Fediverse@lemmy.world•It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million
1·15 hours agoSure! Just one problem the title is saying “Total Mbin Posts by Month”… but it doesn’t look like a total, but more like an average? Disclaimer: I don’t know how reliable this source is.
Source: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/stats
I also notice a decline in servers of both Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats server as well as Mbin servers. Lemmy peaked around 1396 servers and is now down to 370 (73.4% decrease). Mbin peaked around 26 and is down to 15 (42% decrease). I can’t give you an answer why there is a decrease in servers in the threadiverse realm…
Even outside of the threadiverse there is a downtrend going on with Mastodon. Peak of 11773 down to 7666 (34.8% decrease).

71·2 days agoNo it’s not immune to viruses or malware. Like you said it’s less likely. But also in general Linux is more safe, for root permissions it will ask you your password.
And just in general I think you’re better off using Linux.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux Still Dealing With Quirky Firewire Devices As We Enter 2026
2·2 days agoI never had a device that needed firewire (luckily?). I always found it a strange standard and connector.
Luckily today we just have usb c, specifically usb 3.2 gen 2. Which is the default for some time now. Another benefit is it will often also come with power delivery as well, something that firewire doesn’t support at all.
And for audio I always use optical audio cables. Also known as S/PDIF.

Linux@programming.dev•Building the perfect linux pc with Linus Torvalds - YouTube
3·7 days agoWell and Linus wasn’t lying about it. He is the person who ironically knows least about the whole Linux ecosystem which we have today…
At this point I think he’s not even aware of Valve Steam Machine. Not following the news on distros. Not following any discussions. Not into gaming. Not into memes. Not into anything, other than compiling the kernel.

I mean, come on. Linus is really only checking his emails.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?
3·10 days agoyeah. I just don’t recommend Mozilla anymore. Do some searches online about the recent developments about Mozilla, “AI” and also bought an ad company: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/advertising/mozilla-anonym-raising-the-bar-for-privacy-preserving-digital-advertising/ (ps this is a marketing blog article of course… read between the lines)
Look… I will not use FF anymore. Hence I use a fork instead.

3·10 days agoThat being said. Do we want to go back to 30 windows? I don’t think so.
Floorp has additional features that keep you managed. Like Workspaces. And also you can group tabs. Or even use colored tabs.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?
4·10 days agoThey use to be new window (not like a pop up, but a new window). Today every new page or “new window” becomes a new tab.
And before you know it, you have dozens of tabs open. But no way you use to have 30 different windows open, since that would drive you crazy with alt+tab.
So the bar is low and it’s easy to keep them open as well. So people will.
