I wonder how CPU makers decide the minimum clock frequency that a CPU can scale down to for power management purposes. For example, I'm playing with a Quartz64 model B SBC with a RK3566 SoC, with four ARM Cortex-A55 cores, and the minimum frequency, according to the Linux kernel, is 408 MHz. (The maximum is 1.8 GHz.) Did they determine that lowering the frequency any further wouldn't save any power? I assume that number is set by the hardware and not by the kernel driver.


@RaccoonForFriendica a new version 0.2.0 has been released.

Changelog:
🦝 feat: add support for MastodonRedirect;
🦝 feat: export/import app settings to/from JSON;
🦝 feat: export contact list from profile;
🦝 feat: allow changing markup mode in post creation;
🦝 fix: retain scrolling state after navigation;
🦝 fix: newlines after titles in Markdown preview;
🦝 fix: avoid self mention when replying;
🦝 fix: retrieve source to edit post;
🦝 enhancement: populate current app icon value in settings;
🦝 chore: update manual and project documentation;
🦝 chore: typo in Fastlane metadata.

For those who have lost it, there has been a 0.1.1 in the meantime, which was mainly due to a metadata issue which blocked the submission on F-Droid, but it also included:
🦝 feat: add support for alternate (classic) and monochrome app icon;
🦝 fix: rendering images of different heights in carousels;
🦝 fix: rendering GIFs (or images with unbound constraints).

After the app gets published on the stores, we're going to move towards a more predictable release cycle (e.g. monthly stable versions and weekly betas).

Hope you are having fun on Friendica (or Mastodon) and as always #livefasteattrash

"Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System."

Tesla's fatality rate is double the national average. Driver behavior is a contributing factor to the high number of deaths (i.e. shitty-driving assholes are more likely to buy Teslas and die or kill someone else while driving them).

Winamp users, how am I meant to navigate the main UI with a screen reader? V 5.9.2, build 10042.
in reply to Stu

why? there are newer and better tools out there. People use it for nostalgia and familiarity these days, I don't know anyone under the age of 25 who'd want to bother
in reply to Sean Randall

@cachondo I switched to Foobar2000 a few years ago, now I keep winamp around for... Reasons I don't even know why. Not sure the last time I used it in fact. I have zero uses for it.


Špaček je dnes najlepší lebo chodí hore dole po centru Prahy.



Tak jsem doufal, že ještě dneska vyhraje odpoledne kolo, ale začalo u nás pršet.
Tak holt kratší výběh no.
Nějak se na tu Prahu 2025 musím připravit 🏃
in reply to Archos

Právě. Nejlepší je vyrazit teď na dvě hoďky a vrátit se po třetí, kdy se smráká a ochlazuje. Příští týden to vidím více na #indoor.


Another Brexit fiasco.... British cheeses failed to get to the World Cheese Awards in Portugal as they failed to clear customs in time (now being from a non-EU country).

In the scale of the disasters of Brexit its not going to to be a big thing (although it will be for the frustrated cheese makers), but is emblematic of how myopic the Brexiters were about the impact of their successful plan to leave Europe....

Hey Firefox, could you stop asking for location access when I use Google? Thanks.
in reply to Stu

It's Googgle, not Firefox.
Firefox is passing on google's request, just as it would for a website that wanted to use your mic.


I've reached the end of my first full week of using a terminal-only interface for my personal computing in 2024.

It has been quite a week.

I've had to pick up git, which is a whole new learning curve for me, and my knowledge of tmux has increased rapidly too.

But, in terms of getting done what I actually wanted to do? It has been absolutely fine... right up until the point when it was not, and then I struggled.

I'm writing notes as I go, for a future blogpost.

You know some of us used an 80x25 text only screen and keyboard (connected via a serial line) all day, long before these new fangled "browser" things.

Oh my, is it? It caught me off irc for a change.



Hardcoded shortcuts in #LibreOffice are still a joke in 2024:

- F1 still cannot be modified. (I hate you so much for this.)
- Ctrl-P is Print, except editing shortcuts shows it's not actually bound to anything. Lulz?

Thankfully at least one can modify Ctrl-P to do something actually useful, like Export Directly as PDF.

But then… the Print tooltip still mentions Ctrl-P, the Export Directly as PDF doesn't.

A restart later, both tooltips mention Ctrl-P.

Lulz!

Sorry to hear that! We have very limited resources and do all we can, but we'd appreciate help to fix the things that matter to you: libreoffice.org/community/get-…


Super nice #macOS related fixes upcoming in #LibreOffice💪❤️
macOS dictation had a problem where dictated text would only show, once you make a pause speaking. That was inconvenient as it is much easier to gather your thoughts when spoken text appears immediately.

Another issue that has been ongoing for many many years was, that when you scrolled the sheet in calc and while scrolling was still ongoing pressed cmd for some operation, the zoom level would change. This extremely annoying behavior is no longer.

Both fixes done by #PatrickLuby of #NeoOffice - we should all thank him!

Will take some time for those to trickly down into stable, but 25.2 will bring those fixes for sure.

Once again, @Tusky ate the alt-text of an image when I clicked OK. I don't have the gumption to rewrite it. It would be great if this bug could be fixed.

@Tusky i love you, but you have to stop throwing away drafts when reopening the app.

Several times a month I lose my posts while switching been apps to copy text snippets and so on. It doesn't happen all the time, which is super frustrating. I convince myself it's okay, probably was just user error, it's stopped now, and then 💣🕳️

i can't do this anymore, sorry

in reply to matt wilkie

it is a known bug and will be corrected in the next update, sorry about the problem


@Tusky Hi, I'd like to see Tusky to be able to export all settings and accounts to a backup file. After moving to a new smartphone I was missing this badly. Lots of apps are offering this feature nowadays: NewPipe, Tubular, FairEmail, Feeder, AntennaPod, RedReader.... Thanks and I appreciate your work! #Tusky ❤️
