Pixel 6 & newer, newer MediaTek devices, anything with the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 or newer. It took Qualcomm a while because many companies (including Apple) were holding out for VVC, which to this day isn't in a great state. iPhone 15 Pro & newer support AV1 hwdec

Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you're already pulling away from M$

Aside from the backdoor (which is a moot point when talking about zstd anyway), there are a number of other very good reasons to use ZSTD.

Yes, it works on Wayland. I'd also give GNOME's Console a shot.

Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I'd be a fan of defederating, tbh

Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages

Ignoring the fact that the body of this post is very likely LLM-generated, this does seem pretty cool.

I have more of a question than an answer - is the Monaspace repo a good example of how to do this properly, or a bad one?

Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase

How to steal something you can't own? Instructions unclear /s

I think these ARM chips are more expensive than we realize! Apple's egregiously high upgrade pricing on MacBooks sucks, and 8gb of RAM by default on the base model sucks as well, but it is likely to raise the average sale price of devices equipped with their chips. This has been known for some time, I feel.

I'll cut Samsung some slack since we don't know the unit cost of the Snapdragon chips, and they aren't likely to sell out of these devices right away even with competitive pricing because of the state of Windows on ARM. I'm excited to see how Linux support pans out on the next generation of non-Apple ARM notebooks, though; I think this is a chance for some manufacturers to take Linux more seriously, as Linux on ARM is actually not a terrible experience.
