM natively, still shows the Snapdragon X Elite way ahead of the competition with 132 ST and 1,220 MT for Config A. The MacBook Pro with M2 could only muster 121 ST and 572 MT and was still easily beaten by the Config B model with 122 ST and 950 MT.

China has a very public “no limits” strategic partnership with Russia.

The CCP certainly tried to remove as much of it as they could in the Cultural Revolution, burning books, destroying cultural relics, and prosecuting intellectuals.

If I could only get everyone who works on the thing I work on to use a whitespace visualizer, it would be enough. We can fight about tabs or spaces after we get rid of all the unnecessary trailing ones.

You might also be able to turn on Battery Idle Mode, although it’s not supported on every device.
