This album had the floppy merch:

It contained screensavers for windows 9x, as it was released in 1997, the technology of the time. Supposedly there was a mac version as well. It’s archived here: https://archive.org/details/okcomputer_pc

They have a separate repo: https://github.com/bitwarden/f-droid

What does it mean a monitor “supports” a gpu? I remember when some cad software only supported quadros and firepros, but actually it was bullshit, they ran perfectly fine on any gpus. Is the same bullshit back again?

Edit: no, it’s just clickbait:

[…] this is due to the lack of DisplayPort 2.1 support on older Nvidia GPUs, and since AMD added DP 2.1 last gen, its RX 7000 GPUs are good to go.

This restriction only applies to the 5K 180 Hz mode with HDR and no chroma subsampling. That kind of output requires bandwidth that’s beyond what RTX 40-series’ DP 1.4a and HDMI 2.1a ports can handle, even with DSC enabled on the former.

2 guys already took it over, 2 days ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/214fb814223614d13d44f1465302c3cbd7d1395a

A lot other x-mas features are mapped in OSM, they are documented here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:xmas:feature

Some other maps displaying these:

• OpenStreetBrowser Xmas theme - Just zoom in a bit, it even shows if a feature was updated this year
• XMAS-Map

Not related to this tagging, but for this season: on F4Map, in December all statues displayed as snowmen: https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=51.5079565&lon=-0.1279470&zoom=19&camera.theta=49.87&camera.phi=-19.194 It even scales them according to their size!

It’ not the first time Linux Foundation adds its name a to a project by Big Tech. Overture Maps Foundation launched in 2022,it’s under the same umbrella and it has similar sponsors:

Why Zucc was left out from this new party?

It seems like. This is the main admin account from mastodon: link I can see the same posts directly: https://app.wafrn.net/blog/admin

From far away it sill looks similar, but Palmyra got heavy damage during the recent civil war.

I’ve seen slightly offtopic posts deleted here, even after some interesting conversation in the comments. I think Lemmy is small, and it could help the platform if conversations and posts are preserved even if they are not 100% on topic. But I respect the work of mods, it’s their decision how they run a community, even if I don’t agree with them all time.

But just as a backup, if things take an unexpected turn, here are some similar, but much less active communities:

• !selfhosted@sh.itjust.works
• !selfhosting@slrpnk.net
• !homelab@selfhosted.forum
• !selfhosting@eviltoast.org
• !SelfHosted@europe.pub

This is also to the “low effort” posters, if you disagree with your post’s removal you can post it to other similar communities.

Wait until they start to copyright plants, like monsanto

Maybe fake was not the best word. I just don’t really like the 19th century neo* styles, and that they are celebrated as something very historic.

I wouldn’t call it a city, when I was there it was it felt like it’s a village. And thank you for calling it circular because it’s not, and the spire helps with that illusion. The town covers only one side of the rock, the other side is empty.

About similar things, the “abbey on the top of a lonely rock/hill” trope is not unheard of in Europe, on the top of my head: Monte Cassino, Assisi, Melk, Pannonhalma…

But that’s not the point I tried to make. Here is the contour of Mont-Saint-Michel, you can recognize it at first glance, even at small resolution, because it’s very unique:

But can you also recognise it as quickly if I remove the spire from the same drawing:

That’s the point I tried to make, that small touch added a lot to it’s unique look. And it also fits really well, just it’s not as old as other parts.

It wasn’t built as a tourist attraction 1000 years ago

Don’t you notice if the first time? Do you think it adds nothing to its skyline? Would you recognise it as quickly without it?

The Epic v Google case was settled recently, in November, I guess they were waiting for that.

Just like everything in the World is fake, the spire was added only in 1896, deliberately for making the island more picturesque and gothic. Here is a photo from 1878:

Yes the headline is clickbait and misleading, this data is not usable for anything to us mortals, it’s for researchers who need very low quality data but for global calculations.

We utilized building footprint datasets from various sources (see Table 2), including OSM (OpenStreetMap contributors, 2025), Google Open buildings (Google Research, 2023), Microsoft Building Footprints (Microsoft, 2024), and CLSM (Shi et al., 2024). Since none of the above-mentioned footprints is complete, we also generated our own global building polygons from an updated version of GlobalBuildingMap (Zhu et al., 2024),

As I’m a frequent OSM contributor, I’m familiar with those other datasets, and they are shit. Just zoom in any river or lake near a city and you will find houses in the water, clearly grid based building are nicely dancing around, etc. The demoed areas are from OSM, and mostly drawn manually, you can see them on a lot other sources without the low quality AI gen contours, e.g.:

• https://demo.f4map.com/
• https://streets.gl/
• https://osmbuildings.org/

Edit: I read it through, and the actual research is they acquired building height data, and added it to the already existing datasets:

All the aforementioned datasets are mostly 2d. OSM has some building height data.

And their point is not to have a detailed and end user friendly dataset, just a global one,

The oldest upload of this photo I could find is on the facebook page of St. Catharines Museum & Welland Canals Centre, from 2020: https://www.facebook.com/stcatharinesmuseum/posts/3816671921684055/

[…] this great 1939 shot of “Captain” Oscar Fletcher riding his 22 ft. long model ship of the RMS Queen Mary.

Desktop firefox has a button in the rightclick menu “copy clean link” or something. But usually you can delete everything from the first & or ? sign. They are called query strings and if you learn how they work it’s easy to spot the tracking ones.
