   Just a friendly reminder that the SETI@Home project needs some computing power due to a recent influx of new data, so if you've got some to spare, please help! https://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/

   Why does GNU Social take up so much DB space? After a couple years of running with only 20 people and two active users its at 500 MB!

   Patreon makes me log in every time I want to click the like/fave button on a post.

   I don't know if this is because it never saves my login, or because I use too many computers, or whether I don't click "like" often enough and it always expires my session.

   But it's damned annoying.

   So this is cool. I emailed the GIMP team a few weeks ago about getting the latest version of GIMP in the #elementary #AppCenter and they said they didn't really have an interest in doing so. Then I was just sitting here and saw a new project! Akira! It looks pretty awesome!

   https://github.com/Alecaddd/Akira

   I will be watching this project!

     @aadilayub @poetgrant It also depends on what you're using it for: #GIMP is better for manipulating existing images (like photo editing), #Krita for from-scratch art.

     @poetgrant isn't that Elementary's job? I thought most distros packaged their own store.

   @noelle It's fine lol. I have some money and can find another job. Just annoying, as I wasn't expecting to be laid off for another month and it's short notice. -_-

   • ☭⚑ Comrade Angles ⚑☭ (angle@anticapitalist.party)'s status on Sunday, 30-Sep-2018 19:06:35 EDT ☭⚑ Comrade Angles ⚑☭

     Got laid off. My employer is just like "Yeah, you did a good job so we don;t need you anymore. Bye!".

     Ugh. Capitalism. :/

    Oh, for....

    Okay, how many characters do I ACTUALLY get before that annoying new 'Read More' link cuts them off?

      @natecull 322 pixels tall.

      So it's height, not number of characters, that affects it.

      @Gargron Would it be possible to make this configurable, and/or check toot length to ensure it's over 500 before collapsing a post? (And make them expandable within the timeline in any case.)

      @natecull @bhtooefr I also hate "Read more" on websites. I invariably click it because _I'm on your website to read_.

      What drives me nuts is when it only reveals a few more characters or no characters at all, effectively wasting my time and energy because the developer was too lazy to implement it smartly.

    > With eight octa-core compute dies, Rome can offer up to 64 cores and 128 threads, effectively doubling/quadrupling (AVX2) the throughput of first-generation EPYC. Although Rome stays with 128 PCIe lanes, it brings new supports for PCIe Gen 4, doubling the transfer rate from 8 GT/s to 16 GT/s. There are eight DDR4 memory channels supporting up to four terabytes of DRAM per socket. One interesting detail AMD disclosed with their GPU announcement is that the infinity fabric now supports 100 GB/s (BiDir) per link. If we assume the Infinity Fabric 2 still uses 16 differential pairs as with first-generation IF, it would mean the IF 2 now operates at 25 GT/s, identical to NVLink 2.0 data rate. However, since AMD’s IF is twice as wide, it provides twice the bandwidth per link over Nvidia’s NVLink.

    Starting a conversation with a wave. It's natural to respond this way once you see an NPC wave at you whilst looking you in the eyes. Looking forward to finding a 3d modeler and animator to bring my NPCs to life! #potioneer
