Love to see more RISC-V in the wild

I love seeing stuff like this, very nostalgic, looks amazing.

I really do miss the design of Windows 7 and the apps of that era (think Office 2007 style)

I hope it comes back

This website is so laggy I can barely even scroll.

This is very impressive... The temptation to build my own now...

I'm looking forward to when they get federation support, so that I can finally convince people to move away from a certain popular chat platform.

I think more competition in the "AI Editor" space is good, but I have to ask – why not make it a VSCode extension? I feel it'd be much more accessible.

Are there limitations in the extension APIs that make it hard to implement?

I remember having to use BlueJ at University... I found that it makes programming so much harder. New window for every file, no ctrl+click following references, no auto-formatter, no easy sidebar tree of files...

I ended up using vscode and just copying the files into BlueJ before submitting my assignments.

NAT is not a security feature, nor is everything publicly exposed to the internet on IPv6. With most routers you would have to explicitly forward a port in the router to expose that to the client anyways.

This is something I've been wishing for for ages - I'm glad to find out it's a real thing now. It's a shame about the licensing, but it's a good start.

SVT-AV1 has massively improved encoding speed. I was getting ~4x encode speed with some heavy compression (barely any noticeable quality drop) on 1080p/24fps footage on my Ryzen 7 3700X just yesterday.

I'm praying that Apple starts supporting AV1 soon...
