@brion same on GNOME on Linux

@rooster the M3 is apparently on the horizon

Please support!

Aviator 0.4.2 is out on #flathub! Or, at least, it should be pretty soon...

Among the changes:
- SVT-AV1 has been updated to version 1.7.0, which has quite the [impressive changelog](https://gitlab.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-AV1/-/releases) so the default preset is now 7 rather than 6
- SCM control for screen content in the GUI
- Build flags to optimize compilation with -O3 & -flto for hopefully even more performance
- A few small QoL adjustments

A tool for defining CSS colors in a perceptual color space: https://oklch.com/

“OKLCH in CSS: why we moved from RGB and HSL” https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/oklch-in-css-why-quit-rgb-hsl

I’ll definitely be using this!

Full text search has been merged in #Mastodon `main` branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉

It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time.

We plan to deploy it to mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the coming days to have a bit more feedback on it and see how it behaves in the wild.

He's going to get people killed with this.

You know what Nazis used to do in my Twitter replies before I started mass blocking?

They'd give my home address out to OTHER Nazis in my replies who had expressed an interest in murdering my family and me.

@marcan Keep pushing Wayland forward. X.org isn’t worth the effort

@fratm I think it is rarer to start on Linux then to start on Windows. That being said, every gamer I've talked to likes Windows a lot. Being someone who doesn't play games myself, I don't fully understand the appeal, but that's what I've encountered

Compression Plotter: a bash script that plots a ratio of speed to compressed size for different compression algorithms.

https://github.com/gianni-rosato/compression-plotter

Supports brotli, zstd, 7-zip, xz, & zip (through 7-zip)
Requires 7zzs, brotli, zstd, tar, time (the one in /usr/bin, not shell time), stat (linux)

@Jae Everything these guys do is awesome. Highlights are there smartphone chip evaluations (the Dimensity 9200+ vid is up on their Chinese channel) & the MacBook Air M2 deep dive

Maybe I'm late to the punch, but this is certainly interesting.

@neil The way this is done with music & video streaming is with DRM. I wouldn't want to see that happen on the Web

@slashdot Huh?

@DenJohn I am not super interested in Windows. Their Linux experimentation was sick
